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 :p)

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
  • Belgrade - Serbian capital - Suzerian bonus: Recieve +1 amenity in each city with an encampment district (this is only a test, can be changed)
  • Budapest - Hungarian capital - No bonus yet
  • Corti - Historical capital of the island of Corsica (now French), cultural centre of Corsica and today a touristic magnet - No bonus yet
  • Florence - One of the greatest metropolises during the renaissance, cultural centre of the time, often deemed as he cradle of the renaissance - No bonus yet
  • Genoa
  • Helsinki
  • Kiev
  • Constantinople / Istanbul (probably both using the mechanic that one gets kicked out if the other one is in)
  • Copenhagen
  • Prague
  • San Marino
  • Sarajevo
  • Vaduz
  • Venice
  • Warsaw
  • Vienna
ASIA
  • Tyre
  • Byblos
  • Troy
  • Almatu
  • Tblisi
  • Persepolis
  • Kathmandu
  • Lhasa
  • Angkor
OCEANIA / POLYNESIA
  • Honolulu
  • Sydney
  • Apia
  • Wellington
I will add some infomation on each of them every now and then
