tips for playing tall, any way to reduce city spam?

[lechuck1]

even on tiny maps the AI still spams 7 or more cities, but id really like to play a game with tall empires that wont pressure me into city spamming myself... are there any mods for this or anything else that can be done to make tall empires more viable and to reduce AI city spam without breaking the AI?

Tall is about 4 to 6 cities though as far as I know. Most of the civs only get about that many in most games I play unless I play a custom map.

Tall in Civ 5 meant 2-3 cities tops. Tall in Civ 6 as Panic mentioned is closer to 5 cities. Though out of the 5, you'll definitely want to focus on 3 being your main cities (that's how I do it at least)
