AI City Settle Discrepancies

[Codeword Iroquois]

I've noticed in several games of Civ 5 that the AI occasionally manages to settle three tiles from another city. Does anyone know why?

Never seen that. Picture? You play modded or anything like that?

If the cities are on separate land masses separated by water, the cities can settle one tile closer to each other than normal.

Yes, I play modded, but only maps and civs, as well as Info Addict.

Please note the cities: Anjar + Grenoble. Three tiles apart along the same coast.

some map mods have the distance between cities limit decreased, to fit those maps better (wouldn't be realistic if an Earth map can only have one city on Italy)

This particular map was a fractal.

the point still stands. some map mods reduce the distance limit between cities.
