City Strength Calculation Vox Populi

I'm trying to find a formula to calculate City Strength in VP. Does anybody have it, or a link to it? I found it a a few years ago for the vanilla game and it's been great:

How city strength is calculated in detail

Hi there, I'm planning on making a mod to lower city strength and I got into the code to see how exactly the city strength value is calculated. Here are all the variables outside of policies/beliefs/wonder multipliers: - A city has a base strength of 8 - The capital has an extra of 2.5 defense...

Base value = 5
Hills = +3
Palace = +3
Walls = +6
Castle = +8
Arsenal = +20
Military Base = +20
MInefield = +16
Strategic Defense System = +5
Unique buildings, religious buildings, policies, etc. can give extra CS. Not sure about city population.

The value up to now (plus modifiers such as +10% from Castle) is used as the city's ranged attack strength.

Land unit garrison provides 50% of its base CS/RCS (whichever is higher) to city CS. Naval unit garrison gives 25%. If both land and naval garrisons are present, always use land value.

The value up to now is used as the city's defense strength.
