Master of Magic pop growth too slow?

In Master of Magic, sluggish population growth can severely bottleneck your expansion and military production, leaving you vulnerable to aggressive AI opponents. This delay often turns the early game into a tedious waiting exercise rather than a strategic challenge. The Population Total modifier eliminates this frustration by allowing you to instantly boost your city populations to desired levels. By bypassing the natural growth limits, you gain immediate access to more workers, faster building construction, and larger armies without the usual wait times. This empowers you to focus on high-level strategy, spell research, and tactical combat instead of micromanaging food surplus. You will experience a more dynamic and engaging gameplay loop, where your empire thrives from the start, ensuring you have the manpower needed to dominate the realms of Arcanus and Myrror with confidence and ease.
