I wish I had some ongoing CivII game where I could draw numbers to compare
to yours. Anyway, I'm fairly sure that's not how it worked out in the harder
difficulty levels of the game. There was a distance where corruption
swallowed up everything the city produced.

I remember trade dissapeared (arrows blackened) still earlier (due to
corruption) than production (darkened shields) (due to waste) so that cities
far enough got unhappiness problems but where able to support some units,
and the farthest cities got revolts from the start and were unable to
support anything.

This was a fairly though handicap for ICS.

Hope this helps.
