When I first made this, I used some spreadsheets in order to choose parameters, and hoped for parameters that will prevent cities of effectively growing bigger than 8 without improvement. I no longer have those spreadsheets, but my original ruleset is found here: http://forum.freeciv.org/viewtopic.php?t=5721 The patch is, of course, irrelevant. Also, I don't know how much the code had changed since my original contribution, so it might be relevant any more.
