[Freeciv-Dev] civ3's answer to smallpox

[Patrice LaFlamme <ewd@xxxxxxxxxx>]

There's a preview article about civ3 here:

on page 3,

"This is important, because you have to 
put one population point into building a Worker; Settlers now cost two. "There 
was a problem that we heard about called 'infinite city sprawl,'" explains 
Briggs, 
"where players build thousands of one population cities, and it's actually more 
efficient to build a bunch of one population cities than it is to build fewer 
cities 
with the same total population. So we've combated that by having Settlers take 
two population, which makes it harder to build new cities.""

I think this solution's been discussed here before...
