Thank you HellSnake, you said that you can help me adding custom textures. Please do it :D ! This is for me the best map by far.

This is actually how the map looks 8) (thanks to HellSnake. View from the Empire State observation deck :D ):

Also the Towers looks now more greyish instead of yellowish which make's them look better.

Wow ! great textures (imagine if you could do that but with the buildings ! that would be amazing !). I'm in holidays since a week ago (i'm in my grandparents home) but i'll be back soon so i can work in the map again.

You're talking about 2 different kinds of buildings. The buildings made from terrain will be difficult since you have to retexture the whole ground.

If you plan on doing that, you would have to add a textured object across the entire ground so it doesn't look like a building.

As for the buildings made of objects, know which ones you will be using for buildings. You may end up with towers that have road textures on them.

Why ? he used a texture on a object without affect the terrain. I think that this could be possible with the Towers.

What I mean is you might want to avoid using many different objects for the construction of one building. When you retexture them, the amount of objects you used is how many less you have to work for another unique textured building.

In other words, you will run out of uniquely texturable objects to use for buildings before the map is complete, resulting in some buildings looking similar and/or the same.

Mmm, there's only 3 buildings maded with objects in the map, and Twin Towers are 2 towers exactly the same so that's not the problem.
