Maximum number of cities error

[superman13912]

I recently had a problem with Civ III patch 1.29f with a pop-up saying "too many cities". Strangely enough the maximum number of cities should be 512 but I am well below that number. The number of cities on the map is even less than 256. It is not apparently a problem with memory either...So, I was wondering if somebody had the same problem and eventually got an idea to go around this problem.

Thanks in advance

The "Too Many Cities" error should mean that there are more than 512 cities on the map, all civs included. Are you *positive* that there aren't that many cities on the map?

I heard Civ Conq raised it to 512 mybe vannila was something around 256 ?

Hi there,

normally, it should be 512. A rough count gives me about 300 cities. My civilization extends quite a lot (1/4 of the giant map), so I don't really know if this matters. Anyway, thanks for your interest.

YA no problem IM sure you'll come to understand what it is soon. AS for my misunderstanding, I guess the city increase with the move from sequal and not Xpakss was what I picked up somewhere. Mybe civ2 had 256?
Anyway, I should have know lil better then to question the Padma's knowledge on the intimate basics.. sorry man
