Re: Population growth timer

I have been getting alot of questions About this. Many beginning bankers do not know how to pop..
A simple tool That shows the amount of tics needed to get to max could help beginning bankers.

Re: Population growth timer

I agree that it could be useful, and it's already been suggested.

But I also think, that if you're teaching a pop banker ...you should teach them properly wink  Pop banking isn't just about building LQs and TOs!

Re: Population growth timer

Oh, you did just fine!

Edit:  I do see a problem with your formula, now that I checked though tongue

It should be A2 = A1 * (1+ (5+5*Pop Bonus/100) / 100 )

Re: Population growth timer

I prefer [Current pop] * ((1+(.05*[race bonus]))^[ticks])

This way you can scale it easily.

Re: Population growth timer

That'll only give you Pop at a given tick though - unless you link [ticks] to a numbered column.

I usually just do Killas method ....but as I know base is 5% and My pop growth might be say, 10%, then:

= A1 * 1.055

Re: Population growth timer

who cares about pop growth?? it just grows and thats the only thing you need to know

why people tends to waste his time in useless things?  The time you get worried about formulas and how things work to the last detail, you stop having fun in the game.

Re: Population growth timer

Some people actually have fun with these kind of details.  Me included smile

And I used to love min/maxing everything.  I loved the intricate detail required.  But, a lot of that is lost now, cos people just "want to get on with the game".  Different people enjoy playing games differently smile
