Growth no longer constrained to city limits?

[wlindley]

City growth seems to have been broken some time recently.

On the 11.x branch... starting with a new map...

either letting cities grow "naturally", or using the "+100" city growth button, results in growth along the inter-city roads, rather than growth within city limits.  This results in long vines of growth rather than the clusters we formerly got.

Is this on purpose?

[jamespetts]

There is a parameter (from Standard) that affects the extent to which cities will grow outwards along existing roads or stay within their areas.

Since I am planning to change the way in which city growth works at a somewhat fundamental level for the major release after next, there does not seem to be a great point in fine tuning this now.
