Population Bonus

from GalCiv2 Forums
Does the population bonus or penalty you get from random events actually do anything? Is it actually meant to be a growth rate effect, and not a cap effect? The way it reads, I'd expect my colony to have a cap greater (or less than) 6b. If it actually is applied to the growth rate, it needs to be clearer. If that is the case, I'll assume it's working.

As far as I know it's the growth rate not the cap, that always seemed clear to me but I haven't actually checked the growth rate does increase but the cap doesn't. Why do you find it so unclear?

Because it says '+ 28% Population', not '+28% Population Growth', and all the events are about the amount of space you have on the planet. Given the problems large populations cause, the growth bonus is much better.

Really, sorry then I remembered it saying Population Growth, my bad.
