Even though cities are currently maxxed out, I'm trying to prepare for the Great City Cap Lift.

I have found some conflicting information about the minimum number of citizens required to start a city. The official online guide (found here: http://starwarsgalaxies.station.sony.com/content.jsp?page=Advanced%20Guide%20Player%20Cities) states that you need at least 10 citizens. The official ingame help (via Holocron) claims the minimum is 5.

So, which is it?

Slight follow-up - even the various FAQ's and guides supply different values. I suspect this question will need to be answered by someone who has successfully started a city with 4 citizens, or will be answered by a Developer. Wheeeee!

Currently you need 4 other residents (plus the Mayor, who counts as 5) to not have your City Hall implode. Forthcoming changes are listed in the Friday Feature and the following thread, found in the Development Forum:

Thanks, Joshie.

I read Thunderheart's post a day or so after posting my question. At the moment, I need 5 citizens (and some other player city on Tatooine to conveniently collapse).

In a week or so, I'll need 10 citizens and not worry about the city cap becuase tier-1 cities (outposts) will not be counted.

This could happen as soon as tommorow - we don't have a time frame, so it is best to plan as if the higher caps were already in place.
