You know how it is. You take over a huge city, exterminate Johnny Foreigner, build up all your civil amenities, temples etc, but 30 years later the population is back up to where it was....and they're not happy.
Have you ever sent a plague-ridden spy in to one of your own cities just to get the population down a bit? I know it has short term drawbacks but your garrison can be trained back up again in one or two turns when it's passed.
I've done this a couple of times now, but I'm not sure if it's against the spirit of the game.
Thoughts please....

Terikel what's with you and Corduba. Anyways on my Greek campain ive captured most of the known world and I find that because you are not recruting from alot of your cities the pop in them get really high so I take the plauge get some spies put them in the Bruti cities then infect other really big pop cities.

Corduba revolts on me in almost every campaign I play.
After ten or twelve times, it gets irritating.

I've never tried to poison Corduba but I have every sympathy with anyone willing to give it a go. Of all the holes in the Known World, it is the biggest, and the most satisfying to exterminate whilst dreaming up all the mental images that go along with that word.

No being a stunch supporter of Rome the best to poison and exterminate would be Carthage or Alesia.
