Hi, I am building a huge civilization here,
but my population seems to stop at 320 million and it won't get any bigger.

Is this a bug ?

Please let me know,

Yes, and a FAQ. :-)

The display of population stops at 320 million, but you continue to recieve
additional score for population beyond 320 million. In a game where population
is 80% of the final score, that would have been a serious bug, indeed, if the
total population were limited that much.

The counter stops but yhe population growth is still counted. When you
get to 1,000,m the counter will restart at 1. The same thing happens
in Future Tech but I don't know how the counter works there.

Food caravans from across the land, right? The largest I have gotten sans
caravans is high 30's.

change rules.txt to support each citizen with 1 food and crank up the food
from terrain types to 6 or so.

Actually, the trick is to have two cities each send food caravans to each other
every turn. When the caravan arrives, it makes the food stores increase. No
editing of rules.txt is needed. I'd think that changing the food production to
6 would just give the AI player an advantage anyway.
