Mark is partially right. What will be better? To have many small cities or to build few cities which will become giga???

I guess I will build many cities and then destroy some of them in later stages of the game…(not very realistic but…)

[Yoleus]

If my city is squeezed in between other cities and the city radius is cropped short, will I still need the same number of population that I would need if it was free in order to harvest 100% of resources? If for example another city prevents my city to gather resources from 3 squares that would have been inside its radius but are controlled by the other one, will I need 3 less workers to gather the full resources?
In this case, what will happen of the extra 3 workers? Must they be specialists forever or could they be used LATER to gather resources when eventually the radius will grow another ring?
