Is there a way to go wide without the happiness demands of your cities scaling out of control? I played a Russia game with 20+ cities and the demanded yields of my cities were way beyond anything I was capable of. I thought Progress - Equality would help but I think it just got blown away mechanically.

If you have enough extra sources and lock growth it is just about possible to have lots of cities. But you get diminishing returns very quickly, those extra cities might well do nothing for you.
A options:
1) Consider turning off growth for some of your cities. The key question is....what good tiles remain for my city? If its just a few more yields (aka you have already taken all the really good tiles) than growth may not be needed, as the city has already achieved its main potential.
2) Often I will do a round (or two) of public works in all of my cities. Its the price you pay for such a big empire, but several of those should get you back in order.
3) Don't be bashful about paying big prices for luxs if you need it to get your happiness right.
4) Late game Landmarks are a big help. Remember that even if you build a landmark for someone else, you still get the happiness benefit for it, so that is one way to balance the books.

Yeah I have a bad habit of loving farms and growing big, tall, and wide, on the theory that a big city has the most yields, has more hammers to get all the buildings, and contributes the most to my empire. Guess I could re-think my approach and go for more efficiency.
Yeah this mod changes a bunch of things. Farms are pretty bad it might be right to just never build them outside of your capital. I generally won't use internal food trde routes despite them being one of the most powerful thing in the base game. Because science is tied a lot less to population a smaller city running more specialists is often better.
Religious buildings help a lot if you are wide as they benefit every city, pagodas in particular can provide a huge amount.

A few farms for a brand new city can be good, as can an ITR. Its just that the benefits drop quickly so you generally don't want to keep making farms and ITRs

What are the main factors contributing to memory related issues? Are there settings I can change that will reduce memory consumption?
I typically play on standard size maps with 8 civs and 16 CS but find that I cannot add much beyond VP and some custom civs as mods before I begin to run into issues. I have a gaming laptop that's less than two years old, so it seems unlikely that it's my machine.

Do you have EUI (enchanced user interface) installed?

Is there a flavours table or something similar to mod AI behaviour when it comes to World Congress resolutions, or is that done purely through the DLL?

What kind of problems are you running into?
Typically, graphic-heavy mods like R.E.D. or Ethnic Units can cause troubles in the late game.
Thanks for the reply!
I typically have two types of issues. (1) unique improvements not showing up in strategic view. This typically with extra civs; I've been told that it's probably a memory issue. It will happen from the start...so it's not a late game issue. (2) If I try to add ENW or EAW with some extra civs I get CTDs. I was just wondering if there are other settings that could reduce the load to allow me to have ENW, EAW and some extra civs. By extra civs, I mean extra civs available to play...not more civs on the map.
The only modmods I have installed are:
- More unique components for VP
- Calypso's Colored Religious Icons (Basic and Extended)
- New Beliefs Mod
- Promotion Flags
- Really Advanced Setup
- Nine extra civs

1. The strategic view and normal view use different art files for icons and as most people play in the normal view, modders often forget (or do not know) to create icons for the strategic view - hence the missing icons ... I think.
2. I'd try a minimal install without the extra civs, ENW, EAW and unique components first and see how it goes. Your problems can be stemming from memory issues, but also from some bugs or incompatibilities - especially in the extra civ mods (ENW, EAW, UC are well tested imo).
3. Just checking - the Promotion Flags is the one linked from the compatibility thread, correct? The original one sure caused CTDs.
They miss out on so much. Strategic view gang for the win. Once you get used to it, you do not come back to normal.

Yoo ugly hexagon map for the win
No, it just looks too ugly
3D is just so chaotic and ugly. The beauty of hexagons is enough for the eyes.
I'm saying that while being in charge of modifying dds files for 3d models. X)

3D is ugly? Get a graphics overhaul or just turn up the graphics because low is ugly, even for me. But I have to use it so that my computer wouldn't BSOD
