That's correct.  You need to use martial law unless you set the luxury rate 
sky high.

Actually, it is still possible to produce only settlers with unhappysize=1 
under Republic if you set the luxury rate high enough.  That's why the small 
pox strategy still works even if you set empire_size_inc to 1.
I just had another idea: how about making it an option to adjust the 
distance allowed between cities.  It used to be 0 as in Civ1.  Now it's 1 as 
in Civ2.  If it is possible to set it to 3, I suspect that smallpox will be 
much less useful.  Of course, this should be  just an option, so people who 
want to stick to their old playing style still have the choice.
