Now, a different question... what happens if you put in unconnected graphics, i.e. magenta transparency separating different blocks?
Nope, but ONE city of Constantinople across both sides of the strait in the regular Middle Ages conquest is feasible, still.
And the castle/city siege will be accomplished with terrain gfx like in EFZI.
So with that in mind, the whole concept of using huge graphics to display overlays across the map can be scrapped... no Age of Empires huge castle sieges are possible using the larger city graphic concept.

It seems the whole city does 'disappear' when your viewscreen leaves the edge of the city center itself...
Ooh, conscript me.Yes. I'll startconscriptionasking people to join in some time soon in the brotherhood forum.
That, my friend, is brilliant. But very complicated.That's only mostly true. You could have 3 separate cities, each of which contain the same image, but centered differently. If you line it up correctly, you would have 3 different parts of the map that need to be in view instead of 1. I'm also assuming you leave 1 blank for extra cities. It's tricky, but it's better than 1 city that needs to be in view. You would also need to make sure those 3 cities are perfectly static in their population.
But hey, perhaps that's too much work.
Tom - is that castle from Baldur's Gate? I though I recognised it from somewhere.
Um, Blue...I've seen a lot of informed speculation and one or two tests with a single smaller city. Since the speculators have acknowledged that the definitive answer must come empirically I call again for a test with a full complement of cities. That would include changing eras to see what happens to the other rows in the pcx.
That's what i'm talkin' 'bout! You da man! It looks like it's the proportion algorithm (thirds across fourths down). So we've got another degree of freedom in graphics creation.It works for the whole file. You can make it any size you want.
