Odd population Cap

from GalCiv2 Forums

 

   I play as Drath Region. Tough. ToA v1.96

   When I colonized the second habitalbe planet in the original system, I got ethical alignment event and choosed "good" decision which give me negative planet value.

    Initial usable tile went from 4 to 3.

    And after a while, I've came to realize that that planet population growth stopped at 1.29b inspite the fact that planet support 8b. They never increase more than that.

    Maybe its a new glitch. Hope you will fix this.

Low PQ planets have a population growth cap. You can ferry more people onto the planet, but the planet won't grow above that level by itself.

 

This is not new to the game, it's been around for a while.

Yeah, it's a bit of a bugger. Incidentally, unless you're rigorously playing in character I'd take the neutral or evil pick in this event, as it's one of the nastiest ethical choices. If you're a good race such as the Drath or the Altarians you'll normally have the ethics points to absorb a few acts of gratuitous malice in the name of PQ. That said, the Altarians, Drath and Arceans now have projects to offset low/reduced PQ, which is handy...
