    Default City viewing (not in the game)

    hi all,

    In RTW there was a nice little "View Settlement" button on the Settlement info scroll which allowed you to fly around your city and take in the atmosphere without having to worry about fighting a battle.

    That button has gone, but I'm wondering if that ability exists somewhere hidden?

    Not obviously, although it sounds like something that could be modded in as the information clearly exists inside the game.

    Have been looking for it as well. I liked that little future and with the immensely cool cities in MTW2 it would be even greater.

    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.

    Default Is there anyway to see battle map of city/castle?

    I remember in RTW, you could click on settlement details, and you could see a view of the battle map of whatever settlement you chose, but why have they not placed this in M2TW, or is it at a different place?

    I think they took it out.

    Yes they did. See this thread for a number of comments from people wishing it was still in.

    Actually,I don't understand why they took that out?
    Was it that hard then to include it?I don't think so

    Maybe the problem was knowing how far to take it. I know that with RTW there were complaints about the people in the city strolling around - not enough of them, not representative of the units in the city etc.

    On a slightly-different note, I'd find it entertaining if, after a battle, I could tour the battlefield before getting bumped back to the main map.

    I had thought for sure that this would return! No civil wars and now, no city viewing! What has the world come to?
