fair enough, but inherited huge cities should not, imo, be easy to maintain. They should be constantly on the edge of revolt (look at Baghdad today).

The other cities are actually manageable in terms of squalor. I've had so many provinces that riot because the Capital is so far away, not to mention culture penalty. But if you add the built-in squalor of a new conquest to culture penalty and riots, you get instant revolts like my last post.

I'll try out those Law Temples and see if they are better than the Bacchus. I've heard good stuff about them from other poster too Another problem is that governors are scarce too.
