From what I've seen, if these specific values are held, most really large cities have increated a lot, and medium and poor cities have either increased little or got decreased. Many mountain-regions seems to have been decreased.
I just hope that there is good reasoning behind it. I understand unequality as an interesting game aspect, I'm just wondering what will happen when a realm owns a 4500 gold city which by itself produces more gold than the four medium cities the enemy has.
Wouldn't this make it very hard to sustain realms any other place than close to one of these "Alpha cities" (as opposed to medium or small cities)? What if one realm got ahold of two or three of these Alpha cities? Would they not be nearly unstoppable?
I think so too, 2 "Alpha" cities would make any realm extremely unbalanced in comparison to the realms that have small or medium cities.
