Just a screenshot:



As you can see it seems there is not such difference in terms of population between wild/rough territories and fertile/plain ones. Should not be much more limitation in harsh territories in term of food and population ? Or maybe this is already in place but I have not noticed it ?
I don't think. Just to make an example inside Italy, I have Umbria (mountains) that reached level 23, more than Naples and a bit less of other plain regions.

Workers assigned to food production in mountains and arid terrain already have reduced food output - you can see if you mouse over food workers in different terrains and compare the values. The food output of buildings isn't modified, but certain food-related buildings can't be build in those terrain types (e.g. no farms in arid terrain, no large farms in mountains).

More work on balancing required I suspect. I have seen similar results...it is still pretty easy to get large pops in dodgy terrain.

Did you start the game in 1.03?

In 1.04 then 1.05 some low pop regions should have a great difficulty booming like in 1.03

Hi Pocus,

that is a screenshot of a game started with 1.04.

By the way really congrats to you and your team for this game.
