Actually used paint shop pro but yes it was a pain.. a bunch of screen shots and looking at the sky to avoid too many other things getting into the view. Then I used the color channel mixer and whacked everthing but green and just kept pasting it all together. Not something I would like to do every day for sure. And I'm sure it's something that could be done, some challenges are that not all the houses/buildings are spawned at the time you take the picture etc. I have had to run back and forth to get them spawned and then do the screen shots!
So maybe it would be a heavy server load, but if we got one ONCE a DAY pre-cached, maybe ran off hours it wouldn't be so bad and would be very helpful.
or atleast something you can look that will plot a ring showing the radius of the city build area. I hate planting harvestors as a visual cue
