What are the rules for a city appearing in the city list? As the Union, I've captured a couple of cities in VA and only one - Richmond, appears on the city list. On the other hand The AI had captured a couple of Kentucky cities, the Union took them back but they still don't appear on the city list. In all cases I can access the cities with the cursor and build and produce that way.

Well, I had plenty of saved games to prove the above but that was when I ended playing last night. I could even reload those games and the cities would still be missing from the city list. Just now I restarted the game and all the cities are appearing on the list. I loaded other saved games from previous turns that last night had the same syptoms but now they all see all the cities. It appears that exiting out of the game and restarting and/or rebooting cleared the problem.
 
I'll play a few turns to see if it happens again.

I've had a problem that was also solved by reloading the saved game. In the Events\Production tab cities would not be listed. Then I would exit and reload the saved game and they would appear.

I've seen the same problem. It seems that once the city list is displaying one of the eight categories selectable by the lower right buttons, there is no way to display a complete city list without exiting and reloading the game.
 
Maybe an <All Categories?> button&nbsp;should be added to the selection.

!I haven't run across this one yet but I have had Lexington dissappear after being retaken twice! Sucks tho.... Had to restart the whole game

I'll try to duplicate this, thanks!

I reported same back in early April:

3) Standard scenario, BASIC game, Kentucky went CSA when I was playing Union. I took the three cities and only the FIRST city I took appeared on the CITY LIST, the others weren't listed. The others did not appear on the City List and thus had to use other interfaces to build/produce. However, when I saved and reloaded the game, these cities then DID appear on the City list.

Update: If you click on one of the selection buttons "twice" it brings back the full list... Duh!&nbsp;LOL!

Very strange... I have not run across this yet.

Are the filter buttons on your city list screen displaying properly?&nbsp; It should remember the settings when you close it and reopen it.&nbsp; If the appearance of your filter buttons is resetting when you reopen it, that might be the problem.

When I exit and reenter the list screen, it remembers where I left it just fine.
For me there is no problem any more, I discovered all I had to do was click any filter button "twice" in succession and the "full" city list displayed. (v1.94)
Now as to disappearing per <cesteman - Lexington> above, I have not had that problem myself, yet

I had Memphis disappear from the map during play yesterday after it had changed hands several times. I don't have a save to show however, just chalked it up to the city getting torched during so much fighting.
