You're really hitting the net tonight!

I would agree that 1/2 to 1/3 is more likely. If you get 90% of a civilization being slaves, it's going to be awfully hard not to have the slaves revolt and take over. Even if you could kill five slaves for each citizen killed, the slaves can still wipe out the citizens and have enough members left to continue the civilization.
