How do I change where cities can be founded?

[tommytoxen]

I've been looking everywhere in the XML files but clearly I'm going blind as I'm failing to find it.

I'd like to make:
Tundra & Snow unsettable so there's no build option for the settlers on them

I know there's a way to do it as I've seen others have done it but I can't find in the xml files where they've edited.

Anyone have a clue please? Thanks

It's in table <Terrains>. The <Found> column, which is set to "true" for the base terrains TERRAIN_GRASS, TERRAIN_PLAINS, TERRAIN_DESERT, TERRAIN_TUNDRA, and TERRAIN_SNOW. When omitted (as it is for the rest of the terrains), the value defaults to "false". Bear in mind that TERRAIN_MOUNTAIN and TERRAIN_HILL aren't "real" terrains, they are essentially overlay elevation-levels to the base land terrains.

Nice man, thanks! Will give it a try.

Sick of AI just strolling in and plonking an unwanted city near me on tundra & snow. Annoying!

Edit: It worked, thanks so much man.
