Link Updated, please let me know if it goes down again.

NOTE: This mod could be used to INCREASE or DECREASE minimum city distance.

Does the situation from the picture happen to you every single game? Tired of other Civ's building too close?

This simple mod extends the minimum city distance from 3 to 4, by changing the default value of MIN_CITY_RANGE global define.

I also added the settings for

SETTLER_EVALUATION_DISTANCE from 20 to 12

CHOKEPOINT_STRATEGIC_VALUE from 2 to 4

and

SETTLER_DISTANCE_DROPOFF_MODIFIER from 75 to 50

It essentially gives the AI better choices for city placement.

This mod was designed to work in conjuntion with the Faster Border Growth and Extended City Radius mods.

With all of these mods enabled, you can now reasonably play on larger maps, albeit with fewer cities(lag), while still retaining filled out borders.

Got some information here:

NOTE: You may want to change the multipliers to 12/3/1 in your global defines, if requested I may make a mod for that.

@cape Should be back up, thanks for letting me know! Glad to see people are still getting use out of this even after Civ 6 is out.

Make sure to avoid the clickbait ads when looking for the download link.

This sounds exactly like what I need. Can you please reup the direct download?

AliveDrive, I hear you. I like the idea I like it. Your explanations are great.

Also this: "With all of these mods enabled, you can now reasonably play on larger maps, albeit with fewer cities(lag), while still retaining filled out borders. "

Actually funny story this mod is like 3 lines of code, and I have very little programming experience.

I made this mod to have cities be farther apart, and it is ideally meant to be used with the Faster Border Growth and Extended City Radius mods (which i did not make).

This is a subtle mod, but you will notice it when you go to place a city, that by default they must now be farther away.

The beauty of this mod is in it's relative simplicity, as well as its flexibility.

For instance, you could have cities be CLOSER instead of FARTHER by editing one little number in the code.

"This simple mod extends the minimum city distance from 3 to 4, by changing the default value of MIN_CITY_RANGE global define."

The reason I made this mod is because I wanted to amplify the effects of the other mods I listed and they seem to really shine when they aren't cramped by those expansionist AI.

Additionally, I believe in this mod. I continue to subscribe. I have not been playing alot lately. I will report back when I can get a more complete or comprehensive impression of it. In the meantime, kudos to AliveDrive for the work that is evident in this mod.

we installed thru steam
it may indeed be working
i do not mean to be testy
it is a mod that has, as it were, subtle effects
when I take the time to glance at it I cannot immediately tell that it is telling me ANYTHING useful, hence my hesitant attitude towards it.
Do I make any sense?
If a mod such as this is to be useful and downloadable, we need to be able to see immediately for ourselves that it is adding something to the game
If it is not obvious or obviously evident that it is adding to our play then it is not--even if the design and intent is sincere.

Can anyone else confirm that they were able to get this mod to work or experienced issues with the mod?

@inahut Did you install through Steam, or the direct download?
