Status: offline 		Has anyone else stumbled to situation where 100k lvl 4 city captured from religious fanatic major suddenly started to get 5-8k emigrants from my two other cities. The city is literally pile of rubble with all buildings under repairs before reaching even minor working order and no quality of life to speak of and has massive threat and unrest ratings and still ppl want to move there in droves.

This has drained my two working cities to point where I had to halt all worker&army recruiting to not run to massive pop -5k pop drains for multiple turns. My other cities were lvl2 with 85k pop and lvl3 (capital) with 100k ish and both had QOL 45ish while the fresh conquered city is below 10 QOL.

And if someone has faced this how did you stop it? Need halp nao!

P.S.1.

I ended up abandoning that game as 1.4 came up. Now playing on 1.4beta1 so if I stumble upon this I try and remember to take pictars for the nonbeliever heretics to watch when my men tie them up on top of pyre to purge their heresy of doubting my words!

Status: offline 		Yeah, I've seen the exact same thing. As soon as I conquer a city, people flock to it and it drains my capital of its workforce. I don't know why they would want to go live there as there's no public or private jobs there, nor are the living standards as good as in the capital.

It's kind of a bummer since when the capital gets starved of its manpower the QoL actually diminishes due to the private assets shutting down.

Status: offline 		i noticed this only happens when conquering major regime cities and that your population only migrate to another city if there is job opportunity there.

i think what is happening is that the new city has many public assets, specially domed farms that needs lots of workers, and since you have 0 workers there and lots of workers needed your population goes "oh there is jobs to be had there" regardless if the city has surplus private population to man everything or not. and since your worker recruitment is slowed in such cities it keeps going for many turns, until you workers jobs are filled or nearly filled.

There probably should be a cap on that migration, it makes no sense that all your cities get depopulated each time you make a conquest.

I never had that issue. Why do you keep having that issue?

If you are experiencing big issues in retaining workers it's probably due to happiness issues more than a new city being conquered.

It's really weird indeed. I think it may have to do with income taxes? And they maybe not wanting to pay it (Unincorporated zones do not pay income taxes).
So I've set those zones to regular sooner, but then while playing other things grabbed my attention and I didn't keep a close eye on whether that fixed it.

Btw it's NOT just when you have jobs there. It just happens without any jobs available there.

Status: offline 		Happened to me each time in my two advanced games, I tend to play slowly so I don't have many of these under my belt yet but each time I've had this issue, right now the capital I conquered from a neighbouring major is draining people from cities all over the world with something like 2k emigrating from another Major I don't have a freedom of movement accord with and 8500 from the nearest other city.

Pretty weird happenstance.
Can't post links yet otherwise I would have included a screenshot, hanging onto the image for when I can.

If it was that, everyone would see it. As I said, I have no idea what you are even talking about. The only relevant migrations happened due to massive worker/private worker shortages. As in "the private economy is paying 7 miliCredits for each private worker" shortage.

That's odd indeed. Well, unless you're still in the early game, it doesn't happen much then. But from turn 90-ish onward for sure.

Though it may be the alure of it being unincorperated and there is no taxes.

Ideally include a overview of the assets and the privte economy.

To answer your question for me personally: no one ever asked me for an image.

First you would need 6 more posts.
10 posts + 7 days since you reached 10 posts.

You could use 3rd party image hosting options in the meantime. Actually a good way to get around the "1 file, <200 KiB per post" limit.
