Just one thing: The growing foodbox makes perfect sense if you consider 
that one unit of population isn't always the same number of people.
A size one city consists of 10.000 people, a size 7 city of 280.000 people.

So I think we should take into account those population numbers. I don't 
know how yet but this could perhaps be another attempt to stop smallpox.
