I was thinking about a scenario set in a city during an econmic crisis, and revolution breaks out. Not only do the (barbarian) anarchists get in the way, but the Communists take to arms, the reactionary Corporations set up a fascist organization to counter this, organized crime is trying to hold it's own. The government is trying to keep control, but the some citizens aren't satisfied with the government's actions, and have set up a vigilante program that sometimes comes in conflict with the police! The militia, seeing government exercising too much power, also rises up against it and other unlawful groups (this in the rural outskirts of the map). Such a collection of civs and the possibilities I think could make this a very good one, don't you think? I'm still thinking about it, but it's too big for me alone, because a lot of new art is probably necessary.

What you just discribted seems to me very similiar to what was happening in Berlin after the 1st World War. There were streetfights between left and right groups, the police and the army had to keep some under controll and so forth...
I've been long thinking of making such a scenario and I have done some "research" into some possible events but most of them would require me to make new grafics for the buildings, etc. and I am just too lazzy to do that on my own.

I am pretty far in a scenario of Liege in August 1914. It was intended as a zoom-in for an older scenario by me temporarily stopped, but removed from the whole because it not being practical.
If anyone wants to take it over; it's pretty well on its way. The map has just Liege and the ring of fortresses around it.

I have thought about the Stalingrad idea... and I think it would be very do-able.
To avoid being a duplicate of the "Gangster" scenarios I would do the following. Use one of the multi square terrains (Hills for example) to make streets and another to make rubble (Destroyed buildings). Remake the city graphics so each represents only a house or a building or a factory depending on size. With or without city walls could be the same building in pristine shape versus damaged (Windows shot out, roof caved-in) (Damaged=city walls ie the building has been turned into a fortress).
Houses (=cities) would be placed over the rubble areas and very close...actually with the hex editor I think it is possible to make them touch to form "city blocks" that would allow house to house combat. Names should be hidden (It may be possible to use the background color for the text as this is separate from the flag color)(The little bar above the flag is the text color). Now add a few things like parks, railroad tracks, bridge over the Volga... Separate the airforce from the ground force (Like Second Front, to prevent planes from landing in the houses) and you have the perfect battlefield for Stalingrad!

Still, it's impossible. Exactly the same as the colour or red used in the airbase does change to the civs owning it when used in those airbases, but the same colour does not work in most other icons, and gives a normal red colour instead, it works the same for the transparent colour. There's clearly a hardcoding somewhere on what images are and what are not allowed to have transparency.
Anyway, using any of the last two colours will not make the name of the city invisible. It will just have another colour, like light blue, sometimes, or purple.
But, of course, not every house would need a name, like Peter's house, John's house... They could be simply nameless, except for the major points of recognition.
As for the food shortage that was being mentioned; simple: use food caravans. This is especially useful for cities dependent of the agriculture around it. Think of the siege of Athens by the Spartans, burning the farms.

Does anyone know of a map of the area ( I need one which covers Turkey as far east as Zonguladak, as far south as Izmir (possibley a little further north), as far west as Thessaloniki and as far north as burgas) If anyone knows of or could make such a map then that would be very much appriceated.
