Current: There are currently 58 City-States distributed between the five types :
- Religious: 8
- Cultural: 14
- Maritime: 14
- Mercantile: 14
- Militaristic: 8
Proposal: Add 42 new City-States based on the history of Major Civs (either old names of their Capital city, capital cities of powers in the same region or the same cultural family; also "first settlements" in some cases). These City-States would use the MajorBlocksMinor table recently introduced to not be present when their associated major civ is part of a game. Here is the list:
- America: Salem (Religious)
- Arabia: Raqmu (Religious)
- Assyria: Assur (Militaristic)
- Austria: Enns (Religious)
- Aztecs: Aztlan (Militaristic)
- Babylon: Nippur (Religious)
- Brazil: Rio de Janeiro (Maritime)
- Byzantium: Pamphylia (Maritime)
- Carthage: Utica (Mercantile)
- Celts: Aburnethige (Religious)
- China: Fenghao (Religious)
- Denmark: Heidabir (Mercantile)
- Egypt: Shedet (Religious)
- England: Engel (Militaristic)
- Ethiopia: Aksum (Religious)
- France: Lutetia (Mercantile)
- Germany: Brennaburg (Militaristic)
- Greece: Argos (Militaristic)
- Huns: Longcheng (Militaristic)
- Incas: Huari (Religious)
- India: Harappa (Mercantile)
- Indonesia: Trowulan (Maritime)
- Iroquois: Onondaga (Religious)
- Japan: Yamatai (Cultured)
- Korea: Wanggeom (Cultured)
- Maya: Holmul (Cultured)
- Mongolia: Bairin (Militaristic)
- Morocco: Msoura (Religious)
- Netherlands: Dorestat (Maritime)
- Ottomans: Sogut (Militaristic)
- Persia: Ecbatana (Cultured)
- Poland: Veligrad (Mercantile)
- Polynesia: Pago Pago (Maritime)
- Portugal: Oviedo (Cultured)
- Rome: Palatium (Militaristic)
- Russia: Novgorod (Mercantile)
- Shoshone: N/A => Like the Huns or the Mongols, the Shoshones were primarily a nomadic culture. However, there are no clear associated powers that could be used instead while not going very far from this civ (contrary to the Huns with the Xiongnu or the Mongols with the Khitans), so I decided to left this one out.
- Siam: Ban Chiang (Militaristic)
- Songhai: Jenne (Religious)
- Spain: Okilis (Militaristic)
- Sweden: Sigtuna (Cultured)
- Venice: Eraclea (Maritime)
- Zulus: Kwa-Bulawayo (Militaristic)
With these added, the number of City-States for each type would become 20, and the total number 100.
Rationale: With recent additions to the code of the mod, it is today possible to balance City-State numbers to allow better repartition. The current number of City-States in each category however doesn't reflect this possibility. One way to fill the gaps and increase the overall variety of CStates in the game is using the MajorBlocksMinor table to fill the list with "minor" versions of major civs.
I am of course open to any suggestion for some changes (for example Jenne for Songhai or Onondage for the Iroquois could be replaced).
