I got an update when I started up the game yesterday - it was about 10pm MST
is that how it works with Republic? what would be the point/advantage of Republic then?correct! If the city you want to increase is greater than pop 5, it will NOT give you +1 per. settler. It will now take you 2-3+ settlers to increase 1 pop. When the city is above 11 pop, it takes 3-4 settlers now

now it's coming together, thanks!Well the point/advantage of republic was to be able to settle NEW towns for only a 1 pop penalty to your capital/city. And that new city can be 2-3 pop depending on the age. So 1 pop penalty to gain 2-3 pop elsewhere is an advantage. I think doing a regular settler depletes your population by 2 w/out a Republic.
edit: and by "elsewhere" I mean "at a newly founded city"
I'm happy they decided to patch the mega city, but to be honest, if you have a city close to the sea + Harbor + Aqueduct = Megacity, specially if you are Japanese, slow but mega city anyway. If you can rise the pop of you city til 10 with only 1 settler, well that is more than boost for that city.
Ok I just tested this out and its still the same. I have v1.10 in US and settlers still give me 1 pop. At 2 pop, 10 pop, 21 pop, 30 pop, you name it. Adding a settler to a city ALWAYS gave me +1pop.
I'm totally Player #3The discussion on the 2K forums is really weird.
2K Elizabeth: No gameplay changes in this patch
Player: Um they definitely nerfed settlers
2K Elizabeth: wtf ima go test this with Firaxis
2K Elizabeth: Yeah everything's normal we don't know wtf you guys are talking about
Player #2: Yeah settlers are nerfed for me too
Player #3: wtf they aren't nerfed for me
Summary: Nobody knows wtf is going on.
Someone experiencing this should post a video on Youtube or something so we (and 2K, since apparently they don't even know about this) can at least see it happening.
tonycz, since there's conflicting reports of this, the best way to verify this is if you send a video/screenshots of this taking place.
