Lo-Fi Games

So all the towns in the game eventually become empty. I tried save/reloading and restarting. I tried going to another town and coming back. I started a new game, all my towns were full, after some traveling/fighting etc, one by one the towns empty out. The map says there's population, and population growth, but I haven't seen anyone comeback/spawn in them.

Oh I should also mention this takes maybe an 30min-1hr before the towns are empty.

i have the same issue except it took 5 hours of game play for it to happen i was on day 40. i did notice a small group of bandits sitting at the gate *2 or 3* but even a large group doesn't seem to be enough to kill the guards at the front gate so either they started wandering off and the bandits went in and killed everyone or the population simply dropped off the map and the bandits really like hanging out there.

Do you both have the latest version 0.58.5? If so, try importing to a new game. If you still find ghost towns after this, could you attach your save files so we can take a look?
