Hi,
I am currently making a mod aiming to add in tons of city states all around the world. The coding is not that much of a problem as I already have some modding experience, but coming up with good city states plus their unique and historically fitting traits puts me into some trouble.
So the first city states I already used as a test are some modern capitals, capitals of civs from Civ V and Civ V city states, but that felt a bit bland after a while.
This is why I'm asking you what city states you will want to see with which traits. Due to technical restrictions, I'm able to implement almost any bonuses for suzerians, but I cannot add custom improvements (also because of lacking artistic skill
)
It is no problem if the CS is located in or part of an existing civilization, as I'm planning to have the city states only spawn if their corresponding civilization is not in the game, which will be of course toggleable. So e.g. Warsaw only spawns as a city state if Poland is not present as a major civ in that game.
Here is a list of some historically interesting / influential city states I already thought about:
EUROPE
