Dear me, are you getting a little angry here 
Btw, if you want Troy to be the only city of trojans, I am sure you can give it a larger than normal size. But it would mean that an enemy unit may actually appear inside the city when standing next to it.

Best way to solve that problem would be to make extra wall units using Kinboat's walls... it'll provide an extra ring of defense as well.

except one would have to modify those wall-units. They are a little, um, medieval 
BUt who knows, a little tinkering an dwe'd have a greek/trojan walled city

On the other hand we could use the larger than normal troy city graphix and surround it with a transparent flc called trojan city wall. Give it a defense of 10, or 12 and a non lethal defensive bombardment. That outta keep those invading ruffians out.

bombshoo, I hate your avatar.
Secondly, I don't think you'll need any invisible set of walls. Wouldn't just knocking off the towers suffice?

And yes, it would suffice but you are talking to a guy who makes lazy look like ace ventura on a caffeine overdose.

And I'm watching Ace Ventura right this second ironically.
Xen: So then Troy shouldn't be just one city then..?
Nope, the Trojans controlled a fairlly large region, larger then any one Mycenaean state in greece proper, witht he exception of Mycenae proper, and Crete.
Yout hen have to account the nations ruled in proxy by Troy, notbaley nations like Dardania, which was ruled By Aeneas, closelly related to the Royal house of Troy
then thier are the firm allies, a good deal of which should just be lopped under Troy Proper, or that of its better (indipendent allies)...
The Trojan war was just that; a war, not a mere seige of a city, thier were fights out int he feild, and a tleast once the Trojans turned the tide of the battlkes, by makign the greeks go on the defensive...

True; Troy is a legendry city. Like Atlantis, but more of a city-state than an island-state.

Troy wasnt really known as troy in the ancient world; it way addressed as Illium, and not only do we have the firm site for Illium, but we have documents from an egyptian report of allied chartio contingent servign with the Hitties at Kadesh, to the eventual Roman foundation of a colony on the site; not only that, but the city has had over 9 incarnations, many fo them in the bronze age, and several fo those bronze age levals show that the city had been sacked; which co-incides nicelly that there were in fact two" trojan wars", one led by heracles that resluted int he death of most of the royal familly, and the looting fo the city, and then the classic war of troy.
theres plenty of evidence to prove troy existed

Not anywhere close to Atlantis because Troy, although it wasn't called that at the time, actually existed. There's no real room for speculation anymore on whether the state that inspired Homer existed. Atlantis has much, much more room for speculation.
