Title: Increase minimum distance between bases
Post by: Dysthenics on December 15, 2018, 06:10:57 PM

How do I increase the required distance between any two bases? I recall doing this somehow years perhaps by editing the alphax.txt file but I cannot seem to find how to do it atm.

I'm looking to make the required distance be either 4 or 5 tiles.

I don't see any setting in alphax.txt to do this.  Are you sure you're not misremembering from some other game?  I know you could set that in Freeciv, for instance.  I've tried it, but I was never that impressed by the consequences of doing so.  I'm not a smallpoxer / infinite city sprawler anyways, so it seems to me they were trying to corral someone else's problem.
