	What determines the palace view popup? Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

You know, when the popup comes and says "Your citizens blah blah palace" so you're taken to the Palace view screen where you add new improvements to it?

And does the improvements hav ean effect on anything? Or is it just for decoration?

I have always wondered that myself. Sometimes I would get a palace addition literally 2 or 3 turns after the last one, then none for who knows how long.

odd

Its fun. Mix and matching the pieces is entertaining, and a nice interlude to the game.

Culture would seem to be part of it, as you can often get upgrades in the early game when you get a Wonder. Otherwise military conquest seems to do it too...

	Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

Fun, Yep yep. I can't find a way to mix the Gothic architecture with anything else though, those dark brick are just too overpowering. And, the maya-style palace for the most part only looks good on its own.
Hello, Firaxis?: I wish there were more architectural styles.

From the way I see it the palace pop up shows when: I kill my first barbarian (I always set it to raging barbarians ), one of my city borders expands, my armed forces increases in number, or my population starts celebrating we love the whatever day. I wonder if it is civ dependent ...

	Tired of ads?

culture is my guess. I started one of the scenarios in multiplayer- I may have started it the wrong way (I have no idea how to set up scenarios in multplayer). I had the option to build many palace improvements as one (this was the WW2 Pacific scenario). I'm guesing this was because of the empire being at a certain cultural level.

Probably different kinds of events.

I'm 100% sure:
- 1st time city attacked by barbarian and barbarian is repulsed

Those I'm almost 100% sure:
- 1st Barb camp destroyed.
- Gov switch to higher Gov type ever experienced. (*)
- 1st time you make peace.

Unsure:
- #cities > Threshold
- Pop. > Threshold
- 1st time you declare war.

(*) tell this one to modders, cause when they put a new Gov type at the end of the list, it will be seen as a 'higher' gov. type.

Presumably going from Democracy to Feudalism would give you a palace upgrade then, given that feudalism is the last on the list...

Just decoration. In fact, this has been removed in Conquests, thankfully.

Not in the epic game, just the scenarios. Play the regualr game of conquests and the palace is still there

No it's not. I've played several games epic games with Conquests, and not once has the Palace View come up.

that's cos you suck. no not really, but it does come up. You might have a unique problem, like I do with another aspect of the game.

I would like the option of destroying my palace in the palace view screen.

Or even better, watching the AI's palace get destroyed by my tanks Well that would be if the ai did not magically get a new palace when I take their capitol

Yeah that would be fun, there is something great about leaving their cities in ruins and to be able to see their palace crumble...

ah well small things do amuse small minds

Gift them a city with the great wall and you can knock their palace down with arty fire.

The Palace can be 'destroyed' in this way but its effects are the same. Have not yet tested to see if you get periodic upgrades to your 'destroyed' Palace, or for any other dodginess...

I dunno, though. Would you feel good having three hundred gallons of sarin in the basement? All it takes is a hyperactive furnace . . .
