Civ 3 Complete palace screen

Gman8744 · Aug 05, 2012, 03:03 PM

I have both Civ 3 vanilla on a disc and Civ 3 Complete from steam and I've noticed that in all of the hours I've played Complete I haven't gotten the opportunity to go to the palace screen and upgrade my palace. I remember when I played vanilla I got the option all of the time, but now it seems I haven't gotten it ever. Is the palace feature still in Civ 3 Complete? Or am I just not doing as well as before?

It's in Complete. Maybe you have to pay Steam extra to get that option.

Mods and conquests don't have a palace.
Only 'normal' games.
Maybe that's it. But I assure you, there is a palace in C3C. If you keep your people happy, they'll build it.
I don't know the works behind it, but I'm sure it's here somewhere.

There are certain in-game events that trigger expansions; building your second city and first victory against Barbarians are definitely two of them. Off the top of my head I dunno any more, and some of them may be just random.

I bought Civ 3 Complete from Gamersgate.
I get the palace.

So it isn't a CD version vs Digital Download issue.

I was doing some exhaustive tests to be the first to discover exactly what events trigger a palace expansion some months ago... then Skyrim came

OK, I am sure there is more to this. Does anyone know what is the maximum number of upgrades one can do to the palace?

Don't really know. Been there so many timess. 12 maybe?

I think 17: You can build 4 floors to the "main" palace (4), the Grass Paths (5), the Trees (6), the Stairs (7), the Pillars (8), 2 floors to the left (10) and right (12) wings, two levels of hallway-covering things between both wings and the main palace (16), and that one that gives you an archway and some random blocks (17).
