Feature request: Smaller plaques with city names in the main game map

[Kzer-Za]

Before creating

• This is NOT a gameplay feature from Civ VI, BNW, or outside - see Roadmap
• This is NOT a gameplay feature from Vanilla Civ V or from G&K - If so, it should be a comment in Missing features from Civ V - G&K #4697

Problem Description

Currently clickable the plaques with city names (the ones you should click to select the city) are very large. If you are zoomed out, the name prevents you from seeing units on the tiles to the left and right of the city and also prevents you from clicking on these units: clicks instead go to the city-name plaque. You have to first zoom in and only then you are able to see those units and click on them.

Desired Solution

Make the plaques of non-selected cities the size of 1tile and display only the first letter of the city name. Only when you click on the city tile and thus select the city, the plaque is expanded and displays the full city name.

Alternative Approaches

Make the plaque semitransparent (so that you can see the units on the right and left of the city) and non-clickable (so that you can click on those units). To select the city you have to click not its name plaque but the city tile itself.

Previous attempts to do something like this left the zoomed-out map basically unreadable.
I'm open to anyone else who wants to have a go at this.
