Questions about the Editor

[MatMat]

There is something I want to ask for long. You know, as playing an ultra huge map(e.g. el_mencey's world map), very soon when you build new cities, the game will tell 'There's too many cities' and don't let you to build more.

Here are the questions I want to ask:
1) When you use the editor, will it display 'There's too many cities' when you build so many cities?
2) If it let you do so and you have exceed the maximum numbers of cities allowed, when you load it, can it be played?

Thanks you so much for helps and supports!

Do you HAVE to use such a large font?



The game has the maximum number of cities hardcoded in it. I'm not a mod-maker, so I don't have the knowledge of the Editor, But since it was written by the same folks as the game, I would assume it won't let you pre-place too many cities. And even if it would, I am sure you wouldn't be able to open/play it.


BTW: Welcome to CFC!

Welcome to CFC!!
I think the answer to the first is yes, and the second is really applicable because of this. The city limit is based on a limit in the engine itself (I think it's 512 cities), so it wouldn't allow you to put more on. Even if the editor doesn't catch this, it would probably crash the game when you try to load the scenario.
By the way, it might be a good idea to reduce your font to size 12, if you can, or else people will be annoyed by gigantically long posts.
Edit: sorry, Padma. You beat me to it...

It was originally 256 cities and was increased to 512 in an early patch.
