Cultural Architecture again?

[NintendoRox23]

Back in CivIII they had the Western, Euro, Mediterrainian, Arabic, and Eastern style buildings for each civ. They took this out in CivIV, but in some of the Warlords images, they have Greek and Chinese cities with their culture. Do you think they're putting this back in, or do you think these are in scenarios only?

I hope that they have unique cultural buildings, but I suspect that it is for mods only.

Still, I don't think that, beyond designing the art, it would be that hard to implement. I wonder, though, how they get around historically rediculous things such as India having the same architecture as China, or Mali having the same architecture as Arabia.

I would suggest that, having gone to the effort to put 'culture-specific' architecture-and city improvements-into the Scenarios, we will almost certainly see them in our normal 'epic' games too. That is just a hunch though!

Looks sweet. I hope we get to see 'em in play!

Now, if they can also add leaders who change their clothes through the eras, we will almost be back to what we used to have!

Seriously, whenever I see Roosevelt wearing a suit in 4000 BC, it kinda takes me out of the game. It shouldn't be that hard to the 3D models differently through the eras...
