Design Goal/ Overview:

The design goal for this mod is fairly simple.

• AllowSINGLEcities to specialize as Urban or Rural with significant visual distinction between the two.

• Act as a mini game expansion, which means altering VERY few vanilla systems.

This was accomplished through the use of two, mutually exclusive, new sets of districts:

• # Borough Districts (Urban Cities)

3 tiers, each unlocked as you progress through the Tech Tree.

• # Rural Community Districts (Rural Cities)

3 Versions, unlock early in the Tech Tree. Can all be built multiple times in the same city with increasing costs.

Urban cities are designed to be mid and late game powerhouses in terms of yield generation (Science, Culture, Production, Gold, Faith) that focus on district adjacencies and specialist yields; but they will require a large amount of support and resources to get there.

Rural Cities function more or less the exact opposite of Urban cities, they are entirely tile based! Though Rural specialized cities are crucial for supporting Urban cities, they are not simply JUST there for support. You may find yourself leaning more urban, or more rural in a certain playthrough, with different win conditions (and civs) leaning toward each of the two.

This however, is just the tip of the iceberg...

Mod Recommendations:

City Lights is setup to try to be as compatible with other mods as possible, so specific mod combinations are mostly up to the player.

The only mod (or type of mod) I would HIGHLY recommend as a soft requirement would be some kind of game pace slower. A light weight example would be Take Your Time Ultimate (I play with only Moderate-high Era scaling for Techs and Civics), but there are lots of others so feel free to try them out and see what works for you.
