Idle Population refers to the number of residents who are not employed in your City. They still contribute taxes and are needed to train new Troops.

If your Idle Population is negative, you don't have enough residents to support your resource production and Troops. This reduces your resource production and prevents you from training new Troops.

How Do I Increase Population?

• Build or Upgrade Homes: Increase your City's population limit.
• Lower Your Tax Rate: This attracts more residents, but population takes time to recover.
• Use Special Items: Items such as Fertile Winds can instantly increase your population.

To change your Tax Rate, open your Castle, select Overview, adjust the Tax Rate, and tap Change Tax Rate.

To adjust your taxes go to your Castle and tap on Overview Modify the Tax Rate and tap on the Change Tax Rate button.
