Hydro you know as well as I do that this will eventually lead to some sort of City Limits getting enforced on every one. It is another layer of obfuscation and sure enough someone in the future will say, hey we have 2 layers of City Limits why not get rid of the No City Limits because we want this or that to happen.
Why muddy the water with a 3rd option when 2 will suffice. Koshling doesn't really want a 3rd option.
I fought for a clear cut difference, either On or Off.
I'm not taking anything away that you Did Not already have! So don't try to lay a blame game on me, that's totally unfair and untrue.
How is it hypocritical if you Already have the Other extreme? I didn't change the code. I did not make the Civics. I fought for a clear and simple choice, not a convoluted path. All I see is an end around to one day removing the No City Limits. Mark my words! That Is the Goal here.
I'm done being hammered for wanting clear cut choices, for wanting some simplicity instead of duplicity.

1a. No it won't. That's like saying we should not have One-City Challenge option because it eventually lead to some sort of One-City Challenge getting enforced.
1b. He said it was fine. Plus the AI still knows how to do it.
If someone feels like doing this go ahead - the AI will be fine with it (it still has hard limit handling code)
2. Having a default, plus 2 options is not going to be too confusing. Plus if we make sure the hover description makes sense then there should be no problem. Out players are not idiots. Plus you fought for an alternative. There was no talk of a 3rd option when we discussed this stuff originally.
3. Blame? I am stating that of all people you should understand wanting to get an optional setting added. I would have expected you to be the first one to stand up and say "make it optional!"
4a. The so called "other extreme" is the middle. The "hard limit" would be the other side of the extreme. If on a chart ...
<- No Limit - Soft Limit - Hard Limit ->
The Soft limit was a compromise brought on by much of your debating. Because originally we started off with a hard limit. It was not only moved over to the center but the No Limit was added to even appease people like you that did not want to have ANY limitations.
Like the No Limitations, the Hard Limitations who disliked the Soft Limit (and of couse the no limit).
4b. I had hoped that it was originally going to be very simple with No Limit or Hard Limit. But debates by you (and others) kept moving to to the middle and watered down the limitations to where they hardly matter now. In fact I see hardly any difference from the soft limit and no limit since the limits that are in place are almost impossible to reach! And there is so much

that any

you get from going over the limit it doesn't really matter.
