True Tall is 1 city tho ;)

Keeping populations of 15+ at ecstatic for the huge bonuses is more difficult than 4 population, though certainly possible with the right civ and/or map. It's win condition dependent, but for a deity science victory in particular we only really need Campuses in every city, with supporting...
