Too many cites and what to do with them.

[Crayfish/Civ]

Ive found that when my civ gets larger (covers 1/3+ of map) that i don't need to produce units in every city.

My question is what do you guys do with em? The only thing i can think of is to make every one in a city a specialist(entertainer etc.) so they dont make anything.

That's generally the idea. Make your low production cities all farmland, and use the excess citizens for specalists. You can also produce workers, too (especially if you're nearing/are at the industrial era).

Check out Bede's "The Role of the Specialist Citizen" in the War Academy. Specialist farming is a good way to make use of dozens and dozens of hopelessly corrupt cities.
