  • Which Palace Architecture style?

    Well the latest turns having been completed, and one thing (albeit minor) comes up for discussion. Screw the prepoll debate here, this is purely esthetics, so just vote.

    When the people next want to upgrade the Palace, which style shall we have it done in?

    5 day poll, and if the option comes up in the next turns, I can always take the optionwith the most at the time, can't I?

    Since we're Egypt we should use Middle-Eastern architecture.
    Another interesting question would be: should we retain the same architecture throughout the entire process of constructing the Palace?

      I didn't realise we could change. That's why I started the poll. Don't the 5 options only come up for your first improvement, and from then on they are set in that style?

        Actually, no. In one game, I had different parts of the palace done in different styles (i.e. first part was Greco-Roman, second was Asian, third was European, etc.)

        Of course, that was 1.16. I don't know if we can do that in 1.21.

            Can someone tell me how then? Every game I have ever played (all versions) has shown the 5 different choices only with the first time the Improve Palace dialog pops up. After then the 5 squares at the bottom of the screen denoting the different types of architecture are not present, and by clicking on a place you automatically build in the same style as before. Do you right-click or shift-click or something that isn't (once again) in the manual?

              MWIA - I have no idea why you can't do this. I can, and I am frequently annoyed when the game resets it to my native setting when I load a game up, as I ALWAYS use Greco-Roman.

              Btw, the ****ing thing has again removed my ability to vote, so manually add +1 to Greco-Roman.

                The 5 different styles are always available at the bottom right of the palace screen. But once you've placed the improvement its perment for that improvement.

                I tend to my palace in whatever style is typical of the nation's I'm fighting, and I'm working on an alternate palce graphic set where the background is a throneroom and the improvements are slaves, treasure, etc. Kinda like Civ2 only you fill it up with the spoils of war.

                    I always mix them and make my own palace. It always looks at least half decent in the end.

                          Skywalker:

                          Out of curiosity, when you submit your vote, do you double-click on the button? IIRC, your vote gets submitted if you do that, but you can't see the results unless you open the "view results" window.

                          Try clicking once.

                            I do click once. It gives a message saying that my session is invalid.

                            Here's to test the autocensor: **** **** ******* damn
