Hey folks!
I'd really like to be able to set it so that radius expansion is simply in all directions, instead of all except directly N, E, S & W.
Why?
I'd be able to place my cities in much nicer patterns if they didn't have that odd gap that makes it so that the radius shape (after one culture expansion) is an X instead of a neat square!
After each expansion I simply want it to be an X by X square (3x3 with city in middle for 0 culture, 5x5 for 10 culture, 7x7 for 100 culture, etc)... Although the 5x5 square is what I'm really after, the larger radii beyond that can be whatever shape they feel like - I'll be pattern-building my cities in such a way that beyond 10 culture it really doesn't matter - My custom scenarios are around 300x300 squares so border expansion being too "rapid" isn't really a concern.
Is it possible to edit this game dynamic? If so, how?
Even if it's "hard coded" there'd have to be a way to change it (I'm not afraid to hex edit under instruction

). Anyone able to help?
