Hi all,

Quickly, can you tell me what is the city-state ?
Maybe a link to a good thread.

Thanks.
 
A city-state is a city that stands on its own. It isn't part of a bigger civ; it is its own civilization. They can build armies, workers, etc. but they do not take active parts in politics/diplo.

You can use money to buy influence with city states. High influence with a CSs will make them your allies, and they will give you stuff. There are three kinds of CSs - maritime, cultural, and militarist, and each give a different kind of gift. Maritimes give food to your cities, cultural give culture, and militarist often give you military units.

You can declare war on an conquer CSs as well.
 
A city state is a source of food, culture or units. And with right civics quite cheap too.
