Hi everyone, I'm new here, can someone explain how the pop's system will work?
I hope we don't have to micromanage pop's, it's pretty boring...
Sorry my poor english.
By the way, I'm sure that I will love this game

Welcome to the forum!
The pop system is still under guarded secret, sorry. The game is still some months away, so we can't give you details... only generalities: there will be population, with a breakdown in social classes and some others parameters, but there is no real micro-management and the population system is much easier to handle than the one of the game you have in mind.
Another Information.

Awesome!
I had no idea there was going to be POPs in the first place...

Do note that Pocus is talking about the
population system; not POPs in the way that people understand that term

Oh right. Cheers for clarifying!

IIRC it stands for
Part
Of
Population, and it is an abstract concept employed in the Paradox title
Victoria.

That's true xD.. In my opinion the
POP's System in the other game consumes the player precious time.
So, I would enjoy if my CPU could do that for me
...
Sorry for my english

All I can say, and this is obscure on purpose (haha) is that we tried to aim for the best of both worlds, i.e details but no micro-management, when dealing with population.
