1) Makes it sense if you drag a pop on Food-Production that it takes longer than before to grow a new pop...?

2) Vaulters starting postion on Auriga Map: Have ruin on hill top I cannot reach. Should be placed elsewhere!
See pics...
Thanks!

1) It does not take longer than before. In the first screenshot you are making -1 Food, so it’s actually 5 turns until you lose a pop.

2) That ruin is unfortunate, but you should be able to search it with a Flying unit. Which is a shame when you get a quest to search that particular ruin with a hero.

Thanks! Ah okay, if you have a negative food income the pop display means the time when you loose a pop. Confusing..it should be displayed in red to warn you.

Yes flying units. But sometimes it takes very long to get a flying one... Quest location should be reachable by feet everywhere. True!

Even that would be possible, in case you are lucky and get this flying hero: Eslek Tarosh

You can also put a city next to it and put your first district onto the cliff, as district tiles can act as "elevators".

The city overview screen (F2) has green/red up or down arrows as indicators. From memory I would have said part of the growth bar inside a city would be green or red as well, but it doesn’t look like it on your screenshots, so I seem to be misremembering.
