Population Bonus worth it?

June 5, 2006 6:56:59 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
In the last game i played i chose the population bonus +70%. I havn't really been noticing any bonus. My planets all seem to be growing at the regular 200,000m a turn. Maybe im not being observant enough but id like to know if there really is any bonus to the population bonus.

Thanks.

Last time I checked, population growth was capped, but this might have been changed in one of the patches.

I don't know if the abilites give the correct bouns to your pop growth when you build Aphrodisiac though it seems to speed growth quite a bit though on your planets that are above class 6.. << when it is below this class it seems to cap population farely quickly..

The Don't Ask 70% bonus should be given to you look in the stats and graphs charts and see if it is given..

Population bonus worked as of 1.1 I believe, maybe 1.0x.009. I use it for my custom race, 10% from abilities 10% from political party. Easiest way to tell is compare your population to the other races. As for working, I love it. It allows me to get a couple of cash farms running much faster and can give a great early boost to my economy (not to mention that loading up troop transports don't damage my economy for as long).

I do not know if it is working properly but ever since I started using it I easily outgrow the other races at suicide level. It does seem to be worth the pick. If it is capped maybe you might want to just go with 30% and use the other points. Population is important in this game so it is a valuable pick.

More pop = more cash

I dont use racial points on pop growth bonus. Rather I wait for the AI to build the Aphrodisiac Trade Good (At higher levels the AI builds this rather quickly). Once I have got a reasonable cashflow, I simply buy the Trade good and get the pop growth bonus.

a word of warning, if you take a pop bonus, try and get a moral one too, otherwise they'll multiply too quickly for your morale tech too keep up
