City Development

[The_CatSnack]

In Civ three, cities would always look the same ie every building was in the same spot. Is this the case in Civ 4?

I can confidently say that this will not be the case Catsnack. In civ4, we have been informed that it will be a WYSIWYG interface, where you can see ALL the improvements and wonders of a city on the main screen, along with a host of other buildings. Apparently, the city 'redesigns' itself every time you build something new in it.
Hope this info helps !

No you can't. In a recent Game Developer Magazine article they said that they are using L-Systems (google Lindenmayer System for way too much info) to automatically figure out reasonable city layouts.
