Whats the pattern on the new reputation per settler thing?

Whats the new limit for settlers? in the beggining you need 50 rep per settler to join. I think it changes to 100 at one point, how high does it go? i have 6000 rep now... so whats the limit for my max poppulation? and does it ever stop?

never stops, never has been a population limit. Only limiting factor is the number of building you can construct to house and employ them

I can tell you that dynasty reputation becomes the limiting factor for village growth. It requires you to level up dynasty reputation to recruit a new villager. My last 3 villagers cost, in order.....

19,000 total dynasty rep
20,000 total dynasty rep(1000 for a new villager)
22,500 total dynasty rep(2,500 for a new villager)
25,000 total dynasty rep(2,500 for a new villager)

So I have 3 empty houses waiting for my dynasty reputation to increase enough to recruit a new villager. Talk about grindy....this is absolutely horrible. Each season, there may be 100 dynasty rep available on the map if you do all the quests. It takes 3 years to grind out 2500 dynasty rep, at a minimum. There aren't anymore story quests to do. You might get lucky to have a kings challenge come up.

The end game takes the grind and makes it nearly impossible to grow your village. It absolutely sucks.
