hmmmm... Never thought about these monsters. All i wanted to do is make the 
food requirement to increase pop drop (smoothly) toward 1, instead of 
staying at 2. I guess there should be a max of 1 food bonus per pop. Anyway, 
city growth is limited by the turns, not the food. I'll fix that...

Any thought on the 2 other bonuses? Are they out of place or not enough? In 
the default settings you need to be size 52 to get 100% bonus in trade and 
shield (nothing that would make a smallpoxer cry to injustice). I could 
split up the 3 bonus but that would get compicated for nothing.

Cheers,
Antoine
