Drawing a city every time you add a new color gives some nice incentive to board destroying cards such as Coal.
I also like that only splays that do something get cities. Would be nice to have a small little engine with one card that splays up and one card that splays right. If you can endorse those with your Cities, they'll keep rolling in. The Arrow icon on cities will usually get you a free city too, which is nice.
Do we know what defines Icon Dominance though? It's 12 clocks for the World achievement. Do you need 12 for each (12 castles seems difficult), or something like: At least 4, and double all other opponents?
I'm also a bit confused by the special city action when the top center is a standard icon. So Age 2 Base from a Age 2 city, 3 Base 3 from an Age 3 city, etc? By age 10 it's looking at the whole pile and if there are any Clock cities, that will end things fast.
Would be neat to draw 1 Base, Echo, and Figure, substituting Base for any expansions you aren't playing with. That way you get some cool cards rather than a bunch of Base, and possibly Teching up your opponents.
Just some random thoughts.
