City & Town Specialization (Ucho’s CTS)

Forge Unique Empires with City & Town Specialization

Dive deeper into the strategic development of your Civilization VI empire with the City & Town Specialization mod, affectionately known as Ucho’s CTS. This comprehensive overhaul breathes new life into city management, ensuring every settlement, from humble towns to sprawling metropolises, plays a distinct and meaningful role in your civilization’s destiny.

Defining Your Settlements

Gone are the days of homogenous cities. Ucho’s CTS introduces a compelling specialization system that grants your settlements unique identities. This system is inspired by concepts designed to make every city feel truly special.

Town Identity: Small but Mighty

As your nascent settlements grow, they can embrace one of eight distinct town specializations when their population is nine or fewer. This choice is permanent, permanently imbuing the city with a specific purpose and unlocking a unique, repeatable project to further its role. Completing these initial town specialization projects offers immediate benefits, such as a free Builder, setting the stage for dedicated development.

Key Town Specializations include:

• Agricultural Town: Boosts Food yields from Farms and Plantations.
• Mining Town: Enhances Gold from Mines and Quarries.
• Fortress Town: Accelerates the production of city defenses like Walls.
• Trade Town: Increases Production towards establishing Traders.
• Religious Town: Generates bonus Faith based on population.

These town-specific projects, when repeated, can offer cumulative bonuses, such as increased city growth across your empire or valuable resource gains.

City Powerhouses: Specializing for Greatness

As your cities surpass a population of 10, they unlock dedicated specialization slots at population milestones of 10, 20, and 30. This allows you to cultivate truly specialized urban centers. Whether you aim for a military juggernaut, a hub of scientific discovery, a vibrant cultural nexus, or an industrial powerhouse, the City & Town Specialization mod empowers you to tailor your cities to your grand strategy. Each specialization level further amplifies its benefits, with a Level 3 specialization offering a significant boost to its designated field. These specialized cities also unlock enhanced repeatable projects, allowing them to contribute directly to Great Person recruitment and specific yield outputs.

This mod adds a layer of depth to city planning, making population growth a truly rewarding strategic endeavor. Even when population fluctuates or cities change hands, their hard-earned specializations persist, adding historical weight to your empire’s development.
