Complex Corruption Question

[Beechnut]

I'm trying to use the huge 362x362 Europe map. I wan't other civs to limit their cities to 20 or so. I trying to do this by setting optimial cities to "20" on the World Sizes tab under Rules tab.

So.... since the map is pre made, will the game ignore the 20 optimal cities? Or will it let the AI build the 20 before hitting them with harsh corruption?

Thanks.

I doubt that will prevent them from making more towns. Corruption will not be a great for 20 towns on that map as a huge 160x160. OCP would need to be maybe 60 or more. Tile for 160x160 is around 12.5k and 362x362 is 59k.

A 250x250 with 31 civs will hit city limit long before the map is filled. 362 will look empty at 512 towns.

If the optimal number is 20, then I bet a lot of civs will make 25 and more.
Set it to 12 or 15, so by the time you hit 20, it's worthless to make more. I know nothing about map sizes and modding, but this sounds the most logic to me.

? The optimal city number will not prevent the AI from making more towns. They always fill up everything they can until no space is left or the city limit is hit. On a map that huge you may want a higher number so you can have low corruption. You will need it if you plan on going for conquest

That's a new one. What is the city limit?

The city limit is 512. The OCN for a huge map is like 36 cities I think? I recommend like 50 or 60 for such a huge map.
