One of the techs at the academy I really like is political science, since it makes gaining influence so much easier. yet I think it would both be nice, and rather helpful if we altered it to where it also increased population gain through building up ports as well.
maybe something like,
each level gives a 1% increase or the like along with the influence bonus.
on the list of things id like to see added, this is pretty low, and I wont mind if it doesn't get added, but I think it would be a nice addition.

As a someone who really likes this tech and have it researched I like this idea and it will get +1

Now I'll sit and wait those -1 comments with explanation it's pirates glory and not merchants glory... only meerchants will profit from it...

I like this too, Meliva. The increased influence is nice, but an increase in port population growth would go nicely along with it.

+1

1% can be a lot though, but it might not be in some cases.

If the population is 100 million, it adds 1 million a day ( One TI ) .

If the population is a billion it adds 10 M a day.

Maybe 0.5? But I am just rambling so +1

Oh, I don't think it would work like that, Nelson. I think a 1% increase would mean that when you choose "build up port", the population increase resulting from your investment is increased by 1%. Is that not what you meant, Meliva?

As I said I could just be rambling.

I do not understand most things, I still do not understand Avenge ability

You are right haron it will depend on your investment... or at least that's how I understood it

The Political Science only comes in when spending gold to build up influence, so yes, the increase in population would also only come in how many people come to the port.

+1

I like the idea as well. And since there is not a lot of people that come (I believe it is just under 1% if my memory serves me right), then a small bonus to that would be very nice.

+1 Good idea Mel!

yes that is what I meant. say you invest 100K gold in a port, it increases by 980 population at the moment. but with this change, it would increase it by 1% per level. so level 1 would be 990.
this would have no change in transport immigrants.
