Hi, I apologize if this was posted before. Is there a chart to show population gained per level? I am 40 - 56. Pop is 1.9. Cap is 56. What is the best way to get to 60? Level up from 40, or level up the 50’s? ---

Ok I’m just talking about my account. Before anyone chirps in. And trys to be smart . I’ve a population of 3.1 mill Iv left 1 of each colour low 40s. The others iv one of each colour at 60. And I’m evening the others out. They’ve made it so you can’t concentrate on 1 of each colour and keep maxing. You have to try and raise each kingdom equally. ---

It makes sense, but why do we not see that pop gain before upgrading? It should not be hidden. So, focus upgraded 50 - 56 or 40 - 50. Its the same cost to level 40 - 41 vs 50 - 51. Granted, I left armor at 40’s vs magic, attack, life in that order. I have not spent my rainbow crystals yet. ---

Hey trying to work out any of the decisions, these Devs make. Is impossible. But there toilet water does rotate anti clockwise. So maybe that’s the problem 😂 ---

No more. The higher you go in kingdom levels the more population each subsequent level gives. Ie. Focus on your highest level kingdom and max it. Then get all others that are close to that max. A new max will open up when you have enough population. Then rinse and repeat ---

Before that I’d bring all kingdoms up to 50, then proceed as described. ---

I am finding the population limits to be very frustrating. When a level up happens, expected population gain should show. Also, what is needed for the next population gain should be shown. Also, the cost to level 40 to 50 should be way less than 50 - 60. You population gain is basically meaningless. Just some feedback on someone who spent 160 books less than a week before the announcement of changes. Yes I was shafted.
