Now, we all know that each City has a production radius of 2 squares. Is there a way to force the Computer AI to enforce that rule for themselves ? ie. we always find that the Computer AI is building Cities nearer than the optimal 4 squares apart. I'd like the Computer AI to build Cities at 4 squares apart. Is there any .txt file I can alter to enforce that ? |

The exact same question was asked in the Creation Forum a few weeks back. Look here: ../../Forum11/HTML/000668.html?date=09:16

Check out the Med mod 3 thread as well. I have been fooling with this some more. I will have more to say on it later. |

4 squares apart may not be optimal. If you build about 3 squares apart, you can expand faster, and your cities will be 1 unit-movement-point apart when you connect them with roads, so you can reinforce faster. (E.g., a Pikeman can be sent to a neighboring city in 1 turn if that city should suddenly find itself the target of unwanted attention. If the cities are 4 apart, then the Pikeman will take 2 turns to arrive.)Personally, I tend to build 3 apart, except for the areas where I don't build anything at all (swamp/desert/ice), or where terrain dictates an irregular layout. As usual, playing style and strategy differ for everyone, so do what works for you. If the AI plays like I do, then I can't really blame it.  | |
