Heh, there's a good argument. Ok, the slowdown from 2 pop settlers is
reduced when we are aiming for a mode of less cities at the same

cheap. Cheaper land development will help make vertical building
feasible.

But when you present all the players with all the variables, it may
not produce much feedback that can be forged into a game. I wonder if
this is what RossW means with "propagating complexities" (love that
expression).
