	What kind of architecture is that in the new palace screen shot?! Inflate your Upload Space

quote: While the last seems to show the Egyptian Palace screen. .

Incorrect. Look closer! It seems all Imran noticed were the Sphinxs. . but i can see other kinds of architecture ranging from classical roman, to gothic, to asian to. . alot of different stuff. What do you see in there?

I think perhaps they made a palace with all the different styles to sort of show all the different styles they had, but not the full palace of any one style, what do you think?

*sorry i had to make a new thread, but nobody was looking at the other thread really.

Yes, there does appear to be different styles in the palace design.

I wonder if you can do landscaping like with the civ1 style palace??

Yes there are all sorts of architectural styles there.

Roman, Egyptian, and Japanese, just to name a few. Also a whole bunch that I couldn't name

Hopefully, like in Civ1, one can indeed choose to make such an insane fantasy-mix of building styles, regardless of the Civ you play.

If the building style is linked to your civ, it would mean more trouble for people seeking to add custom civs later on. I can see the Egyptian pyramids of the TurcoMongols rising...

Yes, I hope it will be possible to have a "multicultural" palace. It kinda looked good in civ1, at least made it more fun.

Multicultural palace, and this time different bits actually look like they could fit together!

I see a lot of different styles, I see Egyptian, Chinese or Japanese, Aztec, Greek, Roman (almost just like Greek though) and then the little towers on the sides of the main part of the palace could be English or French maybe.

Both Nazi- and Stalinist architects was much into copying and mixing different historic (mostly ancient) styles in overproportional tasteless combinations.

Personally, I would prefere building a sumptuous and elegant palace within culture-consistent architectural styles, rather then just mix-and-match all kinds of styles into something "massive" and "size-impressive" only.

Hmm. Maybe its the players free choice? Perhaps exclusive radio-buttons which determine what cultural style this or that added element should have? I hope so.

Correct. You can choose which piece of the palace to build next, and you also get to choose between different cultural styles of building for each piece. You can keep it consistent or mix and match.

Grounds are English or French Rennaissance.

Left wing- lower is Egyption, topped with Doric order Greek although some Roman aspects present.

Left link is late Medeival.

Right wing is more Greco-Roman- maybe Etruscan. Still boring Doric order, not even Ionic, or Corinthian, which would be more reprsentative of Roman.

Right link appears to be an attempt at Art Deco, but looks like bad Post-Modernism.

Centre base is primitive, may be old Egyption or an attempt at Babylonion. Not sure.

Proceeding up, we have Japanese, topped by a very fine gothic arched colonade that appear near eastern in origin, though it might be Baroque; then a Mayan pyramid and "Wren-aissance" towers for minarets.

How do I like it?

Does the term "Cruel and unusual punishment" mean anything to you?

Hey, that's not what the tower HAS to look like, As dan just said (and as should be completly apparent, if you've played civ1) you can choose the style of each piece you add.

Not the most important game-update there ever was, perhaps - anyway, in case you missed it: Read Dan Mahaga's reply further up on palace-screen building possibilities.

I hope you can choose what Architexture like in civ1. Maybe the screeb is a mix of everything

Well it is the same principle as civ1 obviously, where you mixed and matched the sections of your palace. The question is though, will it have any real influence on your civilisation, eg, increase culture output at your city containing the palace, etc, or is it just a bonus feature in the game?

I just had a very powerful nostalgia trip then again, going back to civ1...ahhhhhh...

to be honest...
i liked the thrown room of CivII to the palace of CivI, but CivIII shoud change my mind. i only played CivI (dos + windows) and colonisation after CivII from abandonware sites.
