Description

Spoiler :

Changeable options for this mod:
In the mod files you can easily change the follwing lua scripts with your editor:

FreeCityStates.lua:
- bInheritCityPlots: Set this to true to allow city states to keep all tiles of the former free city (default value: false)
- bInheritCityName: Set this to true to give city states the name of the former free city (default value: false)
If you set both boolean variables to true then the result should look like this:

Spoiler :

- iConversionProbability: Sets the base conversion probability for converting a suitable free city to a new city state (default value: 7). Can be a float number.
- iMaxRangeUnitConvert: Sets the radius of the free city units that get converted to the units of the newly spawned city state (default value: 4)
AssignStartingPlots.lua:
iPercentageDeletedCityStates: Percentage of the city states players that are saved to a pool so they can start later. These city states will not spawn at the beginning of the game of course. (default value: 50)

Great idea!

Question: I play exclusively on a big earth map I've created, and I have most of the game's city states placed on it. There's only a couple "new world" or modern city states which I haven't used. With that in mind, how would your mod handle this? (in other words, the "pool" of city states is very small). Also, I placed starting free cities on my map. I'm hoping your mod would try to make them flip into a city state - would that be the case?

When the game is created for the first time 50% of the city states are safed in the pool. These city states are picked by a simple algorithm I have created in AssignStartingPlots.lua. You can try my mod and tell me if it works for your world map. If you do not like my algorithm then it can be modified so the game only picks a certain set of city states for the pool.

If you want to check out which city states are safed in the pool than you can check the Unit-Panel in Firetuner. If you see a settler with map coordinates x = - 9999 and y = - 9999 then it should belong to a safed city state.

In the current version I think it would not work, but I could change my script to make this work.
However, you should ask yourself if your really want such a feature, because on standard speed the conversion probability is 7%. I.e. the probability that a free city converts to a city state after let's say 20 turns is 1 - (93%)^20 = 77%, which is a very high probability.
20 turns after game start is a pretty short time, so your preset free cities would convert too quickly. This is why I think it is better that this mod just converts free cities that belonged to a civilization instead of allowing to convert all free cities regardless of their previous owner. Do you agree?

Thanks for including compatibility to those who wanted to see the city names stay consistent when this event is triggered. Is there currently any way to change the name of the Minor Civ itself to whatever the name of the city currently is? (i.e if the city of Utrecht turns into the Brussels City-State, is it possible to turn the name Brussels also into Utrecht?)

Unfortunately it seems like there is no function that allows me to change the civilization name during the game. If I find a way, I will include this option in my mod - but no promises.

Would like to try this. Is it possible to download outside of Steam?

Yes, I have created a direct download link now: https://forums.civfanatics.com/resources/free-city-states.26954/

Sorry for my late reply. I had to make some updates to my mod first.

Could you post your Lua.log and your Modding.log in a spoiler please? Maybe you have some compatibility issues with my AssignStartingPlots.lua file.

It seems like your game crashed even before my mod started to work. Maybe the installation of your files went wrong. So I think you should try to download the files of my mod again or even check your game files for errors.

Ello mate is there any chance you could upload 1.3 here please ? Really love your mod, the game feels like it's missing a key component without it!
