City-state elimination thread

Antananarivo (Cultural) - 24
Auckland (Industrial) – 27
Babylon (Scientific) - 22
Buenos Aires (Industrial) - 25
Brussels (Industrial) - 20
Carthage (Militaristic) – 2
Geneva (Scientific) - 22
Hattusa (Scientific) - 19 (22-3) Can make a different in the early game when you don't have access to iron, which seem to be the most crucial strategic resource. There are other ways to get these, however, including settling spots, conquering a city or by trade. It's for me definitely one of the more useless city states.
Hong Kong (Industrial) - 15
Kabul (Militaristic) – 22
Kumasi (Cultural) – 26
Muscat (Trade) – 23 (22+1) Surprised to see it at this low score compared to Buenos Aires. In a direct competition, I prefer this one (I know that I build too many CHs).

Valetta (Militaristic) - 26
Yerevan (Religious) – 25
Zanzibar (Trade) - 29 (28 + 1) - Cinnamon goes well with pretty much everything!

Hattusa (Scientific) - 19
Hong Kong (Industrial) - 15
Kabul (Militaristic) – 22

Muscat (Trade) – 24 = 23 + 1. Not as good as Zanzibar but amenities are still welcome.
Nan Madol (Cultural) - 26
Palenque (Scientific) - 20
Stockholm (Scientific) – 25
Toronto (Industrial) – ELIMINATED = 3 - 3. To get full benefit of this you have to plan the placement of your IZs for it. If you aren't suzerain but planned your IZs out that way, you are losing out on production. If you place your IZs normally but are suzerain you get no benefit. Too hard to get true value out of.

[Kimiimaro]

Antananarivo (Cultural) - 24
Auckland (Industrial) – 27+1=28 - Love these loads of bonus production.
Babylon (Scientific) - 22
Buenos Aires (Industrial) - 25
Brussels (Industrial) - 20
Carthage (Militaristic) – 2-3=-1 (ELIMINATED) - Should have gone before Toronto, IMO. My reasons are same as the last time.

[Amrunril]

Antananarivo (Cultural) - 24
Auckland (Industrial) – 28
Babylon (Scientific) - 19 (22 - 3) I like this conceptually, but the numbers aren't quite there for it to really be impressive.
Buenos Aires (Industrial) - 25
Brussels (Industrial) - 20
Geneva (Scientific) - 22
Hattusa (Scientific) - 19
Hong Kong (Industrial) - 15

Kumasi (Cultural) – 26
Muscat (Trade) – 24
Nan Madol (Cultural) - 26
Palenque (Scientific) - 20
Stockholm (Scientific) – 26 (25 + 1) Excellent source of great person points. In the late game, the numbers of extra points get huge, and in the early game, even a few points per turn are enough to net you extra great people.

[Trav'ling Canuck]

Antananarivo (Cultural) - 24
Auckland (Industrial) – 28
Babylon (Scientific) - 20 (19 + 1) Really nice for a Culture game if you're being slow in getting your tourists. Helps you keep up with science when you're not ending the game before that matters.
Buenos Aires (Industrial) - 25
Brussels (Industrial) - 17 (20 - 3) It starts to get interesting, now, as all of the remaining City States have circumstances in which they're useful. Playstyle now starts to have a big impact on preferences. Industrial City States are generally of low value to me other than their Suzerain bonus, as I rarely have more than one IZ (if I even build one). And I consider Brussels' the least useful of the remaining Suzerain bonuses, as its only 15% production in a city when you're building a Wonder in that city. Personally, I almost never build a Wonder, as most just slow you down.

Geneva (Scientific) - 23 (22 + 1) Science is king in Civ VI, an 15% increase is really nice. Plus I like to play peaceful.

Antananarivo (Cultural) - 25 (24+1) - Culture and lots of it

Babylon (Scientific) - 19
Buenos Aires (Industrial) - 25
Brussels (Industrial) - 20
Geneva (Scientific) - 23
Hattusa (Scientific) - 16 (19-3) - Decent bonus in theory. In practice it sucks to have suzerainship ripped away and having units unable to heal. Especially in the middle of a war

Hong Kong (Industrial) - 15 - 3 = 12 It's sad to downvote my home city, but Industrial city-states are quite weak in R&F, and city projects are mostly useless until the mid and late game.
Kabul (Militaristic) – 19 + 1 = 20 On high difficulties, you'll virtually be in constant war - and the fast promotions help out so much, even if you don't have Encampments and their associated buildings.

Buenos Aires (Industrial) - 25
Brussels (Industrial) - 20
Geneva (Scientific) - 24 = 23 + 1. Gives the best science for peaceful place.
Hattusa (Scientific) - 13 = 16 - 3. Its not necessary a lot of the time. Either I'm playing peaceful in the late game and thus don't need a lot of military or I'm conquering everyone, thus have a lot of land and resources.

[Trav'ling Canuck]

My votes from yesterday seem to have been skipped. Babylon should now be 21, I believe, and Brussels should be 17.

 

[eleven11]

Antananarivo (Cultural) - 24 (23+1) - Ok, go get your 30-40 science per turn from Babylon. Agreed, it's a decent CS. Meanwhile, I'll pull 200-300 culture per turn with Antananarivo during the same game period.
Auckland (Industrial) – 30
Babylon (Scientific) - 21 - Corrected
Buenos Aires (Industrial) - 25
Brussels (Industrial) - 14 (17-3) - Corrected - Marginally useful and can be abused by France with the policy for production wonder bonus for a huge discount. However, most wonders are chopped if they are important enough.

Including corrections for @Trav'ling Canuck votes that were missed.

Buenos Aires (Industrial) - 25
Brussels (Industrial) - 14
Geneva (Scientific) - 24
Hattusa (Scientific) - 13
Hong Kong (Industrial) - 9 (12-3) Can be nice, but I don't go for super fast victories, so not super exciting.
Kabul (Militaristic) – 20
Kumasi (Cultural) – 26
Muscat (Trade) – 25 (24+1) with a larger empire, better than Buenos Aires.

[Ferocitus]

Antananarivo (Cultural) - 24
Auckland (Industrial) – 31 (30+1) I haven't played Australia for quite a while, but it was worth killing any scouts or units that looked like they might find Auckland and start an envoy competition.

Brussels (Industrial) - 14
Geneva (Scientific) - 24
Hattusa (Scientific) - 13
Hong Kong (Industrial) - 9-3=6 - I only build projects when I have nothing to build or when going for Science victory. And since the Royal Society gives me to ability to rush projects with builders, I'm afraid its effect is now weaker than before R&F and simply not very needed.

Nan Madol (Cultural) - 26
Palenque (Scientific) - 17
Stockholm (Scientific) – 26
Valetta (Militaristic) - 26
Yerevan (Religious) – 16+1=17 - Not so soon. This will always be useful for RV, no matter how often you play. And with R&F, religion has become a large part of my game because of the era point stream from spreading the religion to other cities. And having the chance to not have weak apostles with abilities I rarely use is something I really like.
