but it makes smallpox stronger, not weaker.
One idea to really weaken smallpox is to not allow caracans to help for
wonders (Civ3). Unfortunately it also increases the impact of a city's
recources, thus of luck.

Another one I came up with, is to make it harder to rush your population
in Republic or Democracy. How about a parameter to set the minimum number
of citizens to rush-grow.
