| Not sure if this is a bug or not - Palace descriptions is not clear should I be able to have as many cities as I want or should it be one per palace level? |

| I think it should be one new city per Palace level - at least that's the way I read it. Right now I think that it is ridiculously easy to start new cities past the second. |

You should be limited to one settler per palace level.
I'll be fixing this and removing cities past the limit, so don't build up the 3rd ones. Heh.

| Guess I better declare my two additional settlers ready to build city 4 and 5 :) any chance of trading them in for cash back? |

I'm still trying to weed through the code to find out what broke. If I need to destroy those two units, too, I'll manually refund you.
Likely I'll change it to a more reliable "number of cities + number of settlers" versus "number of palace levels in all cities" type thing. And it'll be checked both when you try to settle a hex and when you try to create a new settler.
Though it'd still be possible to have a settler you can't use: if you take over a city while you have a settler available, you could end up not being able to settle anything until you upgrade/build another palace level.

I'm changing how these mechs are going to work. Instead of counting the settlers themselves (which obviously is proving buggy and unreliable), I'll be tracking how a city is created and using that as the basis for whether or not you can create a new settler.
It'll work like this:
----
You can make one settler for every level of palace you have, no matter where those palace levels are.
So if City A has 3 levels of Palace and City B has 1 level of Palace, you could make 4 settlers in City B. Or 2 in City A, and 2 in City B.
You can not make more settlers than you have settled cities.
So with the same City A and City B as above with a total of 4 palace levels between them, if you have 4 settled cities, you will be unable to create any more settlers.
It would be possible to have a settler when you do not have enough palace levels for one. For example, if in the above example with City A and City B, and you lost a city and its palace levels. In such a case, you'd still be able to settle a new city, but would not be able to make more settlers until you have more palace levels than settled cities.
----
Working on getting this in place right now.

And done. The extra cities have been purged, and your 1st settled cities have been updated with extra gold and flagged as "settled." Should work correctly from now on.
Irontang, you also got gold for the excessive settlers that were removed.
Let me know if any other problems occur or if anyone has questions.
