US flip zone

[LukeUeda-Sarson]

In 1.184, cities tend to be established slightly more commonly in the "not-so-usual" positions than they did in 1.181.

For instance, Tampa (1 south of the usual Jacksonville/Savannah/Charlotte tile), Detroit (east coast of Lake Michigan, 2 tiles from Washington) and Toronto (3 tiles north of washington) are things that I can't really rememebr being noteable in 1.181. But they have a decent chance of being there in 1.184 (especially Detroit); however none of them are in the American flip zone.

This can't be good for the nascent Americans. It's bad enough as a human to have to content with a city that won't flip just 2 tiles from your capital; how will the AI cope?

Should the American flip-zone be tweaked slightly?

Cheers, Luke

I can't say about Tampa, but I usually found Toronto and Chicago/Detroit myself to box the Americans in. These were never in the original 13 colonies, so I don't see why the spawn space should be increased. (Florida was Spanish then ceded to the Brits, and only joined the Union in 1845)
