Population Growth Formula

[JNR13]

Here's a comparison between the Food cost of growth in Civ VI and Civ VII.

Civ VI's formula is 15 + (n-1) x 8 + (n-1) ^ 1.5
Civ VII's formula is 30 + (n-1) x 3 + (n-1) ^ 3.29999995231628
n is the current population.

These are the results:

Important note: This is not the "population" you see ingame in Civ VII. Every building adds 1 population in Civ VII to your cities. This population does not work tiles, it is not a "growth event". It does not increase the cost of getting the next growth event. To get your "true" population for the purpose of this reference table, subtract the number of buildings in the city (including bridges but not walls, wonders or unique improvements!) from the number shown in the city banner. Alternatively, count the number of rural districts and specialists in the city and add them.

I want to believe the constant for 7's formula is a weird javascript quirk so bad

But how to do you count specialists ? Also, I got the feeling some have disappeared... weird stuff going on.

Get the TCS mod (link in signature) to count them, that's the only way without manually counting.

Sometimes they go dormant when you change ages if you have a lot stacked on a tile, because the number of specialists allowed on a tile goes down at transition. They reappear when you unlock another level.

Ok it makes more sense now thank you. Changing ages is quite something now wow.

Do the Growth% bonuses adjust the amount required anymore or do they just change the amount added in?
