How can I increase my population?

You can increase your population by building Residential buildings. If you're running out of space, try unlocking more efficient buildings or replacing older ones.

1. Build Residential buildings: Residential buildings provide the primary source of population. Each one gives a specific amount of population and can be found in your building menu.

2. Unlock better options through research: Each age offers improved Residential buildings — some focus on producing coins, others on maximizing population. Always compare size and efficiency before upgrading.

3. Use Great Buildings that provide population: Some Great Buildings offer passive population boosts without taking up too much space, for example:

4. Benefit from Event Buildings: Many Event Buildings also offer population as part of their bonuses — often alongside coins, supplies, or other benefits. These are typically more space-efficient than standard Residential buildings and can be earned during events or acquired via selection kits.

Tip: If you're running out of space or want to optimize your city layout, consider using the Reconstruction Mode to rearrange your city more effectively.
