In my next game, I think I’m going to up the size of cities. It’d be nice to run across some smaller towns too though. Is there any variability, or do we just have one stock city format that spawns to the specified size?

Also, do the size of wildlife environments (fields, forests, swamps, etc) vary with the size of cities?

Unless you set it to a very high city size, and definitely max city size, in which case the entire map will be nothing but city.

Yes, city sizes vary, no wildlife areas stay constant?
