Oh, that. I think this feature should be removed. Otherwise a smallpoxer
can too easily offset the disadvantages of his strategy by building a
smaller number big cities faster than a largepoxer can. Then you can do
anything with smallpox that you could do with largepox and also gain the
smallpox advantage.

Why is it more complicated? Is it less fun? More micromanagement?

What would be needed to defend until that time from an assault by a
smallpoxer?
