How to increase the city limit?

[Mr.Green]

Please tell me, what increases the limit of cities available for founding?

I played several times and during the first era the limit increases from 3 to 6 cities. But I can't understand at what point they increase and how to influence this?

I didn't find any information about this in the civilopedia and cultural and scientific techs.

Some civics and masteries have +1 settlement limit.

Unfortunately I didn't find them. I would be very grateful if you could give me the names of some.

just ignore the cap as long as you got enough happiness

The thing is that I am at the end of the Antiquity era and I have a crisis associated with a revolt of the population and if I have negative happiness, big problems happen in the cities. I have violated the limit and have 5 out of 4 available cities.

The main indicator of unhappiness is precisely due to the violation of the limit.

But I can't figure out what to do to increase this limit. Which civics affect this?

it does... the limit is only for one thing, you don't get a negative impact as long you stay within the limit.
As soon you get past it, you get negative happiness for each city above the limit.
You have allways take care about a buffer, because crisis can basicly backfire and negate your win, no matter how far you are leading and turn everything into a loss.

antiquity age civics:
entertainment
organised military

antiquity age techs:
irrigation

exploration age civics:
colonialism mastery
imperialism

exploration age tech:
feudalism
sovereignty
social class

expansionist tree bonus, bottom right also increases settlement limit by 1

cant check the modern age now, i dont have a save in that era on this pc, and for some reason the civilopedia is locked to the current age you are playing.

Thank you!!!

you can go through a lot of hassle unlocking settlements in the trees but it don't even matter cause when you reach the next era you are reverted to the base limit of that era.

In antiquity i was able to gain 3 extra settlements bringing me to 5/7. Once the exploration era came i was at 5/8 which is the base limit for that era anyway

There are also settlement limits increase in some legacy rewards when moving from ages to ages depending on your performance.

For example, the military track has a reward for +2 settlement limit if you advanced it enough during the first age.

Leaders can also have settlement limits like, for example, Xerxes and most civ have unique stuff to research that increases their settlement limits. The ones listed above were the general ones but theres also some baked into culture specific advancements.

There's a city limit now?
Yeah, I'm gonna wait another year before buying lol

The ai doesn't get a limit.. lol. Isabella in my last game had 8 towns and cities in her lands.. I got 5. max. Now you can capture or build more, but you'll get penalties to happiness production etc.
