What triggers a castle expansion?
(if I had more questions, I'd ask them, but that's it for now.)
 
Palace improvements, hmm, let's see. (digs out Rome on 640K a Day).
Ahh, here it is. The palace improvements are awarded based on your score.
Score thresholds for the first few improvements are as follows (C = Chieftan Score, W = Warlord score, etc.)
Tile . . C . .. W . . P . . K . . E
. 1 . .. 4 . . . 4 . . 3 . . 3 . . 2
. 2 . . 11 . . 10 . . 8 . . 7 . . 5
. 3 . . 22 . . 19 .. 16 . 13 . 10
. 4 . . 36 . . 31 .. 26 . 21 . 23
. 5 . . 53 . . 46 .. 38 . 31 . 32
. 6 . . 74 . . 64 .. 53 . 43 . 43
. 7 . . 99 . . 85 .. 71 . 57 . 55
. 8 .. 127 . 109 .. 91 . 73 . 68
. 9 .. 158 . 136. 113 . 91 . 83

This goes on until you get the 37th and final palace improvement at
Chieftan 2461, Warlord 2110, Prince 1758, King 1407, Emperor 1055.
 
Hmmm Valen, are you completely sure about that? If i remember correctly, my highest score on emperor was around 1600 so far and i never had full palace built. But that was 15-20 years ago, so it may not be 100% accurate :)
 
In about everything else, I have found Rome on 640K a Day to be accurate.
Is it possible you sold your palace. The palace display stops growing when you sell it. When you rebuild, it starts growing again where it left off (if you've accumulated the necessary score). At least you don't have to start over.
 
Well... I did no research on this, but simply played the game for some 17 or so years. I not sure of this, but I guess, there must be another factor that influence this aside of points only. Maybe minor, but anomalies happened. I had perception that sometimes I lose the castle parts progress on reload. For example I got castle part in, lets say 2400BC. Then I reload 2440BC, kill annoying barbarian thanks to reload extra turn, do all the same, maybe found a city one turn earlier, but not get castle part until 1900BC or so. Unhappy citizen? Maybe…
I've never really paid attention to castle construction, but things like above happened to much ever again to completely ignore and forgot them.
 
@Valen
No i didn't. I know it stops. As enneagon said, sometimes after reload u don't get opportunity to upgrade it even if u do everything the same as before realoading. Castle upgrade is still mystery to me, after so many years...
