I have played several Random games at 100x100 hexes. I have set the Towns slider in the setup window to 5, yet I get more like 100 towns. In fact, I get the same number of towns no matter what I set the town slider bar to (except if I set it to zero, I get only 1 town per regime).

If I recall, there is a setting for enhanced or optomized for AI. If you use this, I think perhaps it adds more towns. Could this be what's happening?

That's it! I didn't check the "Optimize for AI" block and it created the number of towns I indicated. Thanks a lot.

Do you know what else the "Optimize for AI" choice does besides override the number of towns?

It's the only noticeable effect on my random games. I'm not even sure it improves the game quality vs. AI.

AIs use production centers as focus points for their militaries. If there's a long distance between two production centers, the AIs may not protect the routes very well.
