A rounding problem with population

I don't really agree Agrajag. Not with the maths that I'm sure you have spot on But the problem is completely depleted provinces which cannot ever again produce even a 1 resource mage. Even a tiny population (enough to give a few resources or even just one) would be a huge boost. Often being able to build a unit (scout/ mage/ leader - even over a few turns) is what you want out of a province rather than a troop factory. The pop death does not remove the indi mage sites but it can make them worthless, especuially if surrounded by other zero pop provinces.

Exactly. That's why I hate depleted provinces--no indie mages from them.

I had another thought--it should only apply if there are people next door. People can't move in unless they are there to move in.
