[Mini mod request] Limit settler placement to certain tiles.

[Chiyochan]

Is there a way to do this? or possibly a mod that is already released? I play on a fairly regular map, I would like to make the cities that get founded more regular and in less bad places.

So you're basically requesting better AI (Artificial Intelligence, man!) for city placement, then? Did you try the Better AI mod?

In terrainInfos.xml it's possible to restrict city founding to certain tile types, but i guess that's not what you want, right?

It might be - we simply don't have enough information. But I'm guessing its a little of both.

yeah, I guess i wasn't sure if that was a rhyes only thing and required python; the tag markers confused me,
Would I be able to add a new kind of terrain using only terrain infos?

no problem with that (okay, corresponding graphics are needed).
But you shouldn't add your new terrain at the end of the file, but before TERRAIN_HILLS and TERRAIN_PEAK, because adding it afterwards will result in some strange effects.
