Largest Settlement population

[penquin11]

here is a screeny



oh and by the way i did not use any cheats.....

[Rockstone]

I like that morale...
Also... 1 million 800 thousand gold. In turn 13!

Lets just say, my games are not that easy...

I've gotten Alexandria (3.5% farming!) to well over 120,000 with a ten chiv governor. Constantinople to about 100,000 or so with another ten chiv governor.

And, uh, of course you're not cheating. 1.86 million florins on turn 13 and all of those maxed out buildings....

No, of course he's not. Haven't you heard? Byzantines start out with super builders!

[Rockstone]

... super builders!

Yeah... I think I remember that trait... from Civ IV .
Or using "~"

He could have modded the files very easily.
But what's the difference between modding files and console? idk.

[penquin11]

lolz luv the supar building part, but u must remember that Constantinople starts out w/ most of their buildings done, and that 13 turns can equal upgrade to a huge city and upgrade to max farm thing....the rest twas thar..not only that but it took me only 3 turns to upgrade my city and only 2 turns to upgrade most of the rest, including the farms
any ways it seems that yes the bzyantine emp does have supar builders...as there is no reason that constantinople is earnin that much money, oh and by the way ive got an update
oh and the the guys stats were earned the following ways----
max command- fighting in 4 major battles
max authority- making lots o allies and managing the city ultra freaking well, oh and conducting the largest trade market EVER
max piety- ugrading the churches, and having a 100% orthodox city (thnx to a priest)
max chivalry- always realeasing captives & in general taking care of the empire/ also having normal/not high taxes.

Adrianople with 11000 income. Now I know we're not playing the same game.

lolz, consider this a wise take on economics, if there is a city in your kindom or state rather, any economic progress achieved will be spread due to intrastate trade/ interstate....so basically constantinople doing well has helped adrianople do well, also thessalonica is doing well so that helped them out, also by means of sea trade athens began doing well, and finally corinth is doing well because of the sea trade and the land trade with the rest, also recently my close ally of nogorod captured caffa, which is a minor city, and has enabled trade through the sea and caffa has both slaves and a mine..., not to mention that recent military sucess has helped get more money, along with the absolute failure of my enemies...all of my battles have been against rebels so far, and whenever it seems that a kingdom that my relations are abysmal with (turks) seem to have something going for them enough to attack me, they lose some settlement (recently their capital (3times now)) to some rebelion, also i have a healthy balance of units so that they dont absorb my money, and it seems that i currently am the only one to control silk, grain, sulphur, marble, and sugar....despite that being quite odd i am enjoying the benefits of it.

According to this Canakkale should be making more than 743, don't you think?

[penquin11]

lol no because canakkale is missing out on its opportunity to earn over 5000 through the naval trade, and unfortunelty it only has a dirt road for now, which by upgrading it to a highway should earn it some 700+, but also my entire empire right now is having a poor harvest, and since it is a wooden castle that hits it hard, also it has low poplation so it cannot bring in much money through taxes and the land surrounding it has few reasources of value (also the land around it suffers from not being highly fertile) not to mention that the only other settlement that is farther than it that i have captured is a castle

[lacrossepl9]

How many battles could you have fought in 13 turns it takes that long just to develop an army never mind expand, also in order to establish that much trade you must be allied with every nation in the game no castle can make 11,000 in just 13 turns there is no way unless you have the sub mod that allows your forces to move like twice the speed they normally do which was a legit submod and would probably help you prove you didn't cheat, I believe that you got Constantinople to such a high pop. but you not cheating, doubt it.

[biohaker]

There is no way a castle can make 11.000 florins. The guy is cheating.

please explain how i can make a city earn that much, or a castle even through cheating, cause i bet u would know much more about this than me, also does the word trade mean anything 2 u?

[penquin11]

Trade much, oh and i usually dont have fow off since the mini map burns my eyes but when the notice about the kwarez falling cam i was like wut zee fawk, so i cheked it out (they had had a huuuge land area, no wars, good trade, and furthermore were powerful even a match for the mighty byzantines that i control
screeny

[biohaker]

Although historically the City WAS the biggest city in medieval times.

But the game cannot simulate history that much.

[thdot44]

I currently have constantinople with 350,000 pop

[Nightbringer]

um, ya, it just isnt possible to build that much in 13 turns, you must be cheating in some way

[frederickm]

I don't know, I mean 10k from adrianople fortress? My 200+ turn huge city adrianople makes less.
No cheats, I changed my game from normal to 2TPY balancing, and Istanbul went from 9k a turn to a crazy 13k, but the building cost ridiculously much and walls takes 18 turns to build.
I'm quite proud of Istanbul and in fact entire Dardanelles because they are really the backbone of the Turkish economic machine.




Side note: if Byzantium had supar builders like the OP, I would have had a easier time after destroying them
