I have to say that the 3D city views in EUIII and Rome look sorta meh. The rest of both games looks shcweet, yet when I click on a province, that little city view is an eye sore. Maybe change it back to 2D like in EUI/II

I think that the 3d city would be better if it didn't stick halfway into the ground or be inside a mountain or something, but what do I know I like the Vicky graphics the most

While I have to agree with you about the Vicky graphics, that was not the topic. These posters refer to the little 3D picture of your city which appears whenever you click an inhabited province, which depicts all the buildings there. Then, when clicking on a building, it zooms in and shows a rather nice (though generic) model of it.
o I do like the city view in EU3, but you won´t click it more than twice for each building, so it´s a feature that ensures the artist´s pay, not the game´s playability. I´d rather drop it for better AI or gameplay features.
There is nothing wrong with the feature per se, being able to zoom into your city is nice I guess. However, I agree with Pal, it adds very little to the playability.
But the way they implemented it (judging from screens and trailers), it seriously drags down the overall graphical appearance of the game. It looks awful.
Something should be done about it. If Paradox wants to have it, they should make it look better. The way it stands now, it's an eye-sore. Not a positive thing.

Not better. Cheaper, faster, and easier to change for the developer. Which is why you don't see many commercial games with 2D graphics.shasla6 said:
I agree, however, with the general assessment that the city screen is pretty much a useless feature as-is.

Oh, I didn't understand thanks for the clarification, The 3d city is ok but it could look better, I have never really studied it and I have never used for anything, As long as it does justice the the grandeur of the great architecture that was awesome and cool and great and grand that the Romans had it will be fine
I think the biggest issue is that a cities look seems to be based on the factions culture not the in province culture.
It looks dorky. Maybe if it were a bit more high-poly, and less uber generic. I mean, it would be nice if it was more sort of like the thing in RTW, where you see little people walking around and the city doesn't look like a bunch of blocks and ugly stuff.
It is somehow useless and it does look rather ugly. It would be better to just get rid of it as it looks like it is taken from a game released in 90s...
or have at least the option to deactivate it. i always hate it how it takes up large amounts of space so that i can see less of the map while it offers no real informations for me.
so get rid or give the option to hide it.
