Cities of Wonders 3 + Cities of Kings Compatch (LEGACY)
June 1st, 2025 update: the most recent Cities of Wonders update has removed the burges’ holding types in favor of having a modifier applied to counties; this means that this mod is no longer needed, unless you play with some old legacy version. I’ll keep this file hosted on the Workshop, but there’s very little, if any, use for it any more.
Simply play with Cities of Wonders 3 and Cities of Kings both enabled; they will work together.

The Compatch for Valaddar’s Cities of Wonders 3.
This allows for you to own cities as well as metropolis, though cities will inflict a demesne penalty upon reaching tier 3 and 4, as they do not hold the same kind of administrative bases that metropolis do; thus, the strategy should be to then start creating mayoral vassals. Until then, at the start of the game, all mayoral vassals have been removed and attached to their local count-level lord.
This isn’t an AI mod, so I can’t fix how the AI assigns these titles.
If you want a version without the demesne penalty, use my The Kings’ Cities Compatch.
Note: this does NOT require you to subscribe to my Cities of Kings mod; your loading order should be your favorite version of Cities of Wonder, then this Compatch
This compatch used to be used for Kurthakon’s Cities of Wonders 2 and Ambitions’ Fan Fork (for 1.8), but those editions are very old. Unless anyone really wants to backlog for to 2022 and before, as of August 2024, I will only be updating for CoW3.
