I feel like there is something I am not understanding. Is the only time you move tokens from the Pool to the City when you add a District (or increase its density)? That is the only place in the rules I see other than the Topping Out Phase at very end. If this is the case when making a Village or Town it is possible to end up with only a single District and thus only one Citizen Token on the map while having two or three Factions which all say they are supposed to draw their tokens from the City or another Faction note card, not the Growth Pool. If you don't randomly roll an Event that adds a district, every Event that changes a Faction's Power just slides the single Token around constantly. Can a Faction exist with no tokens? If not, does Rolling two Factions when you only have one District mean that one of the Factions is instantly removed? Or can relatively powerless Factions just exist and they just keep playing hot potato with the only Growth Token in play?

Aside from these questions I am loving this thus far, both as a single player game and a tool for designing places for games/fiction. Just a bit confused...
