During the game some special events can occur. One of them is '''month of'''. This is when several stacks of particular creature appear on map. Also population of the creature in town, where is dwelling of the creature, doubles. Other event which has impact on growth of creatures is '''month of plague'''. It causes that every remaining population in town dwellings since previous week is being halved unless there is [[Horde Building|horde building]] (f.e. [[Sculptor's Wings]]) built. No other population grows in that week. Also [[Wandering Creatures|wandering stacks]] are not being halved. Plague occurs ONLY on the first day of month so it's better to recruit all creatures in week 4 on day 7. Also '''week of''' can occur. It means that population of particular creature is risen by 5 in that week. After constructing of [[Deity of Fire]] in [[Inferno]] town is every week the Week of [[Imp]] and growth of [[Imp]]s and [[Familiar]]s is risen by 15. None of these affects [[External Dwelling]]s.
There are two types of special events that can affect the growth: special week and special month. Special weeks can occur at the first day of the week.

Growth for wandering stacks is risen up by 10% a week. If stack begins with 15 creatures then next week the number is 15+10%=16.5 (displaying 16). In week 3, it goes like this: 16.5+10%=18.15 (displaying 18) In week 4: 18.15+10%=19.965 (displaying 19) and so on...
Another possibility is a special month, which can only occur on the firs day of the month. This doubles the specific creature population in appropriate towns.

Growth (also creature growth) typically refers to an increase in creature dwellings in towns, which occurs at the beginning of each week. The growth depends on several factors, but the main one is the level of the creatures. For creatures of levels five to seven the so called basic growth rate in towns are three, two and one. For creatures of levels one to four, the growth depends on town type.

Growth happens at the beginning of each week, and the new recruits are added (if any are left) to troops already available in the town. However, the population in external dwellings can not exceed the number of basic growth rate. This means, that if no troops were hired from the external dwelling, they will remain there which causes "losses". Additionally, In The Wake of Gods mod this behavior can be changed with a special ERM script.

The growth explained

Citadel and castle affect only to the basic growth rate: citadel by 50% and castle by 100%. All town types have horde buildings which can significantly increase the basic growth rate. Additionally, every flagged external dwelling increase the rate of same creature type and level by one in appropriate towns. For example, basic growth rate of dwarwes is 8. A player has a miners' guild (increases the production of dwarves by 4) and one external dwarf dwelling (dwarf cottage). This would mean, that in a rampart town with or without fort would produce 13 dwarves (8+4+1). If the town had castle, the growth would be 21 ((2x8)+4+1). Additionally parts of legion (e.g Head of Legion) and Statue of Legion can affect the growth.

Special events

There are two types of special events that can affect the growth: special week and special month. Special weeks can occur at the first day of the week. It means that population of particular creature is grown by 5 in that week. A special effect of Deity of Fire – the grail building of inferno – is that every week is The Week of Imp, and population of Imps and/or Familiars are grown by 15. None of these weeks affect the external dwellings.

Another possibility is a special month, which can only occur on the firs day of the month. This doubles the specific creature population in appropriate towns. A special case for months is month of plague. Plague halves all the creature populations in dwellings except dwellings with horde building (e.g. [[sculptor's wings). Also, no growth occurs during the week plague is announced. Plague can occur only on the first day of month.

In the Restoration of Erathia the growth of following creatures may be doubled:

In Shadow of Death the growth of following creatures may be doubled:
