Still seeing odd things with population

[ErasmusCrow]

as of this morning my population is 6813/6810.

I have a screen shot just not sure how to attach it to the devs or even post it here.

Hi Erasmus,

You'll need to upload the screenshot to either Photobucket or Imgur and copy the image URL.

Then, open a new reply and click on the Insert Image link in the toolbar. Past the image URL there and it should embed into your post.

This is ABSOLUTELY maddening!!!!

As I reported on this thread I am seeing excess population leaking in. As I reporting on 4/4/14 I was seeing 6813/6810, I even did a screenshot and mailed it to the devs. I was a good boy.

Redacted. Cannot repost emails from Support or moderators, as per the Code of Conduct

So I ran an adventure and I reset to 6810/6810, this was on 4/5/14.

Things seemed ok once more.

Now as I have told the devs I do not have any skills on my geos that will find one extra mine, so I am not having an issue from that with the amount of active mines changing. Yet by Sunday 4/6/14 I once again had one more settler then I should. So I figured maybe I just slipped when I was replacing lost units from and adventure. I popped this extra guy into the barracks and I had my Unemployed Settlers at 0 once more.

I turned in last night with everything rebuilt, nothing missing, and 0 Unemployed Settlers.

This morning I wake up, fire up the game ... and I have 2 Unemployed Settlers, I am 6810/6810. OK, so I have two things down that need a settler. I scan my map, and I find I have exactly one Iron Mine depleted.

I have an extra settler once more!!!

Are the devs awake? I mean, seriously, do they really have a clue?

I like this game but I ceased buying gems ages ago because of issues. You can try and entice me with 3x sales but I won't budge until I see some kind of REAL attempt to fix this buggy as all hell game.

Thank you for letting me vent, now will a dev ACTUALLY respond to this thread and address this issue. I am not wasting my time with tickets anymore as that never amounts to squat.

My last bit of steam on this as I surrender to the broken bits.

Since the Easter Event started I have added 3 floating residences, pop moved from 6810 to 6990.

I have run over 10 adventures in this time as well.

Last night I turned in and had 0 Unemployed Settlers.

over the hours I had 1 well, 1 copper mine and 1 iron mine deplete.

I woke up this morning to 6993/6990.

When the 3/15/2014 patch kicked in and the issue with invisible population was addressed I was fine with it. A problem had been identified and fixed. As I plan in this game for the long haul the sudden need to adjust my population was irksome, I had to spend resources for Nobles I had not planned for to compensate for the patch fix. This of course caused me to have to reschedule my other plans as I was spending resources on something I did not anticipate. Yet it was ok, the game was being fixed I told myself and I would not have to do this again.

This time I have reported it clearly, I have sent in a ticket, I have received the standard pat response, but I have still to hear from anyone who is actually looking at the issue. When the dev's suddenly have to patch again, to fix their fix, I think this time around everyone in the game should be sent residences for free to correct the issue as there is nothing coming from anywhere that indicates the problem is being looked at. I know, its a wish, and it won't happen, but if and when it does get addressed and once more I have to adjust for 200 or so invisible pop, it will be time to consider if this is a place to come too anymore.

First off I do want to note that someone I assume is on the Dev team did get back to me and I appreciate the efforts. I was asked to submit some data which I did and I also took all the steps outlined in their reply.

I came home from work today, before leaving I was 7090/7090 and 0 Unemployed Settlers. I am now at 7098/7090. So I have had more additions to the family! I had 2 wells down, 1 iron mine and 1 coal mine.

I have no idea if anyone is following this thread but I will keep it updated as things change.

As of this morning, 4/23/2014 ...

I am 7129/7120.

I have 5 Unemployed Settlers.

I have 3 Floating Res that will upgrade to level 5 in a few days (they are at 44% now).

It seems that my inviso pop is growing.

[ErasmusCrow]

I have been quiet for weeks now on this matter but this morning I am 1876/1870 and I do not have the pop to run mines.

I have resent a ticket, I am tired of getting screen shots, I have done everything asked ...

AND NO FIX, NO REPLY!

I am losing a lot of interest in this game as no matter how I plan and arrange the game messes me up and forces me to spend resources that I am depleting at a rapid rate.

[ErasmusCrow]

well, I got a reply. I won't post it here as it will get pulled ...

in effect the fix is keep growing housing or run adventures.

I think the devs have given up on this game.
