To clarify, the population number you are looking at means "available free population", not "total population". To see your total population, look in your storehouse or tavern.

there is a huge gap in my population, between what i should have and what is avaliable.
i have full farm and well, army of 100, now i can't build my obelisk to max level. and i don't have much walls as well.

mikha, to max out a OB (Obelisk) you really need absolutely no registered troops in that town and hardly any built buildings. You have to sacrifice some things to get a maxed OB but can be done.

i know that crimson, i have now zero registered, but i am 400 short, not just 50-60 like what building would cost.
samll correction it is fountain of glory sorry for my mistake.

a maxed fountain takes up 7,200 population. A town can only provide 7,650 population, an 450 population window to build other things which is not much. Compared to an OB which takes up 6,890 population, its much harder to achieve but is still possible.

(:s28:)thank you for your reply,
but the fact is in a city that has no troops, just basic buildings.
and i have a gap of population of more than 300, doesn't make sense.
i think there is a ctlitch there!(:s28:)

If it really is a glitch, then a ticket to support would be the right thing to do.

But let's take a look at the numbers first:

Do you really have the maximum population of 7,650? That would mean 20 level 10 farms, a well and the support of 50 population by the castle.

Are there really no troops registered in the town where you want to upgrade your fountain to level 5?

The two things above can be checked by clicking on the population symbol, see:
http://www.1100ad.com/wiki/images/7/79/6_resource_types.jpg

And then you need to demolish stables, workshops and barracks.... and decide what buildings you need as there is very few spare population, like crimson pointed out.
There is almost no space for any walls at all, so...

... That might be too much already.

thank i think i will have to write a ticket then.
the thing the gap in population is way much (300) more than simple buildings;
A 10 population for each of baracks, stables, libary and a workshop (=40).
plus, 20 for each of castle, market, resourse X 5 and a storehouse (=160).
plus, 5 for each tavern and temple (=10)
all that is almost only the half of what a well provide.

now 20X360 from population=7200 and -4800: Fountain of Glory [4] (=2600)
i only have 2000.
there is a problem but i can't find it.

therefor, my point is all buildings will not raise enough population, to fill the gap in population.

however there is something i don't understand (:s31:)-500: sent off by contract [training] (:s31:)what is that?(:s28:)

Those should be mercenary points that you give your lord or order master by contract.
I don't know any case of population being handed over like this. (:s31:)

then i don't know where is the population loss.
how do i write a ticket?
