City viewing (not in the game)

[Dooz]

I'm dying to see the London I've built up over the centuries, especially with that new huge cathedral I just had commissioned. The city is the envy of the world and I'll never get to see it, as it's never gonna' get attacked or anything. I sure wish it can be modded back in or included in the patch.

Got to agree with you lads,i'd love to see that feature reactivated if it was at all possible.
I was really disapointed when i read it was gone.Now i have the game i miss it even more.

I wanted to see how Venice looked in-game , I was very disappointed when I realized that this button was not an option (along with the "Set as Faction heir" button)

[Ignoramus]

That is disappointing. Especially since the settlements are supposed to be more diverse than RTW.

quite, all this work gone into creating unique settlements like Krak du Chavaliers, Canearvon, etc, and no opportunity to see it in all its glory.

is there any technical reason why the feature ws abandonned, and if not, might we see it return in a patch?

[Tamur]

I agree with several above in this thread: the atmosphere of the cities is really tremendous, much better than Rome, and it's a big loss not to be able to experience it without seige equipment.

Technically it's a matter of kicking on the battle map (already done), getting peasants and such to walk different paths at random (not terribly difficult), and that's about it. I'm guessing they simply ran out of time for it. I doubt it will be added in a patch though - major functional additions like that equal expansion-pack material.

It's a shame they got rid of this feature after all the work they've done to improve the look of settlements.
