City Population Limit

[Ruckers]

I have a pretty successful empire with around 30 cities, but they do not seem to grow to the size of some of competitors. London, my capital, is stuck on 4100 population but other cities my competitors have sometimes have 6-7000. Why is this? Any ideas? I have built all the upgrades I can so I am at a loss to why it wont grow anymore.

build more business, and make sure city get supplied, which means goods have to be available all the time. supply status does not need to be in green bar. also upgrade church and city planning in tech tree. the ultimate limit of a city size is 15000 or 16000, the exact number i dont remember.

The limit are:
* Without chapel: 3000
* With Chapel: 6000
* With Church: 12000
* With Church and tech town planning: 15000

Town grow only if there is work, so it is linked directly to the number of business in a town. To increase the population, you need to ensure enough work spaces. Each business inceases the population by 100 (25 worker + families).

So to reach 15000 population you need 150 businesses in a city (you can't have any more than that).

In your case London is stuck at a population of 4100, which means you have 41 businesses. Try building some more :)

And as the previous poster said, make sure it is supplied with at least all the basic stuff, especially food. If there are famines or other problems, no new workers will arrive. For prolonged issues, the population declines.
