That's a definite consideration, but then you introduce localization issues (although we might already have such issues).Could you please add separating commas when displaying large numbers? In the Moscow screenshot, the tooltip displays the population of Moscow but all digits are just lumped together so it's really hard to read...
Certainly; the poppercent command supports negative percentages.Eraclio said:
City views are now linked to cultures through a tag. Example in the cultures DB file:
italian = {
city = MIN
buildings = MIN
color = DarkGreen
}Included exactly how we discussed it.P.S. I made the same suggestion to YodaMaster abotu one year ago, but it didn't went further due to me being too busy/lazy and laking the appropriate skills. It would be great if the devloppers would consider my humble suggestion.
Would be great if different styles for various nations allowed not only this simple "latin" or "muslim" groups. Than you could release this as a separate mod.I am wondering, since you are at improving the city views: will it be possible to have different city styles instead of just 'latin' for the 3/4 of Europe? I'm not asking the devloppers to create new buildings for every nations, but just maybe to enable a feature allowing different city styles per country/culture.
This would allow an interesting feeling to the game, indicating even more cultural flavor.
Modders can take care of making them: here is my attampt at creating diverse city styles using graphics from the old 'Cossack' game:
My attempt for Austria, France, Italian minors and Spain. I have a few more countries done (Poland, German minors, England, Portugal, Denmark, Sweden, Hungary, Netherlands).
There is two potential approaches:
-By working trough countries, each time you load a country it would have its specifical buildings.
-By working trough culture, there could be different city styles within multicultural countries (exemple: Polish buildings in Austrian-owned Galicia). This could be great, especially since we know that the small cities on the map will be different according to their cultures (so it is do-able and in line with the spirit of this game).

I love this idea. Especially because I have a sentiment for Cossacks: European Wars as wellI am wondering, since you are at improving the city views: will it be possible to have different city styles instead of just 'latin' for the 3/4 of Europe?

. General_Grant, release this as a mod ASAP!
It's pretty easy - a matter of modifying text files. Map colours are stored in a format like this:
Blue = {
color = { 50 100 250 0 }
color = { 25 50 175 10 }
color = { 20 40 70 40 }
color = { 0 0 0 60 }
}Because the map uses four different layers with possible different depth for each province. The layers are combined for display and this structure allows gradients.But why not 3 values instead of 16????
