Growing beyond Population 12

[onomastikon]

It seems one of my cities has a population of 12 and a full food box, but growth is listed as 9999 turns -- I supposed this means I cannot grow for some reason? (Odd, though, since I usually know the "zero growth" message.) What is the reason for this? Do I need something specific to get beyond Pop 12? Thanks.

You need a Hospital (available with Sanitation). And, in C3C the Shakespeare's Theatre Wonder has that effect as well (but of course, it can be build only once).

Keep in mind that more every pop beyond 12 gives you a pollution. If you have a mass transit system, then pop pollution is at maximum of 4.

Also note that cities have no population limit in the Sengoku scenario.

Sengoku has the standard 6/12 levels, and no Hospital equivalent.

No, my cities in Sengoku don't hit the 12 pop thing for some reason. Surprised me to no end.

Sure you didn't accidentially mod the biq? Like checking the 'size 3' flag for Barracks?

My .biq indicates that there should be a limit at size 12, but my game says otherwise.
