noob question: population

Hi all!

I'm fairly new to fallen enchantress but I got most figured out (I think), except for population.

What exactly is the use of popluation beyond 600 (threshold to get your city to level 5)? I thought it would effect gildar production but it seems it doesn't..

Thanks!

You can sacrifice them if you have level 5 deathmagic. 1 pop = 1 mana.

Very very limited.

AFAIK, the benefits are:

If you cast the spells 'Sacrifice' or 'Blood Curse', it will provide a greater benefit
If someone casts the spell 'Blight', you'd be in a slightly better position afterward
Extra population adds to your score at the end, and in calculations for your rating vs. other kingdoms/empires

Alright! thanks for the fast reply all . Seems like the options for population are limited indeed...

Yeah one thing I noticed in Stardock games is how little population has an effect on anything. War of Magic actually tried to implement it. In the future I would like to see more uses for population such as how they are implemented in MOO and MOM.

So why would you want to have cities with 6+ grain then..? (e.g. I now have a city that has 10 grain due to farms and such)

Faster growth rate for one thing. The more space between current population and maximum population, the faster the growth speed.

You can reach level tresholds much faster and cheaper. (no need for "farm" buildings) It's more of an issue early in the game, later high production and tech will solve it for most 2+ grain cities. For instance, a 6 grain city can reach lvl 3 quite fast (Oracle/Scroll Scribe, Infirmary/Strike Garrison/Watchtower improvements), and the upgrades you get there is quite nice
