Previously, the Second Edition artwork style featured buildings distributed more sparsely in cities.

[[File:Crowded_Cities_C2_Example_Corners.png|thumb|right|500px| '''Example:''' This picture compares the tile corners from the base game (left) and the rounder ones from the 20th Anniversary Edition (right). The rounder corners create a bigger gap at the intersections that dissimulates the city wall interruptions caused by city-city corners.]] | |||
Some of the latest print runs of C2 and some of the C3 print runs feature tiles with rounder corners. It hasn't been reported the reason for this, and there is no consistency for the time being. | |||
Most of the latest C2 releases have fairly square corners, and most C3 releases have more rounded corners (e.g. all the mini expansions released by [[Hans im Glück|'''HiG''']]), but, for example, the C2 base game by [[Z-Man Games|'''ZMG''']] from 2019 has tiles with rounded corners, and C3 [[Variants#Big_Box_7_(Big_Box_v3.0)|'''Big Box 7''']] by ZMG or MinkOK released later with squarer corners. | |||
