====== Population ======


Different types of development attract different numbers of people.

**Urban**
For each 1bp spent on a Building(<sup>+</sup>) in a Town or City -  you attract about 100 people (*) to live in the town’s  hex.  Perhaps  only a quarter of them live in the city itself – the rest live in suburban   villages, hamlets and thorps within a few miles of the city walls.  They provide many of the resources (Food, firewood, Labour etc)  that you need to keep your town ticking over.

**Rural**
In the countryside people want to be spread out more -  each rural development or building (<sup>+</sup>) you develop attracts about 50 people (*) to the hex.  It doesn't matter if it is a Watchtower, Keep, Tavern, Road  House or Inn – it still only attracts about 50 people to the hex.

**Wilderness**
This is a bit more complicated -  But you attract about 10 people (*)  for every BP spent on a Defensive building (Watchtower, Camp, redoubt) and about 10 people for every other building in the hex.

(<sup>+</sup>) Except Civic or Religious buildings.\\
(*)  These are average numbers -  and could vary by as much as 10% each way.
