It looks wonderful. Fit for a king!

I do have to say that I'm happy they're doing this CivI style

Wow! That is SO much better than the boring old Buckingham palace in London. I always wanted to live in a cave...

Yep, the palace screenshot proves that Civ3 is going to be a winner.

I wonder where the great leader relaxes, in the green room or the library... This looks massive!

I don't care much about it ...
I admit it looks cool, but I'm more interrested in good gameplay and AI than a palace that has no function in the game ...
No offence intended ...

Hey, cool palace. Just the kind of place where I could relax, go and lounge out on a rock, watch some rocks and chew on a rock or two. Followed by a game of 'throw the rock'

Yeah, that is the basic level palace I am sure, as it was in civ. It seems to be an updated version.

What I think is that it would be good if the palace actually 'did' something, eg, the bigger and older and more luxurious the palace, the more it could do for your culture rating

The more the merrier...although personally, I don't think it should always work that way (Rome's ruins seem more and more cultured the older they get...)

Imagine that they weren't ruined, imagine the culture value of them then after that period of time! That is what you have the opportunity to do here, make sure they continue to thrive.

I think you would have these things more from a point of view of game mechanics. It would be difficult to implement any other way...

That's true, I'm just saying that fancy doesn't always equal cultured

True, but for the purposes of the game it is the way forward. More construction feats and projects within a city would generally imply a greater level of sophistication, and thus, more culture

I guess it depends on your definition of sophistication...keep in mind that the fanciest and most intricate costumes ever were made by primitive civilizations that could barely communicate...and everything nowadays is so streamlined...and yet I'd say we're far more sophisticated.
