Colonization Bug, reproduceable

[unmerged(67447)]

I'm playing as Carthage. When I colonize, the population in the capitol gets messed up. Citizens and freemen go up and slaves goes way down. It looks like the game is setting the population to a 40:40:20 ratio for some reason.

Ok, still no official reply. Here's a bump. I would really like to see this fixed. Colonizing should NOT magically convert a bunch of slaves to freemen and citizens.

I've seen this as well. Whenever population is taken from a province to help start a colony, it sets all three provinces (colony, adjacent province, capital) to a ratio of 40-40-20. I've also heard from others that it occasionally happens when a new governor is appointed, but I haven't seen it myself.

From my testing, it seems to happen any time the population of a province jumps down. I wrote this little event to try it out:

country_event = {
	id = 9990999
	is_triggered_only = yes
	title = "test"
	option = {
		name = "1"
		capital_scope = {
			population = -1
		}
		random_owned = {
			population = -1
		}
		random_owned = {
			population = -2
		}
		random_owned = {
			population = -3
		}
	}
}

When fired, every province that the event modifies gets reset to 40-40-20 no matter what it had before. I'm not sure how governors could cause this, but colonization drops the population so it makes sense.

I'll log this as a bug too have a look at.

Increasing population via the barbarian absorption event also sets the population to 40:40:20.
