Screenshot of the Day continues with a weird-looking city view screen submitted by Bamspeedy. This is what you get when you build a city near the edge of the map:
I was playing the 180 X 180 World map for the DyP mod and I saw an island that was way up north of Russia, near the North Pole. Part of the city would be off the screen, so I went to go settle there and see what would happen. As you can see in the screenshot, it is all screwed up, but still works properly. I later settled on Antarctica and the screen wasn't split like this, but you couldn't micromanage the city as anytime you tried to, you would leave the city view and go back to the map screen.

BTW, do you know it's not allowed to build cities on polar caps in Civ3, unlike in Civ2. I don't think you can build a global railroad system there also. This is probably a good change, otherwise the AIs would waste lots of resource building a "Great Wall" on polar caps.
