Had this strange bug in our MP game. Strange because it applied only to Japanese towns and not on towns overseas (ie Chinese) that share the same icon. Strange because it must have somehow passed to the HST file cause it appears for every player/nation now.
Pocus, can you have a look at it? I believe you have access on our Dropbox.
(you can load from Argentina which is unlocked...)

this is nothing new and seems just to be back, last year USA was very prone to it in the midwest and west after a technology triggered...
hope its the known bug.

True, I believe I had seen it back a year ago or so, experimenting with earlier versions and other nations. However, will it correct by itself on a later turn or it needs a patch? That is the question...
(it's chrome, so low priority, but just for the heck of it)

you are in the end 50s/beginning 60s are you?
nay, believe to recall it will always carry forward. they used to solve it with the "next version".
but since one can link the city pictures manually, hotfix should be possible. sorry, i am to hard pressed regarding time, or i would search in my old cookbooks...

I am not sure if it is an issue of simple graphic linking done by my side (local) as it seems this change has passed to the .hst file. Loading a .hst/trn of some rounds ago shows the cities normally. I think the tech I invented was breach-loaded rifles.

yes, same last year, everything fine but suddenly they disappeared from chicago to california. back then it always happened after research, then the graphic changed from huts, to concrete build multi-story houses which were not displayed in most region, but on the map.
dont remember for asian map, but since no one reported till 1.03, might simply be back. as you asked the question about industrialization which is coded to start later (activation of techs) in Japan, issue might be similar.
