we dont have a screenshot of the palace in our civ1 section
i'll have to find where i've got my civ1 disks

I shut that stuff off (the palace, the throne room, the interludes, the monuments, what have you). It gets in the way of managing and ruling my empire; I don't need some special screen to tell me I am great, just look at my civ!

[Windborne]

I'd like the throne room again, but with a few changes, most importantly I want to be able to see the throne rooms of other leaders as a major part of the diplomacy screen, I'd love the chance to dictate terms to ceasar while he's sitting on a rock in a ratty throne room. lol

[Zealot]

Come on, guys! >:P Are you affraid that Firaxis innovate? Most of you are asking for a Palace and a Throne Room again! Palease!!! You should incite them instead on making something that will awe us, something that we can say "Yes! This really reflects the grandeur of my civilization!".

In my not-too-humble opinion, I bet you won't be working for them in your life time, if you're narrow minded!

Hey guys, I still love ya! If you're oppinion didn't matter, I wouldn't be here.

Chaos, CTP2 doesn't have anything (no throne room/palace/what not) nor does it have the counsel/advisors screen.

Call me a traditionalist, but I just like the palace. I'd like to see brand spanking new graphics, and more (potentially silly) customisation options. Following the thread of this increasingly petty whim, how's about a 3D spinny-rotatey palace, complete with tour function?

Why a poll on this issue? It would have been better to have a poll on say, future techs, or resource system, or just about anything else.

This is kind of off topic, but I found out in Civ2 when I was "waiting" some of my units I accidentially pressed "q" and it makes the throne room upgrade thingy whatchamacallit automatically and you can do it over and over until it's fully upgraded.

[DrFell]

Give me a palace anyday, noone likes that crappy throne room

[monolith94]

Don't tell us you lost your civ 1 disks mark! Nooooo! I should find mine, too, for a bit of nostalgia gaming.

You mind describing that in more detail? I tried to do that but it didn't work.

[Kuciwalker]

To DrFell: I beg to differ.

The option was removed in Ctp2

You have to have cheatmode enabled, then you press "q"
and you get a free upgrade.

The palace was cooler because you could mix and match styles. (Hmmm, shall we visit the arabesque wing or the gothic wing? Senator Peter Murphy? Oh, the gothic wing then!) The "forbidden city" (that name's a new one on me) stunk on ice. I'll probably just turn it off - unless the palace has some really cool styles to blend! (Its a gothic cathedral on the right, neoclassical in the center, and don't forget the IM Pei wing recently installed . . .)
