Optimal number of cities?

[bugmuncher]

Hi all.

Some of us don't get to play Civ III with an editor, because the editor was not ported. So, is there a list somewhere of the optimal number of cities for each of the map sizes?

Thanks in advance...

Tiny - 14
Small - 17
Std - 20
Large - 28
Huge - 36

This is for Conquest. Note that traits can increase OCN. FP can increase it as well.

Thanks for your reply. Is there a similar list for just plain vanilla Civ III with the 1.23g patch? I don't own Conquest, sadly.

I got it from the editor and I don't have the editor for vanilla. Well one is installed, C3C seems to have messed it up.

Anyway I doubt that there is much difference in the map values. I can't recall if any other factors affect OCN.
