  • What do you do with your palace?

    I used to just select the coolest looking piece, so my palace had several pieces from every culture. They didn't look that bad, actually. Now, I decided to be boring and just make all the pieces from the culture of my civ. Sometimes I just cancel it and I make one big palace all it once. What do you do?

      Cancel it any time it pops up and wish I could turn it off completely.

        I pick one design and stay with it.

            Yeah, the Palace thing just seems to get in the way. If the expansion of your Palace would give you some cultural benefit then it would be tolerable. I just don't see the point otherwise.

              Oh come on, don't be a party pooper. Looking at one's palace shows the merits one has. It's great eye candy, too.

              BTW why are the party hats on the smiley faces? Is it Apolyton's anniversary or something?

                Yes, it's Apolyton's 5th Year Anniversary.

                  Don't mean to be a party pooper! I do like looking at a growing Palace. It is just that it adds nothing to the game other than the eye candy. I would like to see it have a cultural effect or a diplomatic effect. If you are from an ancient age culture still palacing in a rock throne room, I think you should be intimidated in negotiations when you come to my mid-medevil palace!!

                    But I agree, something should be done with the Palace view - like having you gain culture points for the upgrades and having the option to have other players (especially in MP games) view your Palace (achievements).

                      I cancel if I'm currently at war. There's no celebrating when citizens are losing their lives defending the kingdom!

                      When at peace, I will graciously allow my citizens to build out my palace -- as they see fit...

                      However, the UN is not allowed to look in there for WMD!!!!
                      Haven't been here for ages....

                        It would be nice if it did actually do something. Or maybe if you could get new mods for the palace (has anyone done that, if possible?) More culture after a couple of upgrades would be nifty.
