Civ Palace Architecture

[Guandao]

the hungarian palace is inspired by the hungarian parliament in budapest, the maori one i don't know though i saw something similar in photos of new zealand so i think is a pretty famous building

So you've seen the Maori palace before? I haven't seen anyone post a photo of it. Maybe it'll appear in tomorrow's Livestream.

It was visible in last week's stream. Here's a screen grab, and one from the First Look. They never showed it super close up, so you'll have to forgive the quality, but you can get the general idea.

Spoiler Maori capital :

Māori city and palace styles seem based on the "wharenui", or the large meeting houses in a marae.



All those wharenui-looking buildings grouped together in a city kinda makes them look like actual marae.

The Inca have their own unique Palace Style. It kinda reminds me of the look of the palace in the Emperor's New Groove.

It looks very regal and fit for the Earth Shaker.

They could make unique palace styles for all civs now. There are a lot of them now already. And leave each CS with a corresponding Palace that most fit them, from the main civs in game.

Brazil, please! And change the city architecture while you’re at it!

Firaxis likes to treat Brazil as some Amerindian nation for some reason. Or maybe they just don't care to change the palace/city architecture. At least give them Spain's palace!

The overall Brazil civ design suggests it was not one the dev team was overly interested in. Not worrying about their architecture style fits with that.

Even if they consider us Amerindian, there's no excuse to use the Aztec set when there's the Mapuche one that's much closer to what our natives had.

Can you update

Just noticed the OP was asking for Real Life inspirations on new castles… maybe it's worth to throw here a link for the old topic about R&F assets were also some of this info was in discussion

https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/r-f-cultural-styles-preview-in-asset-editor.626947/

As far as I was able to find for that topic, in terms of the new palaces introduced in R&F.

Scotland -> Cawdor Castle
England -> Howard Castle
Spain -> Palacio de Aranjuez

I hope Brazil gets a new a Palace, it's a glaring oversight.

And here I thought the English castle was based on St. Paul's Cathedral....silly me!

Yes. Just as an example, the palace of Ilha fiscal (which already appears in Pedro's background) seems remarcable enough, easy to model (with outstanding relevant features such as the tower or even the palm trees which allow for easy identification), and perfectly fitting the colors of the current architecture, if you don't want to change it.

Let’s just say I amended it to keep it this time.

I will drop an updated palace building for Brazil (I am not using mods) and I am not sure if this palace was updated along with Gran Colombia.

Accirding to civ wiki
"The Brazilian capital originally featured a sacrificial temple identical to that of the Aztec capital, even though this building never existed in Brazilian territory. In Gathering Storm the temple is replaced with a colonial palace."

You need to fix the photo

Germany got a New Palace too with Gathering Storm.
