I hope this is added

I guess I wasn't clear enough. What I wanted to see is that the surrounding tiles get utilized better. if you look at the screenshot above, the surrounding tiles aren't as much "used" as the central tile just spilling over to the surrounding ones. I'm not asking for accuracy, I just want a better sense of scale.

I belive in this case clarity trumps aesthetics/realism. It is more important to be able to see what tile enhancment has been built than to have cities spread around. And unnecessary clatter would make that more difficult.
