Is it possible (and would it be wise) to have components, end products and civil services have a decreasing effect on population growth based on the population at a city?

For example - Since components only start climbing at 2 Mil, could they also start of with say only a 50% effect on the population at 2 Mil, rising to 100% at 4 Mil. Likewise with End products having 50% effect at 3Mil up to 100% at 6 Mil and Civil services at 5 and 10 Mil. On the flipside, once a city drops below 2.5Mil (half of 5), Civil services would have 0 effect on population decline. Likewise with End products at 1.5 and Components at 1.

This would mean that, during growth they are less important, and also importantly in a crashing city, they eventually become less important. A city with 1 mill population thats still declining hard because there isnt enough Adult Toys is a bit silly.
A city could still crash without the raw materials, but it makes it a whole lot easier to save a city, and stabilizes the growth of a city without affecting the actual end population or profits.

That would be tricky, Already if the population is low, the end products go up very slowly and will not exceed 200. And when the population falls below 5 mil again, the demand on end products starts to fall , not increase until it hits 200.

You realise this is the first time you have actually stated this? It is GREAT to know and it explains quite a few things that were really not adding up with supply, demand and city growth.

Thanks for sharing!

He said that before. http://forum.baronsofthegalaxy.com/topic2701-regarding-demand-in-cities.aspx#post5738
And if you look at the end of the thread, you will notice that you were there.
