Yes, fog may react strangely. Better to stick to Moray there.
Without the scale command, your city will be mirrored. That is not 
immediately obvious perhaps. Without the scale, rotation becomes positive 
too.

Ah, yes, my Geomorph macro!! That grew somewhat out of hand :-)
Very useful, but start simple. Also, be aware that isosurfaces take much 
more time to render than height_fields.
If you want to dive into isosurfaces, be sure to visit Mike Williams' site: 
http://www.econym.demon.co.uk/isotut/ before using Geomorph. It will give 
you a feeling of the thing. There was another tutorial by Samuel Benge, but 
that site seems to have disappeared...

It probably is possible, but way beyond my skills I am afraid... The best 
way to do that would be through FullMoon 2, I think. But then, still, you 
would have a problem showing the isosurface in Moray, except for a 
placeholder.

You are welcome :-)
