POP tally inconsistent

[unmerged(14102)]

not sure if has been reported yet [quick search turned up nada].

v1.03 GC BRA

start game. run a few days. go to POP sheet [page 6] sum up the creoles. you get 5998.

go back to main view, click population, look at pie chart, multiply percent creoles against total pop. [0.4 * 5915000 = 23666]. they are off by factor of about 4.

my only question now is which number is the game engine using?

The game assumes three dependants for each worker, so the lower number is the number of people in the RGO working, the pie chart gives total number of people.

Ahhh!... so does consumption go by workers or total population? and where did i miss reading this little fact?

By POPs, not by population, clergy gotta eat, too. (so much for priestly celibacy, if we are assuming three dependants per ).

For clerics, must be those orphans they're caring for.

 

[Gwalcmai]

In catholic countries, nuns are clergy too. While POP size only includes able bodied men (those that are capable of military service). Other christian clergy is not beholden to celibacy.

See? You can easily rationalize anything you find strange in a Paradox game.
