Max city population?

[Subotan]

I've never heard of anything that size. If you can prove it with a screenie, I'll congratulate you.

The proof:)

Won't this cause riots?

[anubis88]

What do you mean? Why?

[Pobs]

Yes, as population increases squalor increases and after a certain time you wont be able to build any more anti-squalor upgrades.... the good news is that if you move your army out, let it rebel, then retake it you can make a mint out of decimating such a huge population !!


cheers,

Nah, i won't do that.

There are only a few units in the city, and the order is at 140% on very high taxes. I guess i just have a superb governor. I will just leave the taxes as they are... Once the Governor dies, i will probably have to lower the taxes and add a few units, but that's it


So did anyone have such a huge population?

[Tiberius Claudius Marcellus]

Max pop I've ever been able to attain in Roman homeland territories with decent governors is about 36k - and that happened once. Usually I'm more likely to obtain about 30k.

And good on you for not forcing your population to revolt so you can massacre them. I have always hated that exploit. Now......should they revolt in spite of me trying to keep them happy, it's game on.

Good luck to you when that governor dies.

I remember having cities of 60000+ in vanilla RTW.

In my current KH game Nikaia has a population of around 42000 but this is with me conciously trying to keep city populations low (no granary building once a city reaches huge size, only the first level of farms built) and seems to be the result of a particularly effective governor. Generally I like to have my cities between 20-30k to keep the unrest under control without having to rely on governors.

The proof:)

Nice achievement dude.

That's one cool AI Rome expansion you got in 129bc. Anyway, Ive just reinstalled the game not long. I may have had it in he past but I'm not sure because I don't always build everything healthwise. Grats. Ill try to do the same to Baktra!

[Africanus]

Most of my homeland cities are over 45k. I'm pretty sure Rome would be over 50k but I've been pumping out troops from there pretty regularly.

The first screenie the guy was using Parthia, although it looked to me like it was recoloured to be the same as the Saka. In the second screenshot he was using Rome; which is probably why Rome was doing somehting you had never seen before.

Look to the bottom right of the screen shot and you will see the faction symbol that is being used.

EDIT: Also keep in mind that the first screen shot was taken in 129BC. Thats a long way into the game. Surely after that many turns a single Naval invasion would have taken place.

Actually it's not the same color. At the time i didn't have a border with them, and i decided to change my colors, and only after they conquered some lands from baktria i saw that they kinda look similar, but definetly not the same, so i will keep it for a while.

Also rome doesn't do much on its own. I always give them money, and move their armies around, hoping they would become a superpower as they were in RL. They did however sen reinforcments to greece and africa once they got a foothold.

Sory i see, its the parthia symbol not greeks, but hes parthia not romans ?
