City View Zoning
City View Zoning
We need more options for this.
We should be able to place the buildings where we want!
The arrangement could be used to determine which buildings are destroyed in war.

Yeah, maybe, not a bad idea, but it should be made, once again, optional, because for some it would add that loathsome burden of micromanagement, and IMO it would no longer be Civ3 but SimCity 4000, with multiple cities

Yes, optional.
but it wouldn't really turn into Sim City 4000, all you would be doing is some major zoning of residental and the important buildings... More like Sim City I

But you would still be organizing happiness, level of crime, culture, and other things similar to SimCity... But OTOH, that is standard for Civ.
It looks like that if Firaxis would want to implement all these optional characteristics into the game it would take at least six more months, and maybe reprogramming the whole game
About "decining which ones get destroyed at capture"... That would mean that it also would be necessary to calculate which direction the attack comes from. Maybe there should be a whole different screen for attacking into a city, instead of destroying all the units in the city and then marching in?
(For the record, this might be a confirmed property of the game which I'm not aware of. Refill my information if needed )

hey, in all honesty, everyone wants this "optional" crap.
THERE WOULD BE A BAJILLION TOGGLE SWITCHES!
firaxis will put in what they like.
but hey, it's too late.

They should have 5-6 different possitions for every building and place them randomly.

Ya'know, since Sid "snuggled-up" with the creators of SIM City (for the production of SIM Golf), these "optional" ideas might just make it into a later game release...like CIV4 (or even SIM CIV)! Just some food for thought.
Ciao!

Such a micromanagement would be borring(except if you're playing OCC)Also remember al those things have to get in the save-files.With all those little addidions(optional or not) you'll get save-files of some Mb instead of (what is the max now)300kb.

I'm hesitant about adding more micromanagement. I don't think it would add to the experience much, especially as I want to run an empire, controlling the economy and armies when I play Civ, not be city planner. Besides, I always viewed the City View as fluff, not actually contributing to the gameplay, just the gaming experience.
