City radius/closeness

[BobTheTerrible]

I've searched all over but I can't seem to find the answer: Are there xml variables I can tweak to change the minimum distance cities can be built to each other? Also, can I tweak an xml variable to reduce a city's radius to the tiles immediately bordering it?

Yes, MIN_CITY_RANGE in Assets\xml\GlobalDefines.xml.

Not to my knowledge, but you could increase the culture needed to reach culture level 2 and above in Assets\xml\gameinfo\CIV4CultureLevelInfo.xml to some high number to achieve much the same. Of course that would also block the defence bonus that culture levels normally give.
