Civ v: Changing distance between cities

[Nitram15]

There is a very annoying thing in Civ: city restriction. I mean, you can't build a city 2 tiles next to it. I found a mod to eliminate this, but i didn't download it and can't find now. Can anybody help? How can I eliminate this restriction? A LUA script? Or XML?

XML.

It's controlled by the MIN_CITY_RANGE value in GlobalDefines.xml


Of course, lowering it will often result in the AI building cities ridiculously close to each other on a regular basis.

hi guys. I'm new to this whole forum thing, but I was wondering if you could give me a hand. I changed the MIN_CITY_RANGE to 1 in the globaldefines.xml, but when I try and play the game, it still will not let me place cities closer together than 4 tiles. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Help please.

If you are playing Gods and Kings there are TWO sets of some files (GlobalDefines.xml being one of the ones that are duplicated)

The "vanilla" (ie plain Civ 5) ones are in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization V\assets\Gameplay\XML" whereas the G&K ones are in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization V\assets\DLC\Expansion\Gameplay\XML"

Sounds like you have G&K and edited the vanilla ones
