Not sure if @gerber is ever gonna bring missiles to attack cities but that looks like a nice idea.

Starting a city under these conditions is soo different! My gosh... looks like the opposite of how it looked when I started. This is somehow nice because population cards will value a lot more now. So it might actually be worth using the 2nd edition too after you have some techs that boost people.

dCity is super shilled... don't need to worry much. Just keep coming now and then. 5 min a day is more than enough to be very competitive.
