Too many settlements?

Hi all!

Dont you thinks that in RTR is too many settlements on the map?
Is very tiring when you have big country to manage all this settlements.

What you thinks about that?

Make a small country then.

There are not too many settlements. Turn on Auto management if you don't feel like managing them.

Personally, I think it would be better of there were more!

As reclaimer has posted if you don't want to manage them just turn on auto management.

Me too.

I wish there was more than one per province. Or at least I wish the campaign map showed smaller towns, etc...

Well, you wouldn't have those problems if you expand very slowly - and get all every inner cities royal palaces and all buildings

Black riders! Sweet!

Ok, back to reality. IMO you can never have too many settlements.

If you think there are, then have you tried TIC? It has a lot fewer.

Well, if there were tens of thousands on the current map then I think there could be too many settlements - just think how long that would take to conquer.

I guess the effect of that many settlements is that the AI far away from the player faction could actually grow to a decent size and be more than a challenge....

Anyway, there is a hard-coded limit to the number of settlements in RTW - I believe it's either 199 or 200 (I think the ocean counts as a single settlement).

The map would have to be bigger and more turns added per year. Perhaps this is what RTR7 is doing.

it would be good to see a few small towns and villages around cities when they turn into cities(same province), kinda what RS done

Well, there aren't really suburbs or towns as they can't build anything and they can't develop.

They are a way to reduce the population growth alone (and also to boost the happiness of the settlement as it continues to grow).

It's also a way to help the player who has not built the 'happy buildings' during the development of the settlement (which can reduce squalor).

@morteduzionism
My understanding is that the game engine only allows one settlement per region/province. So, that's hard-coded.
