My personal opinion is that the Rebel faction is too strong (and not that AI is too weak against it). After a few decades of gameplay, every rebel city you take will be either Large or Huge, depending on the area. It is kind of silly to see the city population of Britain be far larger than that of Greece, really, or their development to outmatch that of Rome or any other faction. All but three cities in France (Gaul) and Germany were large cities when I took them in my last game as Romans.

It would be cool if the rebels had a severe growth penalty, at least, or 3x build times. Can it be done?
