Population fail @ disco

[Tachyon]

My estimates for population:
Population of modern-day New York City: 8 million people.
Population of modern-day Earth: 7 billion (close enough)
Planet Manhattan (and many other Sirius capitals) has every square inch of land covered with cities (at least, that's what I read). An entire planet with the population density of a modern city- that's at least ten billion people on Manhattan alone.
Four House capitals (not inc. Gallia or Hispania) puts us into the region of fifty billion just for that.
Hundreds of planets, wildly varying population density- that's going into the trillions.

tl;dr version: Digital Anvil has no sense of scale.

+ How would Planets react ? I guess they would have massive problems with economy on most of the plantes, too. You are right, no sense of scale. It just sounds and looks better in some people's eyes.
