Which ancient city style will the American civ get in Civ3? Does anyone know why they had the classical style in Civ2? Wouldn't the medieval style have been more accurate, considering their European roots...

How about ranch style houses. Big sprawling American suburb things. Would be fun to see them in the ancient era. You Euro types could let out your warlike impules by gutting American cities.
(Or to stop being silly...they could start as teepees, then become log cabins, then Brady bunch style things.) -
Well.... I don't think there were any castles in America, nor were there pyramids or pagodas, which leaves the classical forum stuff. That seems to have the most resemblance.
At least its better than the Indians, who ended up with pagodas!

LOL. I guess it's best to just try not to think about mismatches like this.

The Americans will definitly get Iroquois-style city graphics. They are, afterall, only going to be ~10 squares away from the Iroquois starting place, anyway."I agree with everything i've heard you recently say-I hereby applaud Christantine The Great's rapid succession of good calls."-isaac brock

Either that, or they should get a civ2 europe style look."Everything for the State, nothing against the State, nothing outside the State" - Benito MussoliniComment

Re: The American Dream
Neo-classical was in style when the US was started, so most of the federal gov't buildings down here in DC are done in the classical style with columns and such. In fact most state capitol buildings are classical as well.Originally posted by red_jon

What about something western? Adobe houses, log cabins and the like.
I think that if they were going to do Federal style they'd jsut keep the Med. Ancient graphics since they closely resemble one another.Comment

Old west looking cities would be great. A size three city with a big 'Saloon' sign would be so amusing.Comment

And there could be a lot of size zero Ghost Towns

Americans are in the same "culture groups" as Iroquis and Aztec, so they are likely to get similar/identical buildings, depending upon the Firaxis creativity
It WOULD be the obvious choice if we were talking about 18th and 19th century, and not ancient or medieval times.Neo-classical was in style when the US was started, so most of the federal gov't buildings down here in DC are done in the classical style with columns and such. In fact most state capitol buildings are classical as well.

The americans should of course get the european ancient style. But actually the americans shouldnt be in the game, only indians should be in since there were no americans in america 4000bc.If you place a thing into the center of your life, that lacks the power to nourish. It will eventually poison everything that you are.

I don't think that too many of the 16 civs were fully formed 6000 years ago. (I am assuming that by Indians you are referring to Native Americans or Amerindians and not people from India, who are also in the game)
