Well, I noticed there were some population growth discussions from about 7 months ago, so I thought we might revisit the question of how population should grow in cities.
At the beginning, apparently most of them will relinquish their rugged life in the country side for a cushier life in a sovereign's empire, but I'm wondering how long into the game immigration remains the primary means of gaining citizens. This would primarily depend on how long a game turn is and how many turns a game lasts.
It would be interesting if a sovereign had to balance between both ways of gaining citizens mid game (early game benefits immigration, where as late game favors fertility) and perhaps there is even a gap between the point where new immigrants from the country side become properly civilized. Any ideas?
