Preliminary thoughts.
Scaled City limits to the map size seems to work splendidly in keeping me, the player, in check.
I'm managing 5 cities on Chiefdom, as Greece (Alexander) and I can expand more, however needing to keep my happiness up in the newly founded cities slows me down enough that be 6700 BC I have yet to discover writing. I'm keeping around 60% in research and expanding my army to go conquer somewhere is a costly endeavor.
I was the first to reach Sedentary.
I am on Noble though, just to see how balanced it was without ramping up the difficulty.
On Gigantic map size, GEM is classed as. (Only looking at base values) [SVN 4569]
Anarachy - +3 (Unhappy) in every city, +2 for every city over the limit of 1.
Chiefdom - +2 in every city, +1 for every city over the limit of 1.
Despotism - +3 in every city (However +1 for every military unit stationed in a city), Settling over 2 cities causes +1 for every city over the limit.
Monarchy +1 in every city, settling more than 3 cities will cause +1 for each one over the limit.
Republic +3 in the 10 largest cities, settling more than 2 cities will cause +1 in every city over the limit.
Theocracy Settling more than 1 city over the limit cause +1 in each one.
The other forms of governments have no city limits.
