How big do your cities get?

[henry k c]

I modded a special map where every tile made 25 food per turn and I found out the maximum city poulation possible was 255, after that my city still had a food surplus, but wouldn't grow. In real civ, I had a 27 city, no higher.

I once had a city get to 40, but usually they're under 25.

Yesterday I captured a Russian city with lots of flood plains that were irrigated. It grew to 30. It would have grown larger, except I had to turn many people into entertainers.

I try to not go over the max tiles I can work, cause the specialists aren't worth the pollution, but once I had tons of flood plains so for kicks I got the city to size 32.
