Description:
City States Build Wonders

Allows City States (aka Minor Civilizations) to build World Wonders and National Wonders. Losing wonder races has never been so much fun!

This mod is vanilla-friendly and does not require G&K, BNW or any other DLC.


Download mirror for manual installations coming soon!

You can also manually download this mod through the Steam Workshop Downloader.


Mod details:
  • City States (aka Minor Civilizations) will now build World Wonders and National Wonders. They will now compete in Wonder Races with major civilizations as well as other minor civs.
  • City States have a low Wonder Flavor of 3. This is equivalent to Askia’s Songhai[civilization.fandom.com], one of the lowest in the game.
  • City States will NOT build Projects (e.g Manhattan Project, Apollo Program, World Congress projects), as they function on a different system.
  • If playing with Gaia’s Core Mod, City States will NOT build Corporations, as they function on a different system.


FAQ:

Q: Do they actually build Wonders?
A: Yes.

Q: Can I actually lose a Wonder race to City States?
A: Yes. You’ll be notified by the game’s notifications as usual if it happens.

Q: Will this mod cause bugs, crashes, unusual behavior, alien invasions etc on my save?
A: No (probably, hopefully)

Q: Do City States get the usual buffs from the Wonders they build?
A: Yes.

Q: What happens if a City State has a quest to build a Wonder and another CS beats me to it?
A: You will fail the quest as usual.

Q: City States almost never build Wonders in my game. Can I make this happen more often?
A: Yes. It’s a simple matter of editing flavors in the mod’s sttdCityStatesBuildWondersFlavors.xml XML file, as well as the compatibility files for other mods (e.g sttdFCSCityStatesBuildWondersFlavors.xml).

You can replace my chosen value of 3 to as high as 12. For comparison, Ramesses II’s Egypt[civilization.fandom.com] has a Wonder Flavor of 10.
