I played a lot of ICS games in civ IV And yes i already MMed more than 40 cities .... I know it is not that easy as that, I'm just pointing that this game is MM intensive
I know, it's in fact worse than in Civ4 because in Civ4 your cities didn't need so much baby-sitting because the city governor didn't re-arrange tiles so aggressively and once you set it up it was sufficient to check every now and then if he didn't do crap. In Civ5 you need to check for crap far more often and I find I sometimes have to tell the governor all of the tiles he has to work - and again when the city grew. Since there's no growth notification after size 5, that means you basically have to go through all of your cities every few turns if you really want to get the best out of it.
Another reason is that you re-arrange specialists far more often in Civ5 to avoid beaker overflow and such, which is a royal pain in the ass.
