Does anybody have any input/knowledge of tinkering with the optimal city number setting?

I adjusted the number of optimal cities upwards a bit to reduce corruption. Now, as soon as I try creating my city at the start of a new game, I get a fatal crash every time.

Is there a ratio of cities by map size that needs to be adhered to for all map sizes? Is the optimal city number affected by number of civs per map, or spaces between civs?

Sorry if this duplicates a previous post, but I skimmed 10+ pages of old posts and didn't find this issue addressed, even though I vaguely recall having seen something about it (maybe it was in the map forum, but I'm too tired to look now).
 
I have not had a problem (at least in the 1.16 patch, haven't tried it in the 1.17 patch yet), I upped the optimal city size on a standard map to 650 or so.
