Hi all,
Just a quick question. What determines the size and population of a new city founded by a player or the public player? I've been finding that the sizes vary wildly for reasons that I can't work out. Any help gratefully received!
On further exploration, it seems that altitude makes a significant difference: cities placed at ground level are small-ish, but cities placed two or three tiles above sea level are much larger. What could explain this? Can it be changed in cityrules.tab?
It is entirely random.
