np - I did the same a few weeks back (after debating city 9 with myself for a long time).  Smile

You didn't mention the pop on the cities in neg food prod just that there were three.  If you build all cities to 15K instead you end up pretty close to the requirement without food issues and then you can save up the resources and grab the remaining pop needed relatively quickly to hit the 9th city w/o food issues for too long.

Suicide a few armies/diplos so you can gain the pop without the food hassles.  Grab that 9th city and then demolish a few buildings when you build your armies up again.

If you're in negative food production with 11k pop per city then I would guess you're either running pretty big standing armies/diplos or you are not using much food boosting sov.

Wait...now that I think about it, wouldn't not doing work equate to...not doing anything? O_o I can see this going in circles in my mind.

This seems like good advice...*sets off to do as little work as possible*

And TD, I don't think I could manage to get 41k pop in any reasonable amount of time with prestige. It's totally possible but that's a lot of time spent.
