"Cannot found a City within 2 Tiles of another City."

[smellymummy]

without modifying anything in regards to that rule (afaik), i noticed that a city was founded within 2 tiles of another city! within those 2 tiles was an intervening water tile. is this how it's supposed to work?

i ploped myself a settler to do the same and absolutely no prob

can anyone point me to where this rule is defined?

(spoiler for screenshots)

Spoiler :

noticed this:

then did this:

edit: wow nvm found example in search almost immediately , this is apparently how things work: [NOT A BUG] AI places city within 2-hex limit (1.0.0.621) (but still want to see if the rules are modifiable or not)

I think this only applied if they're on the same landmass.
