Yes, that would be great. But 4 new city graphics (i.e. mesepotamian, aincient egyptian = with obeliscs instad of islamic mosque towers, different european style) in conquests would be nice too.
If it's too much work then how about just making it possible?
Change it so that you can enter in the editor's civilization tab an ini file that contains references to the various city pics. In the basic game these would just point to the current graphics, e.g. the Egyptians and the Persians would have identical settings. However, the industrious modders in CFC
could then create their own pics for various civs and share them with others quickly creating a library of hundreds of different city pics.
And why a parameter file instead of a direct reference to a graphics file? Because then we could mix and match pics from various sources. A really good parameter file would also allow new possibilities, for example the basic game out of the box could have:
Meaning you have only three different pics: towns (1-6), cities (7-12) and metropolises (13+). Like it's now. But the configuration would allow someone to make different pics for each city size if he wanted.
Of course we could also define different pics when a city is in WLTKD, in disorder, etc.

im too lazy to change it in the editor. it would be cool if the put it in though.
Unfortunetly, personaly i am a computer (dumbster)..ahm..beginner, but if i understand correct what you mean about this issue it would be realy GREAT!!! If i only think of possibilites...in that case the game would have a completly diferent dimenssion for me. That way when you add some new Civ of your own to play, you can create the cities looks whatever you want!Originally posted by Pembroke

One more question Pembroke 'couse i see you "capish" this stuff much better than me. How about a citizen face. I mean i would like to see nation with man's head as European an' woman's as Mediterenian (It will suit Serbia for exaple) or man's American, woman's Mediteranian (It will suit Brasil for example) etc...if you understand what i mean? Could that be possibile in some kind of mods?

Gone forever!
i just hope we can still view our citys
AS both an Artist and a Programmer I would Love to see the ability to change the City Graphics for Each Civ and For Each City Size and For Each Terrain Type, and Even allow for Great Wonders to be visable from outside (though that even sounds hard to me),
I'd love cities to start to Spread across and you could have 2,3,4 or even more sized cities that can be taken over parts at a time (like Berlin East & West)
I'd also love to have a different Face for each race in each city and different science/entertain/taxman faces for races too...
