No new Citizen with population increase.

[Ken Poirier]

Today in Game 7484, playing as KenP. When reaching population of 17 my food was cashed in and I received a population medal, but, I did not get a new citizen. I still only have 16 and my new house remains empty.

You have 17, but the 17th is playing hide and seek with you.

Check your house productions again. You will see one that has more than double the next best house. Look at hat house again and you will see two people cohabitating.

After 16, new population live in houses with existing population.

i keep having a simillar problem ive only got 7 population and every time my food reaches the increase point it goes down to 0 but instead of new population it just changes 1 of my workers to a scientist and ive even tried building an empty house but it just keeps doing the same thing

I have never heard of nor seen that behavior. That does not mean it is not be happening, just that it is very rare if it is. When in doubt... refresh browser cache and log in with a new browser session.

This happened to me as well. I had population 8, went up to population 9, but did not get a new citizen. It shows in the world news that I reached population 9, but I am still at population 8, my food was used up, and the amount required for the next population increase is the same as it was for pop 9.

I finally realized that my loss of a citizen was the result of a barbarian raid.

Boy oh boy oh boy...


What a sad state of affairs the game is in when Barbarians actually eat population rather than the other way around.... So much for the good old days when Treebeard would kill all the barbarians for all civs just because he was bored.

Send my regrets to the kin of those lost to the rampaging barbarians.
