What happen to the female citizen?

missing female Citizens

from Elemental Forums

I read many of the forums relating creating new units. Is there a male to female ratio in each city, town, outpost?

I understand that when you create a unit like a warrior, you took out one of the male citizen from the town he live and train in.

but what happen if you made a female mage? you take out a female citizen and turn her into a mage?

 

Let look it at this way.

a outpost has 30 people living in it. You the player want to make 30 female mage. what happen now? are your whole outpost all are girls? if so how does the outpost grow into a town?

 

even if you say you don't want the mage to be females, you want them to be males. you make 30 male mages. so how now you going grow and expend your outpost population?

 

Is there a ratio of male and females?

like if you have more females, your town or outpost increase population faster

male incrase production and if you train them to be warrior they are hardy.

 

Brad what are your thought in this?

Brad already stated that taking the "egalitarian" trait (which let you you train men and women) will b e at the cost of a lower birth rate.

Does that mean approximately double recruitment or something? 'cause it seems useless otherwise.......

yes you can double twice as much units, but your population growth will be smaller if you do

Also, at least early game, most of the population growth comes from people joining your cities who were previously wandering in the wastelands. At least, that's what the lore seems to be saying at the moment.

Without egalitarian, your recruitment power is half your pop.

With it you can hire as many as you want.

I don't remember where I read it. It was about traits chosen at start. The message of Brad is lost in the middle of a discussion.
