City State Elimination Thread

[LethalLeigh]

Amsterdam = 8
Antananarivo = 17
Armagh = 5
Auckland = 25
Buenos Aires = 29
Brussels = 23
Carthage = 25 (28-3) With harbors giving trade routes I haven't needed this CS. No Need for 50 trade routes.
Geneva = 23
Granada = 14
Hattusa = 24
Hong Kong = 14
Jakarta = 15
Kabul = 22
Kumasi = 22
Muscat = 24
Nan Madol = 15
Palenque = 9
Stockholm = 25
Toronto = 22 (21+1) Not as good since Stacking nerf but still good to have. Mainly when you have to build cities close together and don't have as much room.
Valletta = 19
Yerevan = 20
Zanzibar = 23

 

[Guandao]

Granada should be at 14 and Toronto at 22 now

 

[Eliminator_Sr]

Amsterdam = 8
Antananarivo = 17
Armagh = 5
Auckland = 25
Buenos Aires = 29 - 3 = 26 (Not as good as Carthage)
Brussels = 23
Carthage = 25 + 1 = 26 (Someone downvoted them)
Geneva = 23

Kabul = 22
Kumasi = 22
Muscat = 24
Nan Madol = 15
Palenque = 9
Stockholm = 25
Toronto = 19 (22 - 3) This was the strongest city state in the game on release, but now that regional bonuses don't overlap, it's a much more situational boost.
Valletta = 20 (19 + 1) The main appeal is the city center buildings and walls, but being able to rush encampment buildings and focus your production on units isn't bad either.
Yerevan = 20
Zanzibar = 23

Nan Madol = 15
Palenque = 6 (9-3) Faster growth.. campuses.. both irrelavant
Stockholm = 25
Toronto = 19
Valletta = 20
Yerevan = 21 (20+1) So good for religious victory
Zanzibar = 23

 

[Guandao]

Amsterdam = 8
Antananarivo = (17-3)=14 Same reason as before, also I'm not sure what the ability has to do with the real-life city

Kabul = 22

[LethalLeigh]

Amsterdam = 8
Antananarivo =14
Armagh = 5
Auckland = 25
Buenos Aires = 26
Brussels = 23
Carthage = 23 (26-3) Trade routes are good, but people put too much important in them. I've never needed more then around 20-25 trade routes in the game. I get those though CH & Harbor Districts
Geneva = 23
Granada = 14
Hattusa = 24

[Amrunril]

Amsterdam = 8
Antananarivo =14
Armagh = 5
Auckland = 26 (25 + 1) This often works out to a larger percent bonus than Brussels or Hong Kong, and it applies to everything.
Buenos Aires = 26
Brussels = 20 (23 - 3) Wonder production can be situationally useful, but it's to intermittent a bonus to really belong in the top tier.

[gettingfat]

Amsterdam = 8

Armagh = 5-3=2 (monastery? Just a waste of a valuable builder charge)
Auckland = 25
Buenos Aires = 26
Brussels = 23
Carthage = 23+1=24(can't imagine somebody downvoted it not just once, but twice. With this CS a fully developed encampment gives you +6 production, 2 housing, and a trade route. With the elimination of IZ building effect overlapping and nerfing of harbors these bonuses become even more valuable. Encampments are cheaper to build as well).

[Siptah]

Amsterdam = 8
Antananarivo =14
Armagh = 2
Auckland = 25
Buenos Aires = 26
Brussels = 23
Carthage = 21 (24-3) A great CS, but the the best? No. Militaristic CS still lack behind at least commercial and industrial ones. If you find one in the very beginning, ok, nice to have that +2 production for units. Later I don't consider it that important any more. May also come because I often play peaceful. And I usually have far less encampments than other districts. I build it only in cities that really needs them e.g. border cities that will stay that or in a very few production heavy cities. And really, what would I do with 30+ trade routes?

Mohenjo Daro = 24
Nan Madol = 15
Stockholm = 25
Toronto = 20
Valletta = 21
Yerevan = 22 (21+1) still the best in my opinion. Of course, if you never do a religious victory, it's just for defense and not that great, still useful though. But if you go for a RV, it's so good, it's overpowered. Good thing that the AI seems to like it as well and it's not one of the easiest to suzerain. I don't think any other CS is such a potential game changer.

I like city states that encourage entirely new strategies and this has tons of flexibility. You aren't really taking full advantage of the bonus if you are building lots commercial hubs though that is fun too)
