Hi all, tried to find an answer to this already posted but couldn't.  In a game I'm playing, I've taken over a few cities.  For some reason, they are subtracting MASSIVE amounts of citizens from my total empire population.  This is completely disproportionate with the number of citizens allocated to the various buildings in each city (i.e., if one needs 150 citizens to run it's buildings and has in excess of that amount it still subtracts like 400+ in the citizen's part of the city menu).

Can anyone clarify why this is happening?  Does it have to do with the fact that the city was conquered (and these are fallen cities and I'm not playing fallen).  Do I have to raze and rebuild them, or can this be addressed?  Or, should this not be happening at all and something is wrong?

Thanks for your input.
