Those new citizens can work production and gold tiles to build and pay for buildings such as Granaries and Lighthouses that themselves produce more food or increase food production of certain tiles.

Jul 13, 2013 at 22:16 comment added bgalin Yes, your city will starve. It takes two food units to support one citizen, and surplus food builds towards creating a new citizen. The amount of surplus you need is preset. You can read more about it on this page.
