Having workers in the start makes largepox a more viable strategy, I
think.  The ability to link cities with roads and to irrigate lets you
build up your cities more early on.  Devaluing pottery isn't really an
issue since you absolutely cannot waste bulbs on pottery until you get
republic, and once you change governments you'll want to go through
pottery anyway.

That said, I leave this for the ruleset people to decide.
