Is there anyway in the map editor to increase 512 city limit? also, i have never actually reached that limit before in a game, so what exactly happens, does the game crash, or do you and the AI just lose the ability to settle cities?

I don't think you can increase it, but I think all you lose is the ability to make cities.

the number of cities is hard coded

Yeah, there's just no "build city" option any more. It sucks.

Anyway to increase the 512 city limit?
Yeah, just make your own source code.

How many times am I going to say that before somebody catches on?

But who wants to spend the time to make their own source code? If you have please post it :drool:

well...i suppose you could buy a C++ decompiler, (or whatever language Civ 3 is written in), look at the code, find all instances of the number 512, and change and test each instance.

If someone plans to change the source code please also fix precision airstrikes ;)

Civ fanatics, software engineers, and crazy people.

Like me, for instance.
If you have please post it :drool:
Give me about 10 years, and/or a team of people as crazy as me and much more skilled in programming, and I'll get back to you. But I figger stirring up a grassroots revolution in the meantime can't hurt.

Now now, that would be piracy, and strictly against the EULA. :nono:
btw, the limit would depend on the data type used to reference the city list.
