What about the throne room?

moscaverde · Jun 01, 2005, 12:18 PM

My favorite is the one in civilization 1 (castle)..
What do you think will be in Civ4?

Gabryel Karolin · Jun 01, 2005, 12:30 PM

Hopefully nothing of the sort.

I must say, I enjoy building up my Palace or Thrown room, or whatever it is this time. I think in Civ 4 it will (should) be a 3d view of the Palace. Possibly one you can rotate the camera arround to see the different angles? But, Civ I was a view of outside, Civ II was inside, III was outside again, so possibly it will be back inside the throne room?

I always liked building up my palace. It gave me brief moment of happiness and a feeling of power

dc82 · Jun 01, 2005, 02:06 PM

if there is one of these side options, i hope it's more customizable - while it was great seeing ur throne room transform from a cave into a palace, there were certain "advanced" that i didn't like in terms of taste. same w/ the palace. maybe there'd be better options to pick and choose how to upgrade.

Avayaman · Jun 01, 2005, 03:17 PM

i liked the castle more than the throne room, especially since you could actually see (a bit anyway) the differene in the castles when you zoom into the city.

maybe since they plan to make the wonders visible from outside view, maybe they can do that with the castles too, instead of having a star to denote a capital city.

CivGeneral · Jun 01, 2005, 03:29 PM

I personaly dont like the throne room. I rather much construct my own palace like in Civ I and III.

RoboPig · Jun 01, 2005, 03:47 PM

I liked the palace, though the throne room was cool and constantly changing it sometimes got a bit crazy.

Colonel · Jun 01, 2005, 03:54 PM

I want to have the palace back, but have an option to spend some money and make it out of GOLD. Could you imagine that. Get a relatively cheaper and stronger gold-alloy-and watch your people flock to your almighty PALACE OF GOLD!!!!!!!!!!

mastertyguy · Jun 01, 2005, 04:05 PM

Maybe the palace will be another game? Like a FPS in civ4...

Steve2000 · Jun 01, 2005, 04:32 PM

I like in the "throne room" type thing from Alpha Centauri.

For non-SMAC players: it was basically a record of all of your great accomplishments, and whether or not you (or someone else) was the first to do that particular thing. Each accomplishment got a little symbol placed on a big stone building and you could go back and revel in your accomplishment.

Such as "Brother Lal builds the Peacekeeper's first naval unit in 2135 (Colonel Santiago already built Planet's first naval unit in 2120).

It would be nice if upgrading the palace actually did something, like increase the capital's culture or happiness. Also, the bigger the palace the more tourism it would generate.

BearMan · Jun 02, 2005, 12:31 AM

It would be really strange if there was no palace in civ4,
now they have the possibility of putting it on the map and making it visible all the time, and the upgrades as well, and addíng some culture or turism wouldn't hurt, like a previous post said.

Kosez · Jun 02, 2005, 05:17 AM

Throne room was nice cause it had so many things you could change. With palace you quickly get all things upgraded, so there's only limited fun you can have.

Where is your imagination

?
This is the Civ4 discussion, that means, neither the throne room or the palace needs to have the same amount of upgrades as in previous versions of civs, if it appears in civ4.

JG99_Korab · Jun 02, 2005, 06:03 AM

Anyone ever finished their palace until nothing else could be added?

Darwin420 · Jun 02, 2005, 06:09 AM

I would love it if there was a 3D Palace View when you construct, with the option to place not just the walls and wings of the palace, but maybe a moat (or spike pit), water gardens (maybe), statues, etc.

It would also be cool if the Palace evolved over time with your technology.. when you begin, the walls are wattle and daub, they become stonework with masonry, and more advanced as time goes on...

That would be AWESOME!!

Oh, the Throne room was cool, but unless they can make it so everytime I conquer an enemy I get a wonder movie of them being brought before me in my Throne Room, leave it out! Just give me the 3d Palace.

Level · Jun 02, 2005, 11:20 AM

I realy liked the palace from Civ1 and I would like it like that maybe with some of Alpha Centauri's stuff.

Darwin420 · Jun 02, 2005, 01:22 PM

Maybe have the Palace view with different styles, and you get Statues or Monuments or something to denote things you've done first, a la SMAC.

Now THAT would be KEWL!!

mitsho · Jun 02, 2005, 02:57 PM

Whatever it is, it must be included.

Throne Rome, Main Palace or the bigger palace with the gardens, the baths, etc..

I know this has nothing to do with the quality of civIV, but nevertheless, it's a fun element and eye candy...
