Is it possible to mod the 2-space distance between cities in civ4? - to one space, maybe even no spaces at all? Or is this limit hardcoded until the SDK?
Can cities be built closer?

To elaborate, if nobody knows what I mean : In previous civ games you could build cities in very close proximity of other cities, usually with at least 1 empty square between cities. In civ4 this number has been doubled, so that cities in the vanilla game are always spaced at least two squares.
I want to change this limit - if possible to one or zero, to reflect more accurate city placements in historical scenarios. I'd like to create maps with possibility for really dense city placements.
On a side note, perhaps alternatively, does anyone know if it is possible to name cottages/villages/towns on the map, so that these place/city names appear in the game?

Do you (or anybody else) know the effects on artillery etc. on closer placements. Do they automatically pick a city, if there's more within range, or do you get to pick one? (I will test this myself when I get time to do so, just thought I would share in your wisdom, if anybody has tried this before me).

its in the global defines, under MIN_CITY_RANGE (i think, havent tested yet).
addit:
it works. this is my Japanese Empire with the range set to 0:
and also, it seems that when i hit the end, instead of saying New whatever, it goes to the American and then Arabian city list.

Thanks guys! I did a small test with artillery and catapults and it seems they just take their best pick, if more cities are within range. It did seem, I can't be certain, that they went after the city with the highest defensive bonus,
