75+k pops becoming 50+k pops

[mib]

Since pops split at 100k, it's safe to assume that they shouldn't split at 75k. However, many a time I promoted 3 craftsmen + 2 clerks of 75k each, and when I check back they become 50k pops. I have too many pops to see if they actually split into 2 50k & 25k pops, or simply become 50k. But it shouldn't be happening. This was also in Vicky IIRC.

Have not seen this, will do some testing to see what is up.

This is a common behaviour of pops splitting.
When you have alot of big pops in one province, they will eventually all tend to keep in 50k+ sizes.

So I think this is more apart of the game than it being a bug.

I have seen a LOT of this happen. It seems to me that it happens to large populations when populations of the same workforce immigrate to a certain province. When this happens, it reduces all pops of this workforce to a maximum of 50k. If You have three pops, 85, 45 and 25k and get 1000 immigrants, you end up with 50k (85-35), 50k, (45+5), 50k (25+25), and 6k (1+5). The total population does not change, since 85+45+25+1 = 156 and 50+50+50+6=156.
