Min_City_Range ignored?

[Arkaeyn]

So one of the things I do with RAND is increase the distance required between cities back to normal Civ levels, in the GlobalDefines file. Rhye normally has it at 1, I switch it back to 2.

<Define>
<DefineName>MIN_CITY_RANGE</DefineName>
<!-- Rhye -->
<iDefineIntVal>2</iDefineIntVal>
</Define>


Which works, or had worked, completely fine. Until today. Check the screenshot - somehow the Carthaginians managed to get Hippo on an island with only 1 square between it and Qart-Hadash!

I'm playing on Monarch, so I don't think it can be the AI popping a city from a hut. Maybe the island is considered a different continent, and that changes the code? Any ideas?

you switched it back to 2? and this happened? weird

OT: whoa, you Island looks like a horse with a dude on it

I think it's the continent thing or something, I remember seeing this happen to someone who was playing normal civ as well.

P.S.-Hopefully you won't have to do this next version because we'll have all civs on a standard map

Its like the same thing in Earth 18civs with Paris and London. If the two cities are on different landmasses, they can violate the minimum city range restriction.

Interesting. I'd never seen that before.
