So, while I am preparing for my first game of Civilization V Brave New World, I was going through and figuring out which Civilizations I want to play with and against. It got me thinking... Presently, there is a way to select which Civilizations are in the game when setting up your game, but no way to pick which City-States are in. All you can change is the number. I know it may seem trivial, but there are some that I prefer, and others that I don't.
It would be nice to have an option where you can enable or disable certain City-States that are placed in a map. Given that certain map sizes have a set number of City-States, perhaps a warning could come up when you disable too many.
Another option could be is to have an option in the menu that allows you to set weights to the City-States (1-5). A weight of 5 would be chosen first when generating a map, while a weight of 1 will be chosen last. I know it is way too late to include it in BNW (though maybe it could be one of the last things that has not been revealed), but maybe they can include it in a patch.
Before anybody says anything, I am aware of the Advanced Setup mod, which is nice and all, but I just feel that is a feature that should be in the game without needing a mod.
As for reasons to include it (besides personal bias against/for a particular City-State), one big one is for people who like to play themed maps... only Asian Civs, etc. Kind of throws things off when playing with China, Japan, Korea, Mongolia, Siam, etc. and having Quebec City pop up.
Anyway, just a thought.
EDIT: Additional thought, with over 50 City-States in the game, I think this only makes sense.
