The 100,000 population club

The best way to max a town is look for a a 7 food tile that is within a tile or two of a massive food bonus spawn point  (or two such places is even better) and there should also be a few other food bonus tiles close by. Start the town on the 7 tile and then max out all the internal farm and build sov 5 farms on all the dolmens and bonus  food tiles, this should give you enough food to easily max the town (with time or prestige!)

Yeah...those of us who rushed our way to 5 cities before sovereignty came out are a little screwed.  Sure, we could have chosen 7-food squares from the beginning, but there aren't that many, they weren't well placed, and in my opinion, 7/3 is too imbalanced a spread.  (6/4 still allows max pop and a productive city without constant resource shipping).

I look forward to the hinted future ability to terraform our cities.  +2 food for -1 clay and -1 stone would be worth any in-game price.
