You always want to have some IDLE population in Evony, Idle population is what is used to Create troops in your Barracks, each time you build army, the idle population drops depending on how many troops you build. Then every 6 minutes or so your population will rise back up until it reaches its full capacity depending on your cities loyalty and how many cottages you have built(and their lvls). I hope that helps.
