There are two options I'd like to see added to the radial menu of civic structures (especially decorative ones):


1) The ability to rename them once placed. At present lots of structures revert to the default item name (e.g. "large garden") if they are redeeded. It would be much better from a RP POV to be able to name all those statues, fountains and gardens.


2) The ability to set lighting options for Civic structures. Street Lamps have been removed from lots of cities due to the max. structure restriction (31 for a Metropolis). Some gardens have small areas of lighting - could this be expanded to compensate for the loss of street lighting? Statues and fountains, as well as gardens would be able to provide lighting in place of street lamps. This would have the benefit of providing lighting to Cities but also of keeping the number of objects down as far the database goes.

Yep - the house lighting would be a good idea but it could potentially look a little bit like Las Vegas.


Maybe restrict outside house lighting to a Merchant skill option of some sort?

I'll second the need for the ability to rename civic structures. Talath is lucky in that there are 3 architects living within the city. For those not so fortunate it could be quite a hassle to track one down and get them to custom craft a given streetlight/garden/etc...

As for more lighting, what about adding a light or two on the front of each house. No new structures introduced, more light. This also follows your have gardens shed some light idea.
