How to swap/change a city set?

[Cilpot]

I have spent a lot of time searching forums for this, but in vain.

I would like to have the Hippus use the same city set as the Grigori. Is this this easy to implement? Just changing some XML properties? In that case, which XML files and which properties?

Also: Some city sets have "surfaces" while others (like the Amurites) do not. are these part of the city graphics or separate items?

Thank you.

PS: All credit to the creators of the city sets, they're all awesome. It's just that in my games I'd like the Hippus to have a bit more "developed" cities.

go to the CIV4CivilizationInfos.xml and change the line of the entry for the Hippus:
<ArtStyleType>ARTSTYLE_X</ArtStyleType> whereas X should be GRIGORI or whatever artstyle you like.

it is a separate file, but i am not so sure right now how to hook it up.
