There are the new metropolis, culture and era specific.

The idea is that only on modern times cities growth to metropolis, in other eras the only
metropolis is the capital. So I have decided to insert some landmark to capitol cities, to
simulate the great buildings made in this sites.
  1. Asian
    • Ancient times: forbidden palace
    • Middle ages: Angkor wat + Himeji(?) castle
    • Industrial era: Taj Mahal
    • Modern times: none :( (for next release could be Tokio tower or China bank)
  2. European
    • Ancient times: Stonehenge
    • Middle ages: Notre Dame + Globe theater
    • Industrial era: Buckingham palace + Newton college + Tour Eiffel
    • Modern times: Tour Eiffel + Berlin tower
  3. American
    • Ancient times: Chichen Itza + sacrifical alar
    • Middle ages: puritan church + Colonial port (ok, american middle ages sucks!)
    • Industrial era: Wall Street + Empire state building + Statue of Liberty
    • Modern times: Empire state building + Statue of Liberty + Congress
  4. Middle eastern
    • Ancient times: Hanging gardens + Ishtar gate
    • Middle ages: Kaaba
    • Industrial era: Hagia Sophia
    • Modern times: Baghdad war memorial
  5. Mediterranean (not great changment, I have used my ready-made Rome graphic)
    • Ancient times: Circus maximus + Colosseum
    • Middle ages: 1st St. Peter's chuch + la Normale (university of Pisa) + ancient Colossuem + Castel Sant'Angelo (pope's castle)
    • Industrial era: Vatican + Colosseum + Castel Sant'Angelo + Vittoriano (italian war memorial)
    • Modern times: the same

Other small buildings added (like hospitals, marketplaces and colisseums), but not great
modifications.

Special tanks goes to Firaxis, other all go to Ukas to make more of buildings insert.

Get them!

NOTE: Some changement here!
 
Very interesting idea! Two questions:

1. Where are the files :p?
2. How can you have any in the modern times, if you can have normal cities grow to metropolises in modern times?

1. One moment to edit the list :shakehead
2. This is the only bug, but my graphis are so good... ;)
 
You can use the Pearl Tower in Shanghai, China as the Modern Asian Wonder (Thrid Tallest Building in the World) , or the Twin towers in Malaysia
 
Some changement:

  1. Asian: on modern I have insert Petronas towers (thanks to mouselmm for the idea;
  2. American: on middle ages I have insert the Old state house and Quincy market. On industrial and modern Statue of Liberty resized + Washington monument on modern
  3. European: on middle ages there is now also the Tower of London, in industrial and modern the Big Ben

Good work as usual Rufus! People should really make more City Graphics methinks.

In addition to the five in Civ3, theres also

Latin American Citys
African Citys

What would be cool would be:

Indian(as in India) Citys
Native American Cities
Polynesian Citys
 
There was once a guy that was making city flics as immobile units- with your skills (gorgeaus cities, btw :D ) you could make some Capital Citiesand convert them into flics: This way, by preplacing these in scenarios (and having the "units over" cities" tag on) capital cities will be able to appear on the map, along with any land marks u add into them :)
 
A very good idea. I've always found the cities to be a bit to generic for my taste. Good work.
 
Ah, I see you used the Warehouse 4 graphic from '1602 AD' in the Medieval American graphic. I would have used the Warehouse 2 or 3 graphic, but it looks good nonetheless
