Your not really getting any extra production...ppl just tell themselves that...you have the same ability in each city...all you do when u specialize cities is create a transport issue for yourself. Also you make it harder to find 9 or 10 of the specific valley you need.
Completely wrong. Everyone knows that they make more doing it this way, and not because of the high number. If you have a 4 mil cap of each resource, then most of the time, they won't be producing - unless you don't farm npcs correctly.

Transportation is also not a problem. My typical city wood producing city will have 20+ million iron, huge amounts of stone/food from npc and then whatever wood I have at the time. I transfer wood to iron cities and iron cities to wood, two times a day tops, to keep production going.

My wood and iron production go up 24/7. I highly doubt anyone who splits up the resources can do that as well. It would require constant management, and a huge lack of npc farming. A single town will end up with 8 million stone in a day - which is how I judge my npc resource income. So 8 mil each resource, with a small resource cap of 4-8 million depending on the setup. It just won't keep producing.
