Has someone done a review of which civs, leaders, bonuses, methods there are to increase city cap?
One of the videos I watched, the player basically said that the "Cap" is really the minimum number of settlements you should have. How many you could have is limited by your Happiness. It's like the Speed Limit that way.Just checked:
In Exploration Age, Hawai'i, Majapahit, Ming China, Mongolia, Normans, Songhai and Spain all have Settlement limit expansions built in, and the Shawnee 'extra' Civ also has - that's 8 out of 11.
In the Modern Age, of the 7 Civs so far revealed, America, French Empire, Qing China, and Russia all have ways to increase their Settlement caps, which is 4 of 7 or out of 28 Civs revealed at or near Release date, 17 have some built in capability to exceed the 'normal' Settlement limit.
It's definitely not intended to be any hard cap. You'd have to work pretty hard, in fact, to play a game through all three Ages without getting at least one Civ that can exceed any settlement cap, and it would not be hard to play a civ in each Age that can exceed it without penalty.
Only Aksum doesn't have an increased settlement limit in Antiquity age.And just in the Antiquity Age, Greece, Han China, Maurya India, Persia, and Rome all have specific ways (Civics) to increase their Settlement limit. That's 5 out of 10 Civs available at Game Start, so by design the Settlement limit is obviously not intended to be too crippling unless you want to treat it as such..
To a bit of info from the staff here before. The idea is that civs that has one settlement cap increase in their civic tree is the standard. So the ones with 2 are the ones that are more expansion focus than the others, and the ones with 0 are the ones less expansion focus.Just checked:

I hope people don't go over the speed limit based on their current happiness...One of the videos I watched, the player basically said that the "Cap" is really the minimum number of settlements you should have. How many you could have is limited by your Happiness. It's like the Speed Limit that way.
That probably explains why ten miles per hour is the fastest I was ever able to drive.I hope people don't go over the speed limit based on their current happiness...
