limitation of the amount of town

Never heard of the colony limit being hit, but colonizes being annexed by cities as they expand tends to cut down on number of colonies.

Out of interest, does anyone know if the number of colonies is limited as well? Is it linked, perhaps, to the number of cities?

I'm running a 362*362 world on DEBUG with all 31 flavors. (I've been testing a mod which is being designed specifally for monster worlds, with adjusted tech rates, enhanced culture, different unit stats and a reworked tech tree -- so far so good, no AI got to an advance government until ~10 AD, and no knights appeared until ~500 AD.) It's now 960 AD, max cities, all AIs still alive and kicking, multiple alliances,wars, etc.

The movement phase is the longest, at about five minutes if I keep the shift key down (longer if there are lots of battles, which are always real time); invdividual civs may trigger pauses of up to thirty seconds before passing movement to the next civ (but usually don't), and then there's a two minute pause (build phase, I think). Typically 10 minute turns, now.
