With each new Civ they sell us, the should add at LEAST 5 more CS. Not that it would take a lot of coding to do that, but it would be more of an incentive

I still wonder what city states are Helsinki, Stockholm, Budapest. They are never been independent city states. Oslo and Edinburg might be, I'm not sure. Rio de Janeiro hardly, under control of Portugal or Brazil.

AFAIK Warsaw was never a city state either, the Duchy of Warsaw (during Napoleonic times) was a little too big for a city state. Gdańsk (Danzig) and Kraków (Cracow) are better choices for Polish CSs.

I don't know how they choose all the city states, and I may be ignorant, but some of them were totally unknown to me before playing Civ V: Almaty, Ragusa (from top of my head, but i know there was some others...)

about the "too much italian cities", IIRC, there are only 3, Genoa, Florence and Venice. To me, they were obvious choices like Vienna, Bruxelles, Prague, Copenhague, Montreal, Rio de Janeiro, Kuala Lumpur, Budapest (is there Bucarest too?), Dublin, Le Cap, Seoul...I think i saw Amsterdam too

I disagree with the choice of Stockholm, Helsinki, (I think there is Oslo too), that's too many scandinavian cities...why not Reykjavik?
There is not enough african city states (Carthage/Tunis, Nairobi, Dakar) or latin american (Valparaiso, La Havana, Panama...)
I acknowledge it's harder to find some great non-chinese, non-japanese, non-indian, non-arab, non-siamese, non-persian cities, non-mongolian, asian cities but two comes from the top of my head: Lhassa and Jerusalem...(besides Kuala-Lumpur)

I know Jerusalem is too touchy to get in, and I think there would be much debate about Lhassa being chinese (bet someone will say that Lhassa is in China!!) Finally, I don't think Kaboul is eligible to be a city state...

However, since, Oulan-Bator never was a city state (because mongolia was supposed to be a DLC), i conclude that not having Madrid, Sevilla or Barcelona, means Spain will be a coming DLC!!!

most cities in afghanistan are effectively city states even today. Jerusalem was probably not included for the same reason no barcelona, madrid, etc. I wonder if they'll have the israelis/arabs be AW or, if not, at least have a strong intrinsic dislike between them? If they don't include israel then they should include jerusalem as a CS in the patch. You could probably get 10 CS allies just by taking out jerusalem!!

They shouldn't be called city states. Only a few of them ever were. That was a poor aesthetic choice. They should be called "nations" or "minor powers" and their should be national adjectives for their units. Venice has "Venetian" units, Warsaw has "Polish" units, etc.
