I think the Thoraxians are supposed to be like that. Subsurface, at least.
The faction I think that needs the biggest decrease in city size are the Thoraxians, man, they have buildings EVERYWHERE, making them super hard to wipe out. I think that the Andors cities are the right size though.

No one can dig under mountains. You might even be able to encircle them.
Ah, cool. I look forward to not having the Peltians and Krolin taking all my lebensraum. :-)

The idea of the Peltians as being those folks is particularly funny to me. Of course I know they do it, but it's still funny. The implication of the term "lebensraum" is that I'm the aggressor and they're just passively sitting in places I want to expand into with their windmills and tulip fields. The Peltians fit better than the Krolins, who just happened to be expanding in my general direction and were rather more aggressive until 0.816 stopped them shooting everything I tried to build near the coast.
