[NFP] City state unique improvements

[Tech Osen]

If I counted correctly we now have nine CS unique improvements. But they are all land based. I would really like to see some sea and or lake specific improvements.
Or would that be unbalanced or take away from the civs that have unique water improvements?

If we didn't already have the Netherlands in the game as a full Civ, I'd say that having Polders be a CS improvement would be really cool. There's probably some really good suggestions to be made but I don't know any of em, I'm not much of a history person tbh. Also I don't think it'd really take away from civs with unique water improvements, as long as there isnt a civ whose unique improvement is completely overshadowed by a CS improvement in every aspect. It'd be fine by me if theres potentially a lot of overlap like with Mekewaps and Trading Domes, or with Moai and Chemamull, so long as a civ still has a reason to build their own UI at least some of the time

Too bad we also already have the Aztecs:

tbh i couldn't think of a better example off the top of my head, and didnt wanna just put down one example. I was just thinking cos like they both give gold from adjacent luxuries, so theyre somewhat similar. Also the Cree are incentivized to have lots of trade routes so buffing their gold output with trading domes wouldnt be that bad. it's like a trade off between housing and production, or even more gold

Yeah, I remembered seeing an Aztec rework mod on the steam workshop that game them chinampas! Dunno if there's any other potential CS thatd make sense to have it, but itd be really cool

Or if Lisbon was still in they could have given us feitorias.

Honestly I like the idea.
When you are the suzerain of Dubai you can build an artificial island improvement that grants gold for every luxury/strategic resource adjacent to it. The gold can then convert to tourism at flight.
