* Obtain 50 Books and 20 Wines.  It can be done with less, but don't take risks.  If you have extras afterwards you can sell them or save them for later use, but if you don't have enough then everything is wasted.

*  Make sure you have enough farms and towns to support at least 350k pop.  [[Weather Summoning]] helps; it is like having extra farms.
 
−
* When you're ready, get favor from Nature god.  If green, also cast [[Nature's Favor]].
 
−
* Use books until you have at least 150k pop, though more is fine.  Then use wines to get back the rest.  Pillaging can help at the end if you run out of wines.  By 350k, your pop will begin to increase on its own

* If you wish use any pop eaters, make sure your population has returned to its maximum first.

"Recovery started with 44 BoP and 20 wines. Used all 44 books, got like ...150k pop, and then used 8 wines. I'm on 350k pop now. I'm safe, for now. Edited in for clarification. Books gave me around 8k pop each." - [[User:t3h_flamee]]

As a white mage with LA 5 and Nature favor, I used 40 books and got to 219k pop, just enough for positive pop income.  Then I topped off with a few wines.  I could have done it with only 30 books and a few wines,  I think.  [[User:Carltsai|Carltsai]] 15:34, 7 September 2008 (CEST)
