I am out of the country and not able to play the alpha until returning. Could someone let me know if this much lusted after (by me at least) feature is being included\considered?
In GalCiv2 I would have loved to see people actually matter. No more farms and factories and labs running full tilt regardless of a 8bil population or a 38bil population. It would be nice if instead the farms/factories/labs/etc set the maximum limit of the planets output, with population playing a role in meeting the max. If you have a disproportionately large population on a planet, it would just max out your factories and it would be the same as before (with good defense and a nice tax farm). However, it would matter more when you go to make a production or a research world in a ‘safe’ area. 8bil people should not be enough to run a super planets worth of factories.
