City Border Lines?

[JRex]

Has anyone come up with a way to view the tiles a city can potentially work on?

Basically, just an overlay of the "fat cross" over each city, although a more advanced version could exclude tiles being worked on by another city.

Example:


I currently draw the borders around each of my cities using the "new line" function from the strategy layer, but it's a lot of work when you have a lot of cities, and there's no way to save it and reuse it for another session.

If I knew how to mod, I'd try something myself, but I was wondering, first and foremost, if anybody had already thought of doing the same thing, or has any ideas about it.

It doesn't seem like it should be too hard to have the game create outlines around that area, but I don't really know anything about Python scripting, or if it's even possible to do something like that.

I found a thread about this, but there's not any solution there, just discussion.

Does anyone know if it's possible to overlay some sort of bitmap onto the game screen, which would zoom in and out with the map?

Or any way for Python to create strategy lines on its own?

Or some way of saving and reloading the strategy layer? That would be great, but if Firaxis hasn't included that ability themselves, there's likely something in the code that makes it difficult.
