Sure-Fire way to get Palace Improvements?
Does anyone know an effective way of getting palace improvements? It just looks so damn cool!  I'm talking about getting the prompt that tells you
"Your people love you so much that they offer to expand your palace"
Its something along those lines. Then you get to make an addition to your palace and make it look better.

I thought is was based on your popularity ranking which in on the top5 cities/demographics screen. But I am in the Industrial age and I have been at 99% approval rating for 40 turns and I do not have a single upgrade to my palace. Not one single upgrade and I'm in the industrial age with 99% approval. This is stupid.

Your probably playing chieftan, huh?
The higher the difficulty rating, and the more barbarians thier are, mean you can get more palace improvements.

My first game was on chieftan. I quit it at about the beginning of the mideival because it was way too easy but I had been getting loads of palace improvements.
I don't think there are is any one thing that triggers it, just generally it happens when the game thinks you are doing well. Building a wonder often makes it happen I think, and perhaps WLTKD. I would expect that lots of cultural expansions might have something to do with it as well.

I noticed a direct corrolation between getting palace improvements, and the total amount of culture my civ had produced. Could have been coincidence, but I got an improvement, and i checked and my culture was at 10,006 (thus meaning I had passed 10k that turn). Mayeb a coincidence, maybe not.

Entering a new age (e.g. from Middle Ages to Industrial) might trigger it as well.

Thanks for your input guys
Just some experience:
One game I had, I played as the Germans
I was getting a palace improvement almost every 5 turns
One thing I noticed was that all my cities had WLTKD. Maybe this has something to do with it?

I once had it give me three palace improvements simultaneously. If the "preview" thing hadn't been there, I might not have noticed that I had extra palace tokens available. I've only had that happen once, and otherwise have never gotten more than one at a time. Weird.
