I mean, if you exterminate a city, it looses a good deal of its culture penalty anyway. The real problem comes when they AND have high squalor AND are lightyears away from your capital. I have a nice picture (which I don't have a host for), which shows the whole Nile Delta revolting (while all other cities are just fine).
Compared to the Colossus of Rhode (which gives you A LOT money), the Pyramids just seem pathetic. I mean, the Pyramids and Olympus just don't do anything after turn 4, and they don't do anything that a bit of wait and garisson couldn't do in that time as well.
i don't agree with this. Culture penalty makes holding egypt virtually impossible. That's unfortuante, because egypt/alexandria usually are extremely high tech provinces.

I'd trade 20% trade income for a pre-concul level city or two any day.

PS Zeus IS broken. Pyramids are fine.
