Faster And Wider Border Expansion

Description
This mod changes a few simple constants to make cities expand their borders faster. The initial border pop will cost the same amount of culture, but after that your territory (and that of the AI) will grow much faster. City states will also grow their borders at a faster rate than before, although not as much as a major civ. In addition, borders may grow up to twelve hexes out.

This changes the game, because empires will fill out their territory faster in the Medieval Era, and grow their borders out into the oceans in the Industrial. In response, you will probably see empires looking to expand overseas. Barbarians quickly decline, which seems to help the AI as least as much as it helps the player :)

The four screenshots show typical border progression for a culturally developed capital at the start of the renaissance, industrial, modern, and atomic era.

Is there a way to edit the values to make the border growth crazy? And does it work for AI?

Hungryblocko, sorry for taking so long to reply to your question - I haven't paid much attention to Civ 5 for a while. There are at least one or two fairly simple mods that do allow civs to work outside the 3 tile limit, and they are compatible with this mod - I've tested them. I'm not to going to include that function though, the reason is that it changes the game balance quite substantially because a city will have direct access to more high yield tiles. That makes growth, production, everything basically, a lot quicker, not really the 'flow' that I look for.

To a lesser extent this tweak also changes balance, but in more subtle ways, such as being able to get more strategic resource and luxuries with fewer cities - and it's a bit of fun for people who like, well, seeing big borders grow. I'm weird like that.

Looks like a fantastic mod, but could you consider adding a function that allows civs to work outside of their 3 tile limit? The expansion is great, but I think (I have no idea how modding works, so please, if it's too difficult, just tell me) it would be cool if it allowed you to work past 3 tiles out, but you would have a penatly such as 2 citizens per tile, and it could stack exponentially as you reach further out. Just an idea, please consider it. Thank you in advance.

Oh, and one more thing! Well, Krazen said, that his expansion is 3 times faster than normal. And how about yours mod? O hope its faster, because I want this game to be realistic.
"Our South neighbours are Poles, and from west side - Sweden. From the north we can see Celts" Yeah, geographic education in medieval age, instead of far future. (really far future in vanilla)
Lovin it. Oh, I can see these huge wars.

Im going to use it with Krajzen's faster plot expansion mod, and so, I hope I wont get my game crashed when expanding. We'll see.

If that's the mod from porthaky, I tested that out, and they work together fine for me. Make sure you have all the mods you want to use checked in the in-game mod menu.

I activated this one and the "Increase city radious from 3 to 5" mod, which lets you work upp to 5 spaces from the city with your citizens, but I can only work 3 spaces from the city, so it doesn't work.
