Hi, I am new to the forum and I had a quick search and couldnt really find a definitive answer. When I play Civ5 I usually space my cities at least 5 open hexes apart. This gives them chance to really grow into huge cities in the future. But I see that the Ai tend to space theres only 3 spaces apart.
Is there any advantage to their tactic and am I spacing mine too far apart? I could obviously space mine closer together but then the cities wouldnt grow as big would they?
What do you guys generally do in this respect?
Cheers, and great forum btw!
 
Thanks Dave, I guess 5 hexes is the optimal amount so I wasnt far off ;)
