contents We show that a combination of collapsing and excessive growth from the fundamental group impedes the existence of Einstein metrics on several families of smooth four-manifolds. These include infrasolvmanifolds whose fundamental group is not virtually nilpotent, most elliptic surfaces of zero Euler characteristic, geometrizable manifolds with hyperbolic factor geometries in their geometric decomposition, and higher graph four-manifolds without purely negatively curved pieces.
