Ok, done that...

I also remade the calculation of pollution...
Pollution probably is somewhat higher now but I really think
this approach both makes more sense and is closer to civ (II)
And I like pollution being more of an issue...
Might even help making fewer, better managed cities viable...
Actually, earlier there was like 20 'free' pollution per city...
That really did put more, smaller cities at an advantage...

Solar plant only:

Well, read the filename... :)

Maybe pollution from population should be one notch lower...
Like 0.5 and 1 instead of 1 and 2...
Maybe, I don't think so though... :)
