	Palace view Increase Your PM Length

Okay, this is sad, but I'm currently playing an epic game with plague enabled, which means (and I think this is meant to be) that I get no palace view. I always enjoyed my humble subjects gratefully upgrading my residence in tribute to my enlightened rule (or the pile of enemy corpses).



As I'm missing this at the moment, Iwonder if anyone has achieved the ultimate palace (and how would they know?) in a game. Whatever the victory I've achieved, I've always still had improvements available - so just how good can that palace be?......post your images here?

The ultimate for me is that I do not have to click to close the thing.

Ditto. I'm glad they did away with it.

er... am i missing something here? what "epic game with plague" means?

Plague is not part of the epic game and must be added. It is part of some scenarios.

Epic just means a regular game as opposed to a canned scenario.

Let's see if I can remember correctly....
There are 3 pieces to the central part of the Palace. Floors 1-3.
Each side can have 2 floors plus the 2 two-storey 'connectors'. So we're up to 11 improvements now.
There's the Stairway and 2 more additions--pillars and front door. So now we have 14.
Then you can put in a lawn and then plant shrubbery.
Total of 16 palace improvements.

"Epic game with plague"...in the Conquests Scenario list is one called something like "With plague". Starts you back in 4000 BC as in the normal epic game, but activates the plague (which so far hasn't spread beyond one pop loss in only a single city on the two occasions on which I've suffered it - so it's more like a bad cold than Black Death - but the skull and whirling vultures cheer up the map no end).

Yes, that makes it a scenario and therefore no palace.

That's still not complete. You're completely missing the other two sides of the palace. It should include that main building, two corridors on the side connecting to two additional structures.

Now that I think about it I believe the statues were just in Civ2.

Vince, There are statues atop the columns if using the Greek/Roman archetecture.

What I was remembering was statues on the lawn that replaced shrubbery. Maybe my memory is faulty, its not in Civ3 but perhaps Civ2?

Civ2 had no palace view, it had a "throne room" that could be decorated with lots of things. I think it had statues too, but I'm not so sure.

That would be Civ1 you are talking about. You first got hedgerows, then trees, then marble statues. Still the best Palace View of them all.

	Suffering from ads?

I started to think "Why haven't I had a Palace addition in my current game?"

Then after seeing this thread, I realized I am playing a mod with increased chance of resources.

So no palace.

Here's an idea....

What would you guys say to an addition to the palace view build that was a "palace destruction" so to speak.

Meaning that after a really bad stint of unquelled unhappiness or if your empire suffers severe city losses from an invading army, that a screen comes up and you have to choose an element of your palace to be burned to the ground...


complete with animations of burning structures...

heh

( has this been brought up before?)

i like the idea, vee... but i think that it should be random (i mean, the palace section to be destroyed).

thanks

random is fine with me too. Just seems like a nice new twist to the standard palace part of the game.

It is pretty easy to finish the palace. I have played around with substituting various stuff so that my palace will be part Middle East/Asian/European ect. They can be pretty ugly.

Yeah, I usually used a combo of European and Hellenistic for my palace.
