>Reikland, most populous province of the Empire and seat of its capital, has a population of 147,577
>The entire Empire, roughly 50% larger than the historic Holy Roman Empire (population 15 million+) has a combined population of about 400,000

>>95974781 (OP)
Expecting population records to be accurate when modern population census records are hilariously incorrect.

>>95974781 (OP)
it might be doing a vicky2 type thing where the population is only counting working age males

>>95975169
Even later books happily contradict the population figures.

>>95974781 (OP)
The Holy Roman Empire isn't filled with armies of beastmen, orcs, goblins, ogres, trolls, undead, and the occasional giant or dragon, nor did it have to contend with the god of die-by-aids either. Whole portions of the Empire are uninhabited by it's human population. And for good reason. The Empire stands not because of it's size populations, but because of the strength, endurance, and tenacity of it's people. People often make a note how the harsh conditions of the north make the Norscan tough, but people don't realize that the Empire is also rendered tough by its struggles.

What kind of an autist do you have to be to give a shit about population numbers in fucking Warhammer?

>>95975868
If your goal is to farm (you)s by bitching about wahammer, not much actually. OP has a different flavor of retardation for that.

>>95975868
Anon, we're nerds. We play with plastic dolls. You honestly can't act surprised that some of the people here get caught up on the little things.

Have you considered playing ACKS, where population has a tangible effect on gameplay? It affects market size, item availability, the types of NPCs for hire, and how likely they're to be raided, and so on.

Warhammer lore is retarded and is only given second thought, this is news to me.

>>95974781 (OP)
Altdorf has a population of a million in recent books and the gazetteer obviously isn't comprehensive, there are way more settlements than that.
Those facts on their own make this whole thread pointless.

>>95976023
>Have you considered playing ACKS, which pretends population matters at all, while in reality it's 50 pages of rules that nobody ever playtested and actually undervalue everything when used
ftfy
Plus what >>95976099 said - let's now roll more than 30 buckets of dice for a 5% deviation from the most likely outcome on the bell curve

>>95981203
Oh, hey fishfag, fancy seeing you seething here.
Then again I suppose ACKS was mentioned so of course you're here.

>>95974781 (OP)

>>95976023
that shit is unplayable unless you're the type to masturbate to excel sheets, I guess.

>>95974781 (OP)
How did this topic impact your last gaming session?

>>95989436
Why did you bump this dying thread to say that? If this isn't some deranged psyop scheme then you're genuinely just fucking retarded.

(It's not worth trying to justify warhammer's population numbers because they were flawed at inception, but in general they are important for how you depict the world. WFRP 1e had a whole appendix in the core book devoted to settlement patterns. So piss off.)

>>95974781 (OP)
>population of about 400,000
it's higher if you count beastmen, mutants, skaven etc living in same place

>>95976023
God what a fucking awful game.The only people who could enjoy it are soulless husks, like accountants who masturbate to spreadsheets.

>>95974781 (OP)
Is this babies first encounter with non fiction authors not into scaling? Ignore the retardedness and extrapolate your own for your games

>>95990424
the bumping of bad threads will continue until morale improves.

>>95975823
My favourite genre of people like OP sperging about shit that doesn't matter is when someone actually explains it within the first few replies and then people start arguing about ACKS instead
