no one moving into my city

[v_]

is it a bug? no new people are moving into my city

I think it was a thing back in the original game too. Make sure people are happy, if not it will take some time before anyone decides to come live in your city. Check taxes, if people didn't die from malaria etc.

It should help.

Maybe your wages are too low (press "0" to see the window), that's a very hidden reason for no immigration.

Same issue here, in my game i noticed this happen just after increasing taxations, but when i try to decrease it, it didn't solve imigration porblem
Maybe a bug?

Hey, I had the same problem and the game doesn't tell you but if you go into the page of the “Main Overseer” you can find informations about immigration. Sometimes it hast to do with taxes but even if you lower them at can take ages until it take effect
Another factor seems to be mood and I had some problems in the early missions when the game is still handholdy and you aren't able to built everything. Sometimes you just start with a bad mood, nobody comes to your city, so no workers and no taxes and therefore no income or trading. Just take it slow and start with smaller taxes and expend slow and evenly

In the Salima scenario had to put taxes to 0%, otherwise noone was inmigrating.

High unemployment+ any taxes will nuke your city's immigration rating, you can reduce the effect by getting more of your workforce jobs or by lowering the tax rate, it can be a bit frustrating to keep employment in the perfect zone of 0-10% but if you don't then it will be much harder to attract new people.

I just had the same issue. I saved and reload and it worked just fine, they all came as one

No it just takes a long time to fix from what I can tell.

I had the same issue, it wasn't taxes that fixed it for me, it was increasing my wages

[d'm0n]

Same proble, I just increased the wages of 1% and it got solved

To summarize of bit what have been said :

- Check your Main overseer window (last sentence at the bottom is most of the time the key) for your population status

- Taxes too high : people will at first stop coming to your city, then will suddenly leave. Even if you lower it, it takes month before they come back. A good solution is to always start with 1%, and go up little by little until you reach the point where the population is not happy. Keep in mind taxes always must be under global wages. Keep in mind that even if you don't put any taxes offices, as soon as you build your palace, taxes rates will be taken into account.

- Wages under kingdom average : if you city does not pay enough workers, you generally receive notifications about global kingdom wage increase/decrease, you will start loosing workforce, then at some point people will start leaving your city, and like taxes, it takes months before they came back.

- Also, I can be a lot of other reasons (lack of food, too much criminality, health care outrageously low...), but everything will be pointed in the overseers.

Hope this helps.

To add to this good list

- if you have a personal palace you also should reduce your income by one notch.

the overseer won't tell you everything. lowering the tax would work but there are other factors; like salaries; entertainement; religion; poverty, kingdom reputation...

It probably works like in the original pharao, where your city has an immigration standing. This crashes with high unemployment. The best thing you can do is to set taxes to 0% until the standing is positive again. Destroy housing until there is only about 5% unemployment or less left.
