So recently with the loads and loads of new civilizations, there have been odd conflicts in city-state names, such as multiple civs replacing the same one with different names, or replacing different ones to have the same! (notable example being a recent game with the Three Montevideos right next to each other...and Uruguay is being made into a civ!)
My solution is a master override list for city-states that changes as the community makes more civs and is adjusted in accordance with what's appropriate and sensible. I don't actually have modding skills myself so it'd fall to someone else to actually implement this, but it should be a simple matter...right?
Cultured Maritime Mercantile Militaristic Religious
Bratislava Byblos Antananarivo Almaty Ife
Freetown Cape Town Cahokia Belgrade Wittenberg
Kyzyl Mogadishu Suva Sidon Sarajevo
Milan Mombasa Genoa Valletta Ouagadougou
Monaco Ormus Hong Kong N’Djamena Khartoum
Andorra Panama City Male Kigali Dhaka
Luxemburg Ragusa Singapore Bujumbura Thimphu
Dar es Salaam Wellington Zanzibar Paramaribo Islamabad
Nicosia Lagos Lubeck Kuwait Colombo
Doha Lome Vaduz Bangui Acre
Gaborone Accra Kinshasa Tallinn Touba
Kampala Abidjan Dubai Ljubljana Salasar
Amman Djibouti Manama Port Moresby Tehran
Conakry Libreville Lilongwe Asmara Riyadh
Windhoek Port Louis Yaounde Dili Baghdad
Tashkent Monrovia Nairobi Juba Tarim
My sort of guidelines for these are simple - I want all of them to represent states which have, at least at some point, been distinctly identifiable and independent (so, no Salt Lake City or Independence, as tempting as they are for Religious, there's not a point you could say they were truly independent polities) and to avoid being on the lists of existing civs - thusly the exclusion of say, Reykjavik, Dakar, or Naples due to being present on Denmark, Songhai, and JFD's Italy respectively. The sixteen columns are for the sixteen colors CSs have assigned to them, so all should be of equal frequency.
The means of editing the little theme tunes they have is currently unknown but that's not a very big deal. If possible, I'd like the cities and the overarching 'name' of a CS that shows up in the sidebar to be different - so Windhoek of Namibia, Male of The Maldives, Dhaka of Bangladesh, etc. This should be simple to my knowledge! Also I'll put up little pedia entries for the new ones, nothing big or complex, just like, "Suva is the capital of Fiji and one of the largest cities in Oceania. It was founded in blablablah and has so and so, and Fiji did this and that, never becoming colonized by outside powers and instead reforming into a modern state independently from ancient origins."
