  • Sick Joke?

    I'm playing on a huge map of Continents as America, I'm approaching the end of the modern era, I've overrun my home continent and have begun moving onto the other one. I send a settler to an island to form a city and wham! The game locks up at the formation of this city. I've re-tried founding a new city a couple of times and the same thing always happens. The strange thing is that the city's name is "Le Bam". Is this some sick joke on the part of Firaxis? Is there a limit to the number of cities a player can found? Why wasn't that published instead of having us find out by founding a city called "Bang!"?

        La Bam is like what, your 70th city? That's too many -- you are currently NOT permitted to have that many cities.

        Situation will change after the patch announced yesterday is released.

          is Apolyton still a Greek city, by the way?

            Where is it stated that there is a limit to cities?

              There is a bug that crashes the game if you build a certain number of cities. It is supposed to be fixed soon.

                According to wikipedia it is.
                I haven't checked it myself yet.

                If anybody can provide a nice screenshot of it we can cover it.

                  In other words, it is. Unfortunately, it's the very very last city in the list! That probably implies you'll only see a screenshot from a Greece player on a massive map doing ICS

                    Well... if you want a screen shot, you can either edit the XML to move that city name up the list, or just rename a city yourself and make it look like it happened naturally.

                      No, it is hard-coded counter to ICS.

                      certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.
