How many provinces can a city expand out to?
Assuming you've got a fully upgraded / researched empire, how many provinces out from the city can you expand to? Trying to plan ahead for spacing out cities. Is it 3 provinces? More? Less?

A lot more than that. I think it starts at 3, then you get another +3 from city upgrades, then you can get another +2 from empire bonuses (in the nature branch). There are other modifiers you probably wont get every game that expand it even further. You are going to be limited by population a lot more than you are limited by province distance.

You can swap provinces between cities whenever you want though, it's "free" and just takes 1 turn. You can even "disconnect" provinces this way and have islands that still seem to support the city they belong to. So planning ahead isn't that important.

It can get even higher if you want. There's a setting you can enable in custom games called 'megacities' which further increase the annexing range by another +5.

Yeah saw that, but it prevents you from having more than 1 city.
