Population versus number of districts

[Underseer]

All I could find on this is that you get another district for every three population in a city.

What I would liked is just a simple table showing population versus number of districts, since it would be handy to have for those cities in which you plan to build a spaceport later. My Google-fu is weak. Does any such table exist? If not, could we put one together here? And maybe lost all three things that can modify this? As for modifiers, the only one I know of is that Germany gets +1 to the number of possible districts.

Also, are there any districts that don't count towards the district limit? The in-game help says that neighborhoods and aqueducts do not count towards the limit, but are they the only ones?

I think that it goes 3-6-10-13-16-20 etc for new districts. And yes aqueduct and neighborhood are the only two that don't count towards limit, and you can have more than 1 neighborhood per city

Seems like your basic math isn't much better than your Google-fu. Not sure why anybody would need a table for that o_O

You take the number of citizens in a city. Subtract 1. Then you divide by 3. And then you know how many districts the city can construct (before bonuses kick in).

If you have a City with 209 Citizens, you subtract 1 (208), then you divide by 3 (69,3), then you know the city can construct 69 Districts.

Pop:
1-4-7-10-13-16-19...

Districts you can build:
1-2-3-4-5-6-7...

Germany districts:
2-3-4-5-6-7-8...

Thanks, but it wasn't clear from the description (e.g. where are the boundaries?). And yes, I'm being extremely lazy, but I thought if I was looking for such a table on Google, someone else might find it handy as well. If I'm looking at a city with population x, I'm not going to think (x-1)/3 rounded down. Or at least, I'm probably not going to remember the formula.

P-D
1-1
2-1
3-1
4-2
5-2
6-2
7-3
8-3
9-3
...

and so on.

Is there anything else that affects these numbers? Such as great people effects?

Don't take this personally, but this might not be the best subforum for you, then

I believe that unique districts (e.g. royal navy dockyard) don't count towards your limit either.

 

[Browd]

They do not count towards the limit.

I can handle math (as long as it's diffy-q or less), it's just that when I'm in the middle of a game making decisions because a dialog box popped up, I don't want to go look up a formula and do the old plug 'n chug thing. If I have a table or spreadsheet I can look at on my phone, it's just faster and easier.

I just realized that I forgot to add +1 for the initial district that every city can construct. The total number of districts in that example would of course by 70, not 69, what an embarrassing oversight, especially after making fun of the OPs math.

Thankfully it wasn't pointed it out, so nobody will ever know!
