No, I meant if we also were blitting a "ground" image underneath the city 
images. That way, we would be blitting two images (one for the city, one for 
the ground) for each city blitted.

See, I originally wanted the ground color to cycle like the cities (kind of 
like it used to in the old Missle Command). But now I'm thinking it probably 
would just be simplier to draw the ground directly onto the background images 
to save blits and make life simpler.

I'll see if I can come up with some background images with ground overlays 
that I like. I'll let you know when I get them.
