I think you need the Assets\XML\Civilizations\Civ4CivilizationInfos file, which includes the line
<ArtStyleType>ARTSTYLE_[...]</ArtStyleType>
for each civ.

Actually I think he's looking for the CityLSystem or PlotLSystem XML files.

I think the person that you need to contact and does alot of City art is GeoModder.

i know where you can change the artstyle for civics that for example the german or england..or .. or get asian flavour buildings

but i want to make a new artstyle for specific african civics
so i can set it like in top in the civics_info in african_artstyle
(african_artstyle would include buildings for africa costumazition buildings from i-net)

i dont want to take allready existing artstyle lists
i hope you understand what i want english isn easy for me

I'm not clear what you are asking now. There are no ethnic civics... if you wanted to have some, you'd have to modify the SDK.

If I understand you correctly, you want to add a new artstyle, this is done in assets/xml/globaltypes like this;

<ArtStyleTypes>
<ArtStyleType>ARTSTYLE_EUROPEAN</ArtStyleType>
<ArtStyleType>ARTSTYLE_ASIAN</ArtStyleType>
<ArtStyleType>ARTSTYLE_SOUTH_AMERICA</ArtStyleType>
<ArtStyleType>ARTSTYLE_MIDDLE_EAST</ArtStyleType>
<ArtStyleType>ARTSTYLE_GRECO_ROMAN</ArtStyleType>
<ArtStyleType>ARTSTYLE_BARBARIAN</ArtStyleType>
<ArtStyleType>ARTSTYLE_AFRICAN</ArtStyleType> </ArtStyleTypes>

Then you have to assign the civs you want to have your new artstyle. Like this in assets/xml/civilizations/civ4civilizationinfos;

<Type>CIVILIZATION_AMERICA</Type>
<Description>TXT_KEY_CIV_AMERICA_DESC</Description>
<ShortDescription>TXT_KEY_CIV_AMERICA_SHORT_DESC</ShortDescription>
<Adjective>TXT_KEY_CIV_AMERICA_ADJECTIVE</Adjective>
<Civilopedia>TXT_KEY_CIV_AMERICA_PEDIA</Civilopedia>
<DefaultPlayerColor>PLAYERCOLOR_BLUE</DefaultPlayerColor>
<ArtDefineTag>ART_DEF_CIVILIZATION_AMERICA</ArtDefineTag>
<ArtStyleType>ARTSTYLE_AFRICAN</ArtStyleType> <UnitArtStyleType>UNIT_ARTSTYLE_EUROPEAN</UnitArtStyleType>
<bPlayable>1</bPlayable>
<bAIPlayable>1</bAIPlayable>
<Cities>

Then you have to open up the assets/xml/buildings/civ4cityLsystem.xml file and add your new cityart;

<ArtRef Name="generic:my_own_african_city.nif::1x1_01">
<Attribute Class="Era">ERA_ANCIENT,ERA_CLASSICAL</Attribute>
<Attribute Class="ArtStyle">ARTSTYLE_AFRICAN</Attribute> <Attribute Class="Scalar">iBatchGroup:0</Attribute>
</ArtRef>

This has to be done for every new house you want to add.
Remember, all new houses has to be assembled into one .nif file using only one .dds file for the texturing. Both the .nif and the .dds should be placed in assets/art/structures/cities if I remember correctly.
