Nice work, as usual
Very sweet, especially the "organic" sense of growth from size to size.

skam,
Maybe if you do a grayscale and then a paste over you could make the cities look grey, add a little difference in look

here's a version I did by grayscaling then cut'n'pasting. It adds variety when contrasting it withthe incan cities...in case people plan on adding this to a mod of the MesoAmerican conquest...

Very nicely done! These structures however, are much more reminiscent of Teotihuacan and/or Mayan cities. Aztec cities had different looking buildings.
A vey good image of an aztec city (Tenochtitlan) is found here:

Here is the picture I used to make them
"Teotihuacan was a city from long ago, about 400 BC to 750 AD. It lies about twenty-five miles northeast of present-day Mexico City. The city was a very beautiful city (and still is), with the glory of all of its pyramids and temples. Of these pyramids, there were three main ones that caught the eye.
Pyramid of the Sun: This gigantic structure was built between 100 AD and 150 AD, and then rebuilt fifty to seventy-five years later. It dwarfs all surrounding structures,even though it was once taller. Here are its dimensions: 210 feet tall 738 feet across one side of the base Even though it was once 249 feet tall when it had a temple on top, it is still the third largest pyramid in the world.
Pyramid of the Moon: This structure was the first large structure built in Teotihuacan. More specifically, it was built in the Cerro Gordo Hills. It was built in the first century AD, then,like the Pyramid of the Sun, rebuilt fifty to seventy-five years later. Then, in between 150 AD and 225 AD, it was enlarged to the size that it is today.Here are its demensions:
138 feet tall 492 feet across one side of the base.
Pyramid of the Feathered Serpent:This is the smallest of the pyramids in Teotihuacan, but one of the most ravishing. It was ordered to be built in 150 AD by the ruler of that time. The pyramid was covered with huge serpent heads, each weighing over four tons each. The feathered serpent in Teotihuacan was a symbol of rulership, which explains why archeologists think that the ruler who ordered this pyramids building is buried inside."

Good Lord! 
Somebody needs to bring megafonico's picture to the attention of Rufus T.! What an incredible wonder splash that would make. Perhaps for something like "City Planning", "Monumental Architecture", or "Epic Public Works". Something like that.
