this is what we were talking about. even if you produce 20 000 food/h with all the possibl bonus on food production, if your city has 26 000 pop, even if you put it at 0 tax, you will have a negative production of food. and as you need to have food in you city for being able to research or produce anything, your city is not slef-reliant.

yeah i have the same problem. that's why i have a city, with 7 farmlands, that produces 5 000+ food/h. then i can send enough food for my actual cities that ar running out of food.
and i could even, in the future, have a second city to produce enough food when i will need it.
as these 2 cities have 7 farmlands, they could also be at 10 000 pop and still produce enough food, and enough gold to handle a medium army.

i love to specialize my cities :p

maybe we have a special connection that makes that you think, and i have the intiution to do what you thought?
in fact, non consciously, you are trying to control my mind ! ... im scared now... please dont think about eating a bottle of hot chili peppers... doh! if i tell you not to think about it  you will inevitably think about it... crap.


Creature, personnally im not surprised that maxed cities are uncasual actually, because obviously most people prefer to have more cities with less pop, than 1 or 2 big cities and small others.
personnally i have a big city because i have a big production in it. and im too lazy to send my caravans every 30 min to send 120 000 ressources to develop my other cities. but i guess that players who have 7 towns with 10 000+ pops where very active with theire caravans :p

Do I get a prize for the one with the longest name?

I wonder if ScottFitz has that city maxed out pop yet... If he is maxed i'm kinda surprised there aren't more maxed cities. Takes alotta prestige I guess.

Also for self-reliant cities having maxed pop is a bad idea anyways.

Telepathy i said ! an other proof
