How to get rid of "Too Many Cities!".

[jkct01]

I have a prob with building cities - "Too Many Cities!". Can any one tell me how to get rid of this irritating reminders?

Thanks!

Don't build too many cities...

Seriously, a limit of 255 cities is hard-coded into Civ2. There is a fixed-size table in the data file that keeps city number, name, size, improvements, and other items for each one. Given that you need to have at least one city belonging to another civ, your own limit for building cities is 254.

Personally, I find managing more than 50 or so cities an unbearable chore, but then I am a perfectionist micro-manager...

Do you know how to stop that message from flashing on and on when I have built too many cities? I wish it had given me advance warnings before it reached 255!

In one game I have 100+ cities, but to manage them all, I have to write stuff down. I haven't reached the limit yet, but maybe someday...
