HELP !! men & population
Posted: Sat Jan 28, 2006 12:29 am
"Men: 4/8" appears as an illustration at page 23, bottom right. What does that entry mean? I'm guessing it means "Population presently 4 with possible growth to 8 without modifying anything in the province".
*******
on the resources bar there is a "men" icon of a person at attention that represents "usable population level" per rules, page 56, bottom left. If you build a unit (or draft people) it goes down. The rule suggests the "men" number is simply a function of population. I haven't been watching it closely, so what makes it go up except population growth (per below)? If people starve that turn, does the "men" number go down?
**********
I get messages about "population grows 1". Where does that population growth occur? Is it reflected in the first number/numerator of the "4/8" fraction, i.e. the "4/8" now becomes a "5/8"?
