  • City has walls? You can tell from the icon.

    I notice that cities with or without walls are different (for most of you it is not a news but maybe somebody doesn't know). But I can't tell if the city has other things, like coastal fortress, airport, etc. Anyway, you don't need to waste a diplo to check if a city has walls, that's for sure.

      The difference is: cities with walls have walls in their icons.

        I just looked and you can see a little wall.

        Look at 2 cities the same size

            How long have Xin and Smash played Civ 2?
            Das Wasser soll dein Spiegel sein
            Erst wenn es glatt ist, wirst du sehen
            Wieviel Märchen dir noch bleibt
            und um Erlösung wirst du flehen.

            The water shall be your mirror
            Only when it's smooth you will see
            How much fairy-tale is left for you
            And you will beg for deliverance.

                I pats myself on the back for knowing that cities with walls can be distinguished by their icons. I sincerely regret that it hasn't made the slightest bit of difference to my tres ordinaire play.

                  Xin Yu has played the game forever. He is one of the leading experts on the game. But this subject came up in another thread, and as usual for Xin, he wanted to make sure the new people were aware of it. You can always count on him to figure out all the strange stuff. I even learn new things from him on occasion, and I also have played forever

                      Maybe Xin is trolling for MP suckers. Can you say "hustle"?

                        Xin doesn't need to hustle... He plays with our bunch all the time (assuming he ever gets a home connection again)

                        But now that you mention it... WAIT A MINUTE

                          And just to screw you around completely wallwise, when you build the GW (if you're so inclined), every new city you build has a wall in its icon, even though there isn't a wall there in reality. Which makes checking and building real walls in your pseudo-walled cities (if you're so inclined) after the expiry of GW a real pain in the ... wall.

                            Are my eyes (and or memory) deceiving me or does the capital city of a civilisation have the icon normally used by a city of greater size than it (the capital) currently is. Sorry about the dispicable grammar - I'm shattered this morning.
