Conguest Question

[tide1530]

I downloaded a map General M's Huge Europe. I've got between sixty and seventy cities in my little empire but now the game is telling me I have to many cities when I try to add more.
I looked in the editor but did not see anything that would let me adjust the number of cities. Is there a fixed number of cities the game will let you establish?

Thanks

I think that there's a hardcoded limit to the number of cities possible (512?). If you raze another civ's town, can you plant one then?

And welcome to CFC!

Thanks for the welcome and the fast response Aabraxan. That would make perfect sense. I have nine other civs on the map and it being so large 360x360 I haven't gone to war yet, and the other civs being well spaced around the map haven't been fighting either. I'll have to start a fight with the British to find out for sure

Yes 512 is the limit. I think I read someone made a fix to remove that. Anyway I have run into that limit many times with 31 civs on 250x250 and 362x362. Keep a couple of settlers on hand at all times.

At the start of each turn check to see, if you can make a town. You can slam one down anyplace to lock the free spot and eventually get a settler to the spot you really want and abandon the temp town.

Otherwise you may miss the chance. In my games I was playing Always War, so sooner or later the AI just stop making settlers and I could plant the town at my leisure.
