Here is the completed version of my Korean city graphics.

The progression is as follows:
Ancient - The "Three Kingdoms Period" (18 BCE - 661 CE) -> Unified Shilla (661 - 935 CE)
Middle - Koryo Dynasty (918 - 1389 CE)
Industrial - Choson Dynasty (1392 - 1910 CE)
Modern - The Republic of Korea (a.k.a. South Korea)

There are some anachronisms in the city graphics (such as Deoksugung Palace appearing in the Koryo Dynasty graphics) since many buildings that predate the Choson Dynasty either cease to exist (due to the Japanese invasion at the end of the 16th Century or civil wars when dynasties collapsed) or are reconstructions using Choson-style architecture. I had to "guess" what the buildings should look like. :crazyeye:

Here are two in-game previews. The first is the Choson Dynasty and the second is the Republic of Korea. It's in GIF format, so it's a bit grainy.

Very good work Odedai. You are fantastic and a dedicated creator. You and Redalert are hard shoes to fill.

Glad you like it. :) I'll be re-doing the Chinese city graphics next since I never completed them.
