Increase minimum distance between bases
« 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.

* Random quote

Learn to overcome the crass demands of flesh and bone, for they warp the matrix through which we perceive the world. Extend your awareness outward, beyond the self of body, to embrace the self of group and the self of humanity. The goals of the group and the greater race are transcendent, and to embrace them is to achieve enlightenment.
~Chairman Sheng-ji Yang 'Essays on Mind and Matter'
