Invisible cities

[insurgent]

Does any of you know how to make cities completely invisible (including the city name)?

I tried changing the terrain under the city to ocean via the events file, but it didn't work.

Set the size to 0. Of course, if you don't ensure there's no food surplus, it will soon be visible again.

That easy? Thanks!

Doesn't seem to work. I changed it to 0 and it's still there...

Have I done something wrong?

 

[techumseh]

Have you set the cheat menu to 'no special view'? Once you've done that, you will still be able to see it if it's your city.

I think it's set on view entire map, but I'll mingle a little with the views, if that's the problem.

The city doesn't disappear, no matter whether I have it on no special view or any other view...

Sorry, I don't know what the problem is. I used this technique extensively in Prince of Darkness. If you want to have a look at that one, you can download it from the Spanish Civ site: http://spanish.apolyton.net/prince.zip

I did a little research. Interestingly, it seems to work with FW and ToT, but not MGE. Another reason to switch to ToT!

I guess you're right, techumseh. But no, I will keep to the old Civ2, though I enjoy ToT, I just don't want to start making scenarios in it...

How's it going with Blood and Iron?
