Sid Meier`s Civilization V :: Kutak za gamere ~ Kritike & Novosti

City States

- City-States are single-city civilizations that do not expand or try to "win" the game.

- Three types: Cultured, Maritime, Militaristic.

- The nameplate UI (shown at right) for a city state is similar to a regular city, except that the icon on the right shows the Type and is color-coded for status (red for war, green for alliance), and there is bar underneath showing current Influence.

- City-States have a Personality category. Geneva's is "Irrational," indicating that they may make strange requests. Vienna's is "Neutral." Cape Town is "Friendly." Seoul is "Hostile."

- When you first make contact with a City-State, it may give you a gift of gold (much like the Native American city-states in Colonization).

- City-States can be conquered, in which case bonuses are lost and it becomes a normal city in your empire. Except that it cannot be razed, and other civilizations may have an incentive to try to recapture it from you and liberate it.

- City-States can be friends with any civilization, but can only be allied with one at a time.

- Friendship can be gained by giving gifts of gold or units to gain influence ponts.

- If befriended, a city-state provides bonuses according to type: Culture for Cultured, Food for Maritime, and Militaristic states periodically give you military units. "There just might be Unique Units" for Militaristic states.

- Will periodically ask for favors (quests/missions) from friends. Missions might include clearing barbarians, or
attacking a rival city-state.

- Gaining greater influence gives greater rewards, eventually leading to alliance.

- Influence degrades over time, so you continually offer more help or more bribes to maintain your relationship.
Allied city-states grant the ally access to all of their resources and will join that ally in war. In this manner they behave much like Vassals in Civ IV.

- Will vote for ally in UN election (for Diplomatic Victory). Each city-state has one vote, the same as a regular civilization.

- Can be liberated if recaptured from another civilization that conquered it.
Social Policies may influence relations with city-states.

- City-States are very numerous; there are typically twice as many city-states as civilizations in a normal game.

- City-State color scheme always has black as the secondary color (as far as I've seen).
When you click on a City-State you are presented with a menu that shows information on the City-State and your current influence with them, and who (if anyone) they are allied with. There are three action buttons: Provide Gift of Gold, Gift a Unit, or Declare War.
