Water pollution is not a huge problem till Industrial Era (there is some spiking in the Medieval Era). After that it can skyrocket. I have blunted it's affects though after StrategyOnly's save game from 2 months ago showed a massive break down in the AI from being overwhelmed by both pollutions and crime at the same time occurred. Even his cities were affected as well. Because once your city hit the 2000 level for Either pollution is was a population death spiral after that. And the AI in particular could not get out of it because they did not know how to. T-brd worked on the AI and I worked on the pollution, crime and the Bad events that come from excessive levels from all 3. I increased the Range of pollution and When the levels triggered the bad events. This was also from T-brd's urging as well.Sounds good! I think having to deal with only one type of pollution early makes it also a bit easier for newer players. And Water Pollution wasn't really an issue at all throughout the game, to be honest. I still think the per pop water pollution should be increased...
So to say Water or Air pollution is a non factor is not entirely correct. Neglected house keeping in this area will Kill you and the AI.
And I have to say I disagree with raising the per pop level as well.
