Population Growth (?)

[supahpunch]

First off, I want to say that I enjoy this game immensely. Sure, there are many things that still needs work and optimization but the game is enjoyable and I've always had a soft spot for city builders.

Anyway, will there be a way to control/slow down the population growth/recruitment from the town center? As other players pointed out, errors and shenanigans with pathing/resource gathering tend to occur when the population size exceeds 60. I noticed that the town center produce new townies/villagers at very fast rate. Are there any parameters that determine how fast you get new villagers? I always end up with more than 10 people unemployed (and thus stressed from taxes) even after JUST creating new jobs.

We tried to remove/destroy the town center to maintain the population we currently have (180+), but doing so only resulted in more problems (i.e. the game crashing during outlaw raids).

hello hello!

there is currently an employment bug that we're looking into and should hopefully have fixed soon that will resolve that bit of having unemployed citizens! otherwise I'll talk to the rest about adding a pause option to the Townhall so people can pause citizen spawning!
