How do I make walled Cities appear?

[Hully]

Hi all

Ok, so I seem to have all the right files with matching names... rAMER.PCX, AMERWALL.PCX but when a city builds walls, the city graphic does not change?

I assume the walled graphic will appear for level 1 cities?

Is there anything in the editor or pediaticons needed to be set?

My cities have the ability to build walls and all the icons are there, but upon completion the city graphic does not upgrade?

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Walls only appear for Towns (smallest city size). Is that your problem?

Best,

Hi

Thanks, but no. The cities are level 1 the smallest.

What actually flags the city wall graphic? How does Civ3 know when to use it?

I've not really messed with the city walls before, the mod I'm working on had them stripped out... hence the problem.

Anyone?

Thanks

To elaborate: any building with a bombardment defense will be interpreted as Walls (this is different from the defense strength in say, Civil Defense) and will disappear at City Size 2.

Just in case you only have one town, they will never show on the capital city.

Right: the capital city always uses the next largest size city gfx.

Hi

Thanks all

Well I originally left out the bombardment defense but popped it back in, it did not seem to make a difference. As I only did a quick check, with my ONE city... my capital... oops!

Will recheck thanks

Is there also a way to have walls appear in a cities that are City sized?

Also, would it be possible to have a city with walls and have buildings built slightly outside the wall instead of having them disappear? Like have the walls when the city is town sized, then keep them but add a few buildings outside? Like they were built outside after the walls were finished?

I'd imagine there'd need to be specifically designed city graphics to have that though.
