Even tier 4 will be limited, though not be quite as much. Not to mention, a town with all tier 5 POI will be extremely laggy for most players because you'll have dozens of skyscrapers all in one place.
I can see what you are getting at with repitition. If it was solid city this would be a big issue. There are quite a few different tier 5 POIs, and the only location where it would be pure tier 5 is the extreme edge of a 10km map,
Distance from 0,0 so only the edge of a 10km might have it.
You could easily restrict individual placement or wilderness only beyond 5km from 0,0
Most people I know play on a 6 or 8km map, if you are running the map edge of a 10km map you are at end game and likely bored with anything under tier 5 anyway lol
