Re: Zero Population Growth - Fact or Fiction?
I thought about making a multiplayer game once where everybody had zero population growth, just to see how differently people would play.

Re: Zero Population Growth - Fact or Fiction?
Wow! I didn't realize you could bring Population growth down to zero. I think I will incorperate that in my game. Would require players to really keep track of their population and strive for jubilence otherwise you population will be limited. Also, with this implemented, a race could theorectically be eliminated in population yet some of its technology be still around.
LOL... "a long time ago, a race long dead occupied these cities". I love this game!

Re: Zero Population Growth - Fact or Fiction?
Hmm... with trade, remote mining, and/or mod techniques, an empire could go about its business even without any population. It just wouldn't be able to build things on planets.

PvK: Who said anything about having 0 population? We're talking about 0 population growth here.  |

Re: Zero Population Growth - Fact or Fiction?
Do mineral miners and the like work on a planet with zero population?

Re: Zero Population Growth - Fact or Fiction?
I don't THINK so... or maybe I'm thinking of building things...

Re: Zero Population Growth - Fact or Fiction?
No, they don't. Planets with 0 pop can't do anything except exist.  Same with Rioting planets.
