    No, any Wall Street building would to have the Greek-imitation architecture of the NY Stock Exhange or the Bull statue that's nearby. A bunch of skyscrapers should be included for any modern city that reaches the metropolis level (12+ pop)

      If you don't mind me asking Lorizael, what was your crime against Aployton?

      But you are right, Uber has seemed rather regressive in his posts since he has returned....

        Maybe. But when I think of Wall Street, i think of Financial District, and when I think financial district, i think tall buildings/

            But then how would you portray all six of your late-game size 20+ cities? With lots and lots of houses? The skyscrapers can't be limited to a single small wonder in one city, they're needed for all very large cities.

                6? I got at least 15 20+

                i would portray it same as in civ2. City Icons change, but houses don't

                  I think that an animated gif of a nuclear attack would look much better, especially if it used the Civ III graphics engine and was used against a city built with the Civ III graphics engine.
                  Uber was replying to my past where I claimed that if you didn't want eye-candy, you might as well ask for Civ3 in ASCII. Nothing he posted was out of place or wrong, it was a sarcastic and humorous reply, to my own post.

                  Uber's joking people, and stop whining about him being childish, Civ3 is a game, game's mean fun, just because his sense of humor isn't as "refined" as some people doesn't mean he's not a decent poster who is very commited to Civ3, maybe too committed, but that's a problem a lot of us have.

                    I agree with Ilkuul: it doesn't feel like any modern city. Looks like a few skyscrappers in a desert with a few houses and wonders placed around.

                    But oh wel... Civ III will still be great even if it has quite a curious concept of "city"

                      I know what he was replying to, I've been following the thread. And it was funny. That's why I followed up by saying how graphics would be better...

                      A little too committed?

                          Not everyone does. I like skyscraper, much more realistic.

                            I've been online for 3 hours doing guess what?
                            Trust me, it's an obsession.

                            Anyway, I think was is illustrated by the modern city view is the city and its suburbs, in which case I like it. Anyone think of that?

                              If it's a snap shot of the city and the "burbs" then where are all of the residential housing?

                                To the left of the towers there are houses. Obviously the city is not to scale. But I still think it looks good.
