So what you're actually saying is that I can load up CEP alone and find that you can work tiles 4 tiles away from cities?

Don't use CEP so couldn't say.
Much of the working distance / buy plot code is common within the DLL and hard-coded in many places. There are values in the XML that look like you can change them (eg the one that sets the number of workable rings) but they don't (fully) work and so should really be treated as read-only.
Hi Whoward just tested the effect of MAXIMUM_BUY_PLOT_DISTANCE
So the conclusion is that it is the updated value of MAXIMUM_BUY_PLOT_DISTANCE that causes the issue and that your dll opens up expanded distances without installing your modcomp (haven't checked - maybe you just update the variable in it?). I'm going to try and find out if we can solve it at our end (CEP) but at present I don't know where the variable is used in the mod.
May as well ask: Is there anything you can do to make sure that it doesn't happen in the dll mod (unless your modcomp is installed)?
BTW: The print statement shows that CEP's cityview is used

- With CEP alone (value updated to 4) you can buy/work 3 tiles away
- With CEP(variable updated 4)+combined dll+CSD you can buy/work 4 tiles away
- With CEP(variable at 3)+combined dll+CSD you can buy/work 3 tiles away

Probably not, like I said there are many, many places where hard coded values had to be changed.
(Edit: 100 places in 26 files to be precise)
For finding text in multiple files in multiple sub-directories, may I recommend AgentRansack.

whoward69 I have a request.
I'm currently working on adding terrain and natural wonders to the map at the beginning of the game. Due to limitation in Civ 5 the end user will have to save and reload the game in order to see the graphics. Is there anything you could do via your dll file to fix that?

'Fraid not, as the graphics are not part of the game core DLL.

V43 just uploaded - fixes the minor issue above and also permits "Marble Trade Routes"
Domestic Marble Trade Route
Which means that despite Memphis having Marble, the wonder being constructed there doesn't benefit from it ...
... but Thebes without a local source of Marble does get the benefit for their wonder
The AI will use Marble trade routes at a higher priority than production trade routes, but from what I've seen the AI is in love with gold trade routes and rarely uses domestic prod/food trade routes anyway

Hi whoward69 awesome mods, I'm having problems with "UI - city expansion" and CEP working together, when I try to build a settler the production info inside the city view it doesn't change and it doesn't build the settler. Also, it seams it conflicts with the right hand panel inside the city view with CEP which compresses all focus options to 1 line, with this mod and CEP activated it takes 1 line per option.
Is there a way to solve this I like the idea of being able to select the growth direction with all the considerations taken.
I'm using several other of your mods and the only causing this is "UI - city expansion".
Couple of examples if my words were unclear. Production example:

I don't use CEP so can't help, but others may read this who do and be able to help you out.

Sorry, after a better look to your site I realized that my previous posts were inappropriate, please forgive me, I'm a newbie with too much enthusiasm.
I have a question about one of your mods that only you can answer: improvement - tunnel.
Looking inside the files I realized that trough your mod is possible to make an improvement with a route included
Question: Is the AI aware of this ?
If so, this mod could be used to create new route types!
Thank you in advance for your time

Only with a modded DLL (that the Tunnel mod depends on)
It's unlikely that the AI would use tunnels, as that would require the route finding code to include mountains when the appropriate tech is researched when considering how to build a road from A to B (which the AI is not particularly good at anyway)
