I agree with @cløudie
1 Hex mod would go hard

I cannot describe how much this simple mod helped me

1 hex mod would go crazy

Why is there not a 1 hex version of this mod?

Is anyone else unable to find this in mods either in the game menu or computer files after subscribing?

chendoodi; The game's default is 3. Yours is 2 because of this mod, which lowers it to 2. If you want 3, unsubscribe from this mod. If you want higher than 3, search "cities distance" in workshop and find his other mods that change the distance requirements (up to 8, I think)

Hey Everyone... Long time no talk. I just posted equivalent Civ6 mods earlier today for cities being 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or even 9 (yikes) hexes away. Enjoy.

Is this because I am using BNW?

why my Cvi5 default is "2"? even I change it to 3, it still wont work :(

Soron, If you want to lower the distance even more, you can do that yourself. You have to find the global defines folder which is here - C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization V\Assets\DLC\Expansion2\Gameplay\XML
Then edit the value under MIN_CITY_RANGE. The default is 3.

what about a 1 hexes or even a 0 mod? XD

Hey man, I'm unfortunately stuck with playing on a Mac right now. TSL maps are basically the only thing I ever play on, so I'm dying being unable to edit globaldefines.xml directly myself. If you could post a direct download for this mod, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

Thanks! And funny, as TSL maps were exctly what I was thinking about when I originally created this mod. Speaking of TSL, check out the Historical Spawn Dates mod. Plays very nice with TSL. I am loving it.

Excellent mod, thoroughly enjoying using it. As said before, almost essential for playing TSL maps of the world in Europe!

@gustavo.brutos get out of here spammer.

@NukaCola and @DrSalt - good to hear you like the mod. cheers.

...Beautiful...
Can you please be my God?

Great for playing on earth maps in europe.

very nice mod know my unit dont have to traval as far to get to city to city

Do they? Either way it's kind of unrealistic. The mod is called the "Headlock Mod" It has somee values that I don't like but I copied some global values into another mod to disable the cities indirectly attacking you.

@JaegerJack69 --- which mod, if you don;t mind me asking? Somewhat on topic, ranged units that have the Indirect promotion can bombard without line-of-sight.

I meant to say mod. I am sorry. I meant I was at war with another civilization, and attacking one of their cities, but there was another city of theirs that I had not discovered yet, behind a mountain. On one of the turns it shot at me over the mountain, which my archers, and catapults could not do. The city could fire at my soldiers even though they didn't directly see them. How the would shoot the arrows over a mountain anyway, I don't know.
Either way I found a solution from another mod that stopped it from happening.

@JaegerJack69 - Huh? Isn't war a key component of how the game works? There are ways to make Civs permanently at war, but I have not seen the opposite.

Can you make a mode that would stop cities from indirectly attacking me? I had troops on one side of a mountain and on the other side there was a city (which I was not aware was there) that fired right over the mountain at my troops.

Finally! I always had to change global defines myself

I agree with both Squirly and Lynx, those would be great.

Cool! But could you make one that allows 1 hex? :)

Thank you i think this will make it easier to keep an eye on your civilization :)

Can you do one that allows a city right next to a city?

thank you

@marcusfek - I thought about it, but then the Civ5 default is 3. ;p

Can you do one for 3 hexes?

So here is the "2" mod. Should be compatible with Vanilla, Gods & Kings and Brave New World. Enjoy!

I originally created the "4" mod to reduce AI city spam so that I would not have to hand edit the game's XML to get the behavior I like. After uploading the "4" mod, folks promptly asked for sibling "5" and "6" mods too. Done.

Surprisingly, at least to me, yet more folks have since asked for additional mods with the distance set to "2", "7" and "8". At long last, done. Cheers.
