Poulation growth

**lordyu** · November 28, 2006, 12:10 AM

Playing the byzantines on H/VH its 1199 . 2 turns a year. I have two cities with a population of 170000 plus.

Constantinople with 177626
Thesolonica 194527

have anyone have cities with such populaion? I have had the luck of very good generals to run tings. Thesolonica is still growing.
sorry I do not know how to take ingame pics.

No, I have never seen a city with a pop like that, how do you keep them under control?

and to take a pic in the game, you push the print screen button, which copies it to your clipboard, then paste it into MSpaint or something.

Actually, if you hit Print Screen, it takes a .tga screenshot in the Medieval 2 Total War Folder under the tgas folder.

those are some Crazy Pop's!

Wow, is that possible? Highest pop I've seen is something like 35,000.. And it just causes rioting all the time.
Is that a bug or something? =)

The growth rate penalty caused by squalor maxes out at 16%. If you have more growth than that, which is possible particularly if you have a good governor, then the city will continue to grow exponentially, e.g. http://www.europabarbarorum.com/i/M2TW/Shuggy.jpg.
