  • Slightly OT: How do you build your palace?

    This is just a curiosity on my part, but how do you build your palace?

    For me (for instance), I always build the main structure up first, then I add the side buildings up, then the little connecting buildings between the side buildings and the main structure. Then the pillars, then the courtyard and finally the trees...

    I only ever used the thing in my first ever game of Civ3. After I had built it all the way up once it hardly seemed worth doing it again.
    If I'm posting here then Counterglow must be down.

      Main building, then the courtyard and trees and such.

        I typically ignore it, clicking the "X" whenever the "palace improvement" pop-up appears. Sometimes in the late game I'll go to the Palace screen and just add all the accumulated improvements, but usually I just ignore it.

          I mix the different palace types to make it as ugly as possible and scare away the other civs so they won´t attack me

            I do the base, then add the pillars as soon as possible, then trees, then build up the center, then the wings.

              Main building, stairs, court yard. Then add horizontally before vertically.

                    All parts from the same culture group the civ I'm playing is. Except for Egyptians: their Mediterranean building looks so Greco-Roman that I have to choose Mid-Eastern style, which is what Egyptian palace should look like. What were they thinking?

                      I delay the main building as long as possible, because it amuses me.

                      I tended to leave the throne as a boulder in Civ 2 as long as possible as well, for the same reason.

                        Maybe that Cleopatra was Greek?

                          Wazell, you can go into the editor and change the culture group. I've done that for my personal mod. I also put the U.S. in the European and Spain in the Mediterranean group.

                            I have stopped building it. Does it have a function?
