When I looked at it, m seemed to range from about 50 to about 300, but I
didn't look into what the actual full range would be.

Pollution only happens within a city radius.

Except for pollution caused by being nuked.  However, I don't want the AIs
to aggressively clean-up nuke pollution: a friend pointed out that making
the AIs clean up nuke pollution makes nuking them a great way of wasting
their Settlers/Engineers.  I don't want to make nukes attractive to use, so
I'm thinking of adding a different kind of pollution, S_FALLOUT, that acts
just like S_POLLUTION in game terms, but that the AI doesn't aggressively
clean-up.
