Simple Question

[akash patel]

Why aren't my cities' rank rising. Like my smallest one is stuck at 2 and won't go up. The bubble is gray.

Are you playing as the Infernal civ with the fallow trait? (population is not affected by food, you must add manes to a city.)
Are you playing as the Kuriotate civ with the sprawling trait? (Settlements recieve a food penalty and will not grow very big, but your main cities should compensate.)
Do you have "avoid growth" selected on the city governor screen? (deselect it if so)

 

[kenken244]

do you have extra food?

 

[eerr]

is your city producing more than twice it's population in food?

erm, rank in what?
