Overview[]

Population is your most needed Resource, without it you will not be able to advance in the Military & Industry sector of the game.

Population is represented by two numbers, on the lower left of the game screen.

The left hand number shows your current population, while the right hand number is your current population limit. The population limit can not be exceeded. Your actual population can only be increased by building Houses. To increase your max population you need to build Government buildings. The government buildings will also need to be fully Staffed (and then completed by pressing the "build" button) to raise the population limit.

Expanding your population will allow you to unlock greater in game features such as the Hangar III & the Ore Mine III.
