I don't reckon 450 years of really shitty pop growth (this is medieval we're talking about) in backwater Africa gets your population from 180k to 3,8 million.

An estimate of approximately 500-600k would be more fair. 3,8 million is too much of a distortion it's not even remotely acceptable. Sidewinder saying "slightly" is to take it lightly. No nation ever recorded a 20-fold population growth in 450 years, especially not in the middle ages and not in the backwater zone known as Africa.

With the nerfing of your population, any variable related to manpower will also have to be reduced, that includes military. Do note that military can only mostly comprise at around 1-2% of your pop without putting a strain on your economy.

At the last, I don't reckon "metropolitan" is a concept in 1100s Africa just yet. Doing individual cities then dumping the rest into "rural areas" would've been much easier.
