Not because I like the idea of a palace more than a throne room, but because there was no choice as to the appearance of the throne room. The palaces in Civs 1 and 3 allowed the player to mix and match the architecture of the palace.

But it was ugly if you did mix them.

I'm not even sure if I can install the game again. The last time I saw the CD was when I was packing it into some box to get ready to move... now where did I put that box


Wasn't the movies just placed as .avi files on the CD? So you don't actually need to install the game to see it... of course you wont be able to see them talking to each other

Sense of achievment is an important part of a Civ game, but you can satisfy only the warmonger, looking at your expanding colour on the minimap...

So we needs Palace, or Throne, or Statue, or a growing harem of beauty (female or male, as you like, for Political correctness)...

Just to offer food for minds, what about a kind of "museum gallery" showing picture of your civilization success?

Starting with a kind of graffiti on a stone (e.g. for the first battle victory, then the painting of a wonder, a statue of a great people to remember (gold era trigger), then photo of a first discovery, then movie clips of a relevant diplomatic agreement...

I mean, for a new achievment we can have slighty different style of this "artistic memo" according to current level of discovery.

A minimalist version of the wonder movie, indeed, just putted on a "palace/culture place/holy place wall".

I used to like to mix-and-match, especially if I was playing the Mongols. The ecclectic style seemed to suit them.

I wouldn't mind if they did a mix-and-match version of the throne room.

I loved the palace in all its versions. Should not just be retained, but expanded - more choice of elements (a nice Renaissance fountain with Tritons on the front lawn, please) so we can live out or delusions of grandeur in stone. But also affected by civil unrest and discontent - anything from the populace painting slogans over your front wall to burning down the west wing. And yes to a revival of the armies marching through conquered cities - how about the destruction of a rival civilisation being accompanied by occupation of the enemy palace, toppling of the statue of the leader outside, and looting the place for an art treasure to add to your own residence? Of course it's silly frippery and eye candy, but as others have said, the whole game is a diversion, and it's the colour that gives it character.
