What's the largest city you grew?

Save_Ferris · Apr 2, 2011

I've looked at this thread and I've seen some pretty impressive stuff. So I've started a new game (Askia, Settler, Archapelago) with only one city to see how high I can grow it. I'll be posting a thread in the Stories forum about it in the next few days, we'll see how it goes!

You can have up to I think a 49-size city (IIRC) considering 35 workable tiles and a few more specialist slots. After that it's unemployed citizens.

I really think unemployed citizens should get boosted to +2 production. Adds more strategy - if one of your flatland cities needs some emergency production, pull a few guys off the TPs.

I just tried and it's 52 size city before unemployment.

Late game the unemployed do receive +2 production and if you go down rationalism policy route you can also get +2 Science from each unemployed citizen!

That is awesome - Did you use a mod or builder of some sort?

Save_Ferris - I took a look at your thread, it's very interesting, but IMO unless you have an archipelago start position with fish you could have a food struggle on your hands!
You need fish and the colossos to be able to financially sustain being allied with all those proposed maritime city states. I personally don't think you could possibly have the finances with just one city.

Good Luck.

I thought this was good - obviously not!

Yeah, I probably should have changed some stuff. But spoiler alert- I'm at 1000 BC (turn 200) with 1 million people.

Darn it, made a mistake on my Completely Bananas run through. Naively thought bananas plantations on hills gave same food as plains - like the raw bananas - I only choose hills for aesthetics. This is going to cost me at least 20 citizens.

Anyone good enough to edit a save game to change it for me?

PS who needs maritime states.

i got 35 with paris, continents prince. The start was basically a two rivers crossing, i had in range both FPs and river Grassland, i had also sugar but unfortunately there were a few deserts and coast tiles
I was playing with TBC pre march patch, which basically had aqueduct, +1 food with granary etc.

Largest City: 49
Turn 2046

I'm one turn from building the Utopia Project. Have the last piece of my spaceship sitting in my capital and I've just won a Diplomatic Victory.

Quick, King, Standard, Earth.

I didn't even know you could have 43 unemployed citizens

KrikkitTwo · Apr 7, 2011

Well the maximum (theoretically) is

Total Food from Tiles - Total # of worked tiles (because unemployed only take 1 food with Civil Society)

assuming all 36 tiles worked... and all Grassland/Floodplain that's 36*4-36=108
Then add the output of the city center
2
+2 Granary
+2 Watermill
+5 Hospital
+2 Landed Elite
=
13

for a total of 121 pop.
for Aztecs that's 144

and that's with no Maritimes or Special tiles (+1 for Fish, +2 Wheat, Banana)

So for mass Banana, Aztecs, and 10 CS (giving 4 food each)
6*36+40+13=269
+15%=309
-36=273

So 273 is the max in an unmodded civ. (the ability to reach that level by 2050 is something different)

My largest city ever. Finally, got tired and decided to win that turn, instead of continuing the milking fase.

Of course, Temple of Artemis helps a lot. Krikkitone's calculations should be revised to include the new wonder
