Another Foundation Challenge - Say Hello to My Little Friends

"Become suzerain of each type of City State during a single Age"

I thought this one sounded easy but the difficulty seems to be getting one of each type (Militaristic, Gold, Cultural and Scientific) of city state to appear in the same age. I always seem to get three types but not four! Does anyone know if the number of AI civs affects how many city states spawn?

At the moment I am playing on a standard map with the default number of civs reduced by 3, and all 4 types of independent powers are represented. It's not the first time this has happened, either.

They all always appear. The true challenge is not having the AI eliminate them. I got this one quite a while ago. Use necklace memento where you get 100 influence back when surezein and use a civ and policies that reduce cost. Having the AI on a lower level will probably help them not eliminate the IPs so fast as well.

I don't even recognize this challenge, probably means I already have it. I most likely got it my first game as Tecumseh. Machiavelli is a good choice because all the influence you get. Getting this on anything above normal difficulty may be difficult. Especially since I think the 2 recent patches made the AI more aggressive towards city states.

You can try surrounding city states with units to prevent their capture. Obviously play the largest map you can.
