[Bug/Gameplay v0.262] Infinite Housing?

December 4, 2009 12:47 AM from

It does not appear that a city's population decreases when demolishing housing. Then new housing just adds to the total, so the maximum population is higher than it should be. For example, I had two kingom huts (for a total population of 35). I then deleted one, and built a new one. Even though I still only had two kingdom huts, I now had a maximum population of 45, and the city leveled up a few turns later (upon reaching 40 population).

I have not played around with this much more than just confirming that it is happening, but I would guess that repeatedly building and demolishing houses right now would allow as much population as you desired, without using more than one subplot.

I can confirm this. I accidentially stumbled across this as I was demolishing some of my hovels to replace with better housing for the Noble Quarters of my Capital. The population cap does not decrease when houses are destroyed. My town sure must have a lot of homeless people.

I too am able to reproduce this bug.
