Well after takeing the cities I've allready thought of (ie placed on a map) I just started giveing populations to them (rounded to the nearset thousand) and I came up with 2,191,000 and that's with makeing Pirkash's population 1.2 million. So if I was going to do 6 million I need to either make a lot more cities or rase the populations of a LOT of them (only 2 other cities have populations in the hundred of thousands, one at 200,000 and one at 500,000).
I still need to populate the deserts and take accout for all the small villages and farmers that I'm not going to bother listing as well as add the military. But thats probaly only going to be another 500,000-600,000. So that would put me at about 2.7 million. I would like to have between 4-5 million if I can get away with it. I'll probaly have to populate the northern desert (by the coast) which I wasn't realy plannig on doing.
Has any one else thought up populations for their counties yet? Dont think I remember reading any in Kije's write-ups yet.
