why d some1 prefer a size 1 nothing city to a well established puppet???
Honestly like 100 answers in this thread and no1 facing the obvious.
With the sp system in civ5 its in like 99% of cases best to have puppets instead "small" cities.

focus and claimed this was a buff when in reality it was a massive stealth nerf.That was when ICS really took off.
