đ TILES OWNED
Number of territory tiles you control on the map. More tiles increase your base population capacity exponentially.
Base = tiles^0.6 Ã 1000 + 50,000,000
đ° CITY LEVELS
Sum of all your city levels. Each city level provides a linear bonus of 25,000 to your maximum population capacity.
City Bonus = sum of levels à 25,000
đĨ CURRENT POPULATION
Your current troop count. Growth rate is highest at approximately 42% of max capacity, then decreases as you approach the limit.
Growth = (10 + pop^0.73/4) Ã (1 - pop/max)
⥠MAX POPULATION
Your total population capacity based on tiles owned and city development.
Max Pop = 2 Ã Base + City Bonus
đ¯ OPTIMAL POPULATION (42%)
The mathematical sweet spot for maximum troop growth efficiency. Staying near this level maximizes your growth rate per tick!
