Top 5 Cities

[Zabba149]

Is it possible to view the Top 5 cities in Civ 3 during the game and not just at the very end?? If not, I think that is a feature that should DEFINITELY be included in the Conquests XP. I loved the Demographs in Civ 2 where you could measure your progress THROUGHOUT the game against the other civs in 15 or so different catagories!! In Civ 3 you just get a general picture of where your civ is in relation to the others 3 times a game. This might be ok for an RTS game, but not for a TBS!!
