Starting Free Cities [R&F]

Description
Start the game with Free Cities already on the map, ready for anyone to convert with loyalty or military force.

Choose the number of free cities you want with a slider on the Advanced Setup screen, from 1 to 100.

The cities will be scattered randomly across the map, a minimum of 5 tiles apart from each other and from player start locations. If there isn't enough space for the number you chose then it will place as many as possible.

Requires the Rise And Fall DLC.

Tested and working as of march 2025. I have around 80 mods active and its working fine. The only thing is when using with the Historical Spawn Dates mod the barbarians have their unique names removed, not sure what the conflict there is.

I have created an extension mod: Starting Free Cities - Cooks
* Correct count of Free Cities (off by one)
* Support for the mod Free City States

@HandyVac feel free to include this in your mod if its to your liking.

Bro, this mod hasn't been updated in years. I doubt it will be any time soon. The dev hasnt even been seen in a while. Great concept, but may be incompat with the new Barbarians mode anyway

Sadge this used to be a great fundamental mod now it doesnt even spawn free cities at all anymore

Bro, this mod hasn't been updated in years. It's not compatible with the game as it is.

Im experiencing a interesting thing in my guy.

The free cities are gaining more defence strength every so often, no in correlation with population.

For example, im near the start and all there cities have 26 strength in 2465BC, they started with -10, then it went -5, then 10, then 26......any idea why this is happening.....if its part of the mod its ridiculous, as now the free cities are stronger then any civ in the game....

All sounds good but flipping them through loyalty would be too easy (unless they have loyalty system in place too)
And by military too easy as well - unless they build walls and units in a good timely manner

But because it hasn't been updated for so long we will never know ;)
