I could only build three city hubs. Could someone explain why the city system isn't like in standard civ 4?

It's a special trait specific to the Kuriotates. They can only have a limited number of cities however each city is capable of utilizing a ring of tiles outside of the fatcross (more workable tiles for the city). Play as a different race if you don't like the limit.

the sheaim get abashi, who's "almost" as good the eurabatres

In some ways better, since you can save the meteors he creates for a few turns before attacking (Sheaim leaders have the Summoning trait).

that really shouldn't apply to meteors or fireballs...

but its magic:lol:

if you really want to change it, I think it's defined in customfunctions.py in the assets/python/ folder. search for sprawling in that and you can fiddle there.

It's also scaled by map size.

Also note that the number is dependent on the map size (although 3 is the most common number). Here (http://civ4wiki.com/wiki/index.php/FfH_Sprawling_%28Trait%29)is some detail on the Sprawling Trait.

Its actually even easier than that, just modify the SPRAWLING_NUMBER_OF_CITIES in the GlobalDefinesAlt.xml (or with the editor).

cheats! :)

Is there a way to configure it so that if I (or any player) captures a supercity, it stays a supercity?

You can use the editor (or notepad) to change the conquest probability on the "CITY" building from 0 to 100.

Notepad owns XML editor...

Gah, sorry for being so noobish. Thanks for the flameless help. I just got into FFHII, and I didn't know about the sprawling trait.

We be friendly in this forum. We were all once like you..going about FfH with nary an idea of what is going on...even the almighty QES was a n00b once, y'know.

Thats okay, the team was talking about mana nodes on water tiles a few days ago and I replied sayign that it wouldnt be possible because you cant build roads on water tiles so you could never hook them up.

There was a stunned silence from the team until they pointed out (and to their credit they pointed it out very nicely) that other water resourses somehow work without being hooked up by roads.

Sometimes we are all noobs.
