I did see anywhere a discussion about what is and what is going on with population in the game with the exemption of this indirect Kaigon definition:
4. Basetax is a value of the richness of the province AND also the size of the population outside the city/cities.
Firstly, is it defined what the population number in provinces actually represents? Are these people whole population in the province or just the town? Are these the subjects of the crown or just people on king’s estates or taxed population? With regards to this definition we will realize that in some provinces there are very few people comparing to real history.
Secondly, people should not appear and disappear in the game. If 100 colonists is send on their way the some amount should be deducted from the country (capital, great port, proportionally?), which would simulate the fact that you could find hundreds of square kilometres of abandoned land in Portugal or Spain after their colonies started to prosper.
I don’t understand this 200 colonist or 2000 citizens in capital event.
By the same logic ‘capital attraction’ or ‘new land claimed’ events should be rephrased since now it looks like people just fell from moon. Alternatively some people can leave form provinces/ other country in such a case.
Thirdly, plague event should be more realistic IMHO, I got severe decrease of population (-2500) in northern Finland leaving barely 1000 there. This event should be related with some countries preferably densely populated ones and not these close to the north pole
