Question about population points

MantisFanatic · September 1, 2002, 01:37

It shows in the civ3 editor that each population point equals 8% defense (same for buildings). I was wondering if this is true. Nobody seems to incorporate this in combat calculations.

I think this is for bombardement only.
But I'm not sure on this one.

Can someone else clarify this please

According to the Civ3Edit Help:

"This value is used only to determine population losses during city bombardment."

If you want to find out what one of the variables in the editor does, you should probably use this Help thing. Just open it up and click on the "editing rules" link. Then click on the name of the page you want to look at. Then click on the relevant box, and a pop-up will come up telling you what it does (although it may not describe it in terms that actually tell you anything...).
