Nicholas – Urban Limit
Urban Limit – Province Carrying Capacity
v1.0 – 2026-07-05
Every province can only sustain so much urbanization. This mod adds a carrying-capacity rule to settlement upgrades:
Urban slots per province (town, city or megalopolis all count as urban):
- 3 or fewer locations: 1 urban location
- 4-6 locations: 2 urban locations
- 7 or more locations: 3 urban locations
One great city per province
- Only ONE city or megalopolis per province – never both, never two.
- The remaining urban slots can only be towns.
Design notes
- Ownership-agnostic: the limit counts ALL locations in the province, no matter who owns them. Splitting a province between countries does not create extra capacity.
- Upgrades only: nothing is ever demoted. Provinces that start over the cap (or end up over it after a conquest) keep what they have – they just can’t grow further.
- Tooltips on the upgrade button explain exactly which rule is blocking.
Built for 1.3.x.
