Graphic Request: Palace Background Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

Remember back when Civ 1 was out, your people wanted to celebrate your glorius rule, and decided to improve your cave.
It was an ugly brown cave, but after your third improvement to the palace, you could cover up that ugly cave completely, and instead have a real palace on display.

Forward 10 years now to Civ 3.

Again, we start out ruling from our ugly brown cave. But now, the first improvement only covers some of that cave. Put an improvement above, and it covers the cave's roof, but the cave is still showing *behind* our new palace. Put improvements to the side of the palace, and the stone monoliths *still* manage to stay in view.

Its only near the time the palace is complete that the background cave *finally* disappears from view.

The solution: Edit the background picture, so the first palace improvement hides the entire cave from view, so we can at least pretend that the cave has been improved, rather than our people deciding to build a palace in front of a cave

The background picture is located in Civ3\Art\PalaceView\pkgr.pcx
It would need 2 stone monoliths shortened, and 1 cave made a bit shorter.

The catch: This would require someone with graphical talent, and a bit of time spare. While time isnt a problem, my lack of talent is
So im putting this to the Apolyton community: Is someone able to do this mod??

Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

Here's one for ya.

I had to edit the lawn01 file too so it would match up to the background.

The way I did it, the "bridges" on each side (the parts that connect the middle part to the left and right ones) don't cover up the monoliths, but the side parts do. I could've just removed them completely, but I dunno.. I liked them somewhat.

Sorry for the lack of a preview pic, but I can't log onto my site's FTP for some reason.

Oh, and I haven't playtested it yet, but I did the palette correctly for transparencies and all, so it *should* work.. I'll give it a test run as soon as I can.

EDIT: FTP's fixed, so here's the preview pic:
