Too many cities
I've just received an e-mail from Zenehegí, one of our spanish Civ2 scenario creators. He's trying to create a world-scale scenario and he's found that 'too many cities' error message. He asked me if there's a way to allow more cities.
I don't think it's possible, but if somebody know how to hex-hedit the file to allow it... 
Thanks in advance.

The CIV II software uses 1 byte to count cities. This means that the first city is number 0 and the largest number possible is 255 (ff in hexadecimal). Consequently, the maximum number of cities cannot exceed 256.

255 cities... 255/FF is used for the NONE indicator.

Not likely. If they released the source code we might ignore CivIII entirely.
