Everything was OK and then my population dropped from 220k to 0, I had to disband many troops and now I am somehow F@#§°. What did I do wrong??
What can I do better?

To maximise your pop, have your farms to town ratio of 3:1. Build one town for every 3 farms your build.

If you can cast weather summoning, then you need to build less farm for every one town. Depending on your spell level (and if you have high level sherpherdess) you could be building 2 farms for every one town or less.

Also, if you finished research, you don't really need guilds. Unless you wanna collect items :~). And you don't need that many workshops . If your population dropped to zero, that could be because you

1) were infected with black death
2) are a black mage and you overcasted your undead units which eaten up all your pop

Just be careful and make sure that you have a + pop income whenever you can! Hope that helps

Well I black mage can never live without wine of the three whips...

My rate is 659:332 and I only have an income of 101 population !!
I have no spell , unit upkeep that costs population !!!
Is this normal??? How much land do I need to cast mind ripper a single unit costs 3 population !!!!

when you are regaining your population it grows very slowly. i'd wait till you are gaining a couple thousand a turn just to be safe. but dont cast too many.

Like a suggest, just use wine of the three whips, it will give around 80K pop per item

err... that is wrong. If you have low population, use book of prophecy on a barless fat white mage. That will take about 10k pop (depends on the victim's pop). Use wine only if you have a reasonable pop because it gives u 10% of your current pop. So if you have 100 pop, using wine will only gives u 10 more people. No point really

Most of what q said seems to be right.  Also, you may destroy 1 barrack, 141 workshops.  Also guilds, you could prob do well at 500 for now (when you get more lands, you can build more guilds, for the higher you go, the more important items become).  so this can open up about 306 acres which you can use to build some farms and nodes.  I would recommend for you to cast weather summoning if it is availiable.  It has a low mana up keep and can save you alot of farms, allowing you to build some more nodes.  Also, when you have some additnal 100 acres open wether it be through attacking or explore (not recommended at this point) or compass (save it til to you past 3500 land (in my opinion)), then build some barriars.  It is alot easier for mages to win a battle when they're opponent has no barrs.   Barrs alone can determine victory or defeat.  Best to have barrs at around 2.6%.  That a way, if you do lose an defense, you have enough barrs for the next attackers.  
And yea it takes a while to regain population, and it would be better until to have reached a safe pop increase, other wise you'll lose everything again.  
Just some of my thoughts.
