Kindling Populants
In order to expand your population you will need to build settlements. Settlements produce Populants (Also known as Tribesmen) when their flags reach the top of their flagpoles. By default you will have the option to kindle populants out of their settlements before the settlement flags have reached the top of their flagpoles. The Kindle tool is located next to the pause button in the bottom left menu.

To use Kindle, first select the kindle tool (press 1 for keyboard shortcut) and then by either clicking on settlements with flags or left click / hold and dragging the mouse around over settlements, a populant will be produced. You can only do this with your own settlements. CPU players will also use this option to speed up their own population production. Each CPU tribe will have different speeds, Red tribe being the slowest, Yellow being moderate and Green being the most Kindle happy!

I don’t like kindling …
You can customise the Kindling option to have it disabled by changing it’s option in the Island Overview section. By disabling this option CPU player will also not be allowed to Kindle their populants. (See Island Overview for more information)
