[QUOTE="Conaill, post: 766905, member: 1264"] I think we should just post *all* the numbers in one place, including the ones we're not certain about yet (we can always mark those with an asterisk). It's useful to have some reference for the "average" city of this size. Then as we refine the demographics of Mor's End, we can update this list with the actual numbers we've decided on. Anyway, I have a list where I took the average between the numbers given by the "Medieval Demographics Made Easy" web site (based on pop size 10,200) and the "Magical Medieval Society" tables (based on a 7,000 adults). Most of the time the results from both are *very* close (typically within 1 from each other), so I guess I must be doing something right. ;) PS: we decided not to [i]specify[/i] gods, not to exclude them from consideration altogether. I agree we may want to reduce the number of clergy (say, by half?) to make sure they're not a significant force that we have to include at all levels of society. But you never know who's going to need the number of clergy, housewives and children at some point... PPS: I've already used the estimated number of beggers to calculate the size of the Squats in th geography thread. Check the map: if you want significantly fewer beggers than that, the Squats will be significantly smaller as well... [/QUOTE]
