Watching the way Brad plays EFE has me wondering if we've given up on the idea of trying to control city spam. His AI does it (my last game had me taking over 20-25 small, poorly developed, and barely defended cities to win) and he himself does it. The first thing coming out of a newly built city in his video wasn't anything to encourage growth, production, or defense, it was...another pioneer. So, do we not hate city spam anymore?
