[GS] Leugi’s City Styles Pack

Adds some new City Styles, Canals and Monuments for Gathering Storm, and allows modders to use XP City Styles for their own civilizations. I suggest using this with any of the mods that allow max zooming because they are pretty if I do say so myself.

IMPORTANT

This mod also includes changes for the original civilizations. However, because of limitations of how artdefines work, the new styles are mixed with the old ones. If you want to prevent this, just download these files to replace your base game files (In most cases its like "…SteamLibrarysteamappscommonSid Meier’s Civilization VI", you can also "Browse Local Files" with your steam client).

There are two variations, one with a custom increased city sprawling and one with Vanilla’s city sprawl (choose the latter if you are having CPU issues):

Increased Sprawl: https://we.tl/t-1wldeMHp57
Vanilla Sprawl: https://we.tl/t-VZ9aape1se

REPLACING THESE FILES MANUALLY IS REQUIRED FOR THE MOD TO DISPLAY ALL CITYSTYLES PROPERLY ON VANILLA CIVS

PLEASE NOTE: It’s highly suggested to make a backup of your files before replacing them with anything.

Added Ancient City Styles

• AncientClay: Round wooden-mud coloured buildings with thatched roofs, good for early African and Amazonian/Caribbean civilizations.

Added Modern City Styles

• ModernNeoAndean: Modern citystyle reskinned from the generic Industrial one, made to fit South American and Mesoamerican civilizations; inspired by Bolivia’s Neo-Andean architecture.

City-Styles from XPs for Modders

• Korean: Korea City Style.

City-Styles assigned to official Civilizations and City-States

If you want to check what Civs have what style, and also to check what Canals, Monuments and Palaces are applied to each style you can do so by looking at the following doc reference:
Leugis Civ VI City Style Cultures Guide[docs.google.com]

Aside from this, the Scottish, America, Baltic and Brazil city-styles receive their own Monument art. All ancient city styles added support the Cahokia Mounds improvement art. The replacement files also increase the Sprawling from cities slightly.

For Modders:
If you want to add support for your civilizations or want to borrow some of the assets used I suggest you check the following link:
Leugi’s City Styles Compatibility Guide[docs.google.com]

Please note, this version of the mod *requires* Gathering Storm because I had to use many of its assets as a base. If you don’t have GS you can still use the older version. Both versions are of course incompatible with each other.

Special thanks to Sukritact for the amazing Bantu palace and monument arts, and to the lads for providing feedback throughout the creation process.

WARNING: There is currently an issue that can cause crashes or glitches when playing with this mod, Warfare Expanded and the NF dlcs at the same time, apparently due to a limit in the number of custom assets the game can load. This can be fixed by disabling either this mod, WE, or some of the NF DLCs.
