Population and Manpower

[richtern]

From the trade goods list it got me thinking about how population and manpower grows.

What is the correlation between population and manpower growth?

Well, the men for the manpower come from the general population, so I'd guess they would increase with the same %

well sorry for my previous indepth answer

Each province has a default manpower, from province to province, they vary. The highest I found is moskva (12) and the lowest is 1. And if you want to see an in game example, just click on each province and compare population and manpower, I gurantee that Moskva is in the top 5, if not the top one already.

The more population the more manpower you get based on a percentage by the default manpower, iirc, though once you reach 200,000 the affects are gone.

So I expect provinces like Rome to have high default manpowers and provinces that are uncivilized to have lower manpower.

So the default manpower acts as a modifier for the total manpower. i.e. default manpower*population = usable manpower

Wasn't the amount of manpower a province provided based on the number of freedmen, the amount of income provided based on the number of slaves and the amount of research provided based upon the number of a third population type (citizens or something like that?)?

From what was described in the developer diaries I think we can expect a somewhat different population mechanism than has existed in the past.
