How does one get more free population after the farm is maxed out at level 45?

There are a few options (if you haven't already done these by the time you get your farm to level 45).

1. Research Plow. +200 population. (Academy level 22, costs 4 research points.)
2. Build Thermal Baths. +10% population. (LHS special building, requires Senate level 24, Farm level 35, Harbour level 5).
3. Land Expansion tokens. Usually +100 for Land Expansion and +300 for Great Land Expansion, I think. (Only available from certain events or via packages bought with real money, although a single +50 population Land Expansion is available as part of the tutorial system.)


4. Demolishing buildings. Demolishing a building will free up the population that was required to build that level, so farms and warehouses do not free up population if demolished. Also, note that demolishing certain buildings below particular levels may prevent you from taking certain actions (such as building specific land/myth/naval units or building/upgrading certain buildings).

Personally, I would only advise demolishing a building if you really don't need it at that level.

kal is right except for #3... currently great land expansion is +100 per token and land expansion is +50 per token
(altho this may be server dependent but i think it's universal)
however, keep in mind that you are allowed to expand a max of 300 pop per city using these tokens

Kal has given you a great answer there.

Basically the pop is finite. Once you have built your city fully there is no more. However many players don't build optimum cities.

Your overall empire is more efficient if cities are specialised. So a bireme nuke, a ls nuke, DLU only etc. Having decided what each city will be there are ways to use pop efficiently. In particular assess whether you need the harbour/barracks. Naval cities do not need barracks so hold at level 5, troop cities do not need a harbour maxed out - look at what u have built to decide what you do need. Myths for example you can probably knock the harbour to level1. CS needs level 10 so if u are unsure keep that as your minimum level.

Senate has to be built to 24 to build thermal baths but after that you can knock it down at least to 21 ( this will enable you to build tower/merchant/statue and swap if needed for ww) or you can knock much further.

Resources are usually needed at max for ww but earlier in the game it depends on you. A bireme city for example does not need a max silver mine.

Thanks! I wasn't entirely sure what they were, as I haven't got any from events recently and I don't buy the packages. :)

np, kal, you were all good except the count
AND you may have been right at some time (never know with "rebalancing")

i don't buy either but a couple of the events have land expansion as the final prize
and the current one has both LE and GLE as possible recipes

Is there a way to reduce the number of soldiers to free up population? How does one lower the level of a building to regain population? Is there directions on how to accomplish either of these tasks?

1. You could try attacking the bandit camp if you have it on that island. You could also attack someone else (either an enemy or an alliance member depending on the situation) or have someone attack you (an alliance member). You would of course need to make arrangements if you plan on attacking someone in your alliance or have someone attack you.

2. For the demolition of a building, you need to be in the Senate window. In the top right corner, you should see two tabs... upgrade and demolition... If your senate is of a high enough level, you will be able to demolish buildings to regain population.
