- What does "total population", "free population", "working population", "maximal population" mean?
- Total population consists of free population and working population.
- Free population is that part of your citizens that is available for new tasks.
- Working population is that part of your city's population whom some tasks have already been assigned to (such as building a new level of a building structure, performing a ritual, etc). Every time you assign to your citizens a new task, free population changes its status to working population.
- Maximal population is the maximal quantity available at each level of the Sun Temple (the Sun Temple is a building responsible for population growth). Each level of the Sun Temple has a pre-defined range within which population can grow; when the maximum is reached, a new level of the Sun Temple must be built so that your population can grow further.

- I need more citizens. Where do I get them from?
- Keep upgrading the Sun Temple, since each level allows accommodating more citizens.
- Research Mathematics: each new level of this research extends the limit up to which max. population can grow.

Corn is the food that your citizens consume in order to be able to work on various tasks you may assign them to. Consequently, the more people live in your city, the more corn they would consume. Note that working population consumes the double amount of Corn in comparison to the amount that free population consumes.
