newbie question concerning population

[Taqwus]

In the full game, you could mod the growth scale to make it stronger -- absurdly so if you'd like. You'd also be strengthening the effect of taking death scale if you do so, I think.

I agree instead that pop should gwoth more quickly with growth scale ...

If you're a god of prosperity, and took growth, your pop should reproduce quickly ... at least at 0.5% instead of 0.2% per point of scale.

And some spell that raise the population should be nice too.

I agree... there should be some spell which targets a single province for increasing population since the exact opposite is true. There are lots of spells to decrease population which shows a serious unbalance when compared with spells which increase population.

The thing that most illustrates the difference to me is that if you Wish for "Armageddon", it does a 20% population loss to *all* provinces. But IIRC, if you Wish for "population", it just shuffles some population from somewhere else to one random province.

Things I'd love to see:

- ability to mod a base population growth so that growth 0 would mean normal human population growth, and the growth/death scales would then represent magical adjustment from that default.

- One or two powerful very high-level spells that increase population of a province in a big way (ie: counteracting all the many powerful population killing spells and events).

I know about that damn wish option ...
I'd like to see wish heavily reviewed.

not nice to hear that you confirmed that only with positive growth you get a marginal population increase
is there even no random event which gives you e.g. 2-3 thousand new population ?

is ermor in dominions 2 as strong as in dominions 1 or does it need now some living population too ?

[Cohen]

There's an event that "migrate" population ... not create new population
