About 98% of the population, yes. 100*(1-1/3)^10 percent of pop remains.

Mages still require gold, lots of gold. With pop reduced like that and the additional unrest, mages will be extremely expensive. The units that people still have still require upkeep, so nobody will be able to recruit anything anymore. And when finally enough units have deserted, which commanders like mages never do, then you will probably only make enough gold to recruit cheap units again instead of mages.

With 5 Armageddons population is down to 13%. With 6 it's down to 9%. And since Utterdark reduces income by 90% after this you will have 1.3% or 0.9% of start income. This will probably mean that nations without sacred troops will soon be without troops as they will desert.
