Wow that is really quite amazing work, Kyriakos! Looks so realistic. Very well set out buildings. Might be the best city yet (other than the Byzantine city which is of course always the best 
).
).These cities are looking absolutely beautiful.Kyriakos, could you please draw city walls around your size 2 and 3 medieval cities, so they can be used in historical mods and scenarios, too?
Given i may create some industrial set too, it would be rather inconsistent
I mean it is an idea to have all sixe 2 and size 3 have walls in all eras, but i am not really sold on it. Besides, it wouldn't allow for the sets being used with inferior gfx (ie those not made by me now
)(other than the Byzantine city which is of course always the best
Exactly

Kyriakos, only the era 1 and 2 cities should have city wall graphics as the bigger cities of those eras had city walls (and mostly really big city walls). Please remember cities like Rome, Byzanz (and so on). They all had city walls and that is why I´m thinking your wonderful era 1 and era 2 cities are historically wrong. Even the setting in the Civ 3 game mechanics considers these cities as walled. On the other side there is no need for era 3 and era 4 cities of size 2 and 3 for having graphics with city walls as cannons made them obsolete.
The problem is, that you have created next to no city graphics for era 3 and 4 (where in my eyes it would be correct to draw them without city walls and have created many wonderful city graphics for era 1 and 2 that are haunted by missing the graphics of city walls for their most important cities (size 2 and 3).
That´s why the city graphics in my CCM mods have the following settings:
Era 1 (Ancient Age): Size 2: City walls, size 3: City walls
Era 2 (Medieval): Size 2: City walls, size 3: City walls
Era 3 (Industrial): Size 2: no city walls, size 3: no city walls
Era 4 (Modern): Size 2: no city walls, size 3: no city walls
As you love Byzanz, please answer the following question to yourself: What would have been Byzanz in its proudest days without any city walls??
Ok, yet just how many civ3 sets are there that actually have walled size2 and 3?
I guess even less than 1%, no?
If so, wouldn't it be kind of pointless? (moreover, you should know by now that i have some degree of ocd re consistency in gfx, so it would be out of the question to have some eras use walls and others not use them )
Furthermore, not all cultures had walled cities, even in the first two eras.

Kyirakos... All is Great. I believe there are many others who would Very much like to have City Walls for earlier times as this did happen
I totally understand and agree that Creators must please themselves but it would not go against you or anyone to create /provide things that others want for their purposes.
Greatness comes from what Others think of you... and how you are thought of comes from what you do for others.
Think about it as you have the knowledge and experience to accomplish what Civinator would like and no doubt Many Others would use created by YOIU.

Well, tbh i would do it, but only for money
^_^ Otherwise my ocd won't allow such break from custom.
