A Dravidian temple seems like a safe bet. Possibly Meenakshi Amman in Madurai?

I thought of that one, but I think it is unlikely that they would not present all 3 Gopuram if it would be this one. Our wonder shows just one big one.

That's a reasonable argument, but after the (admittedly nice-looking) fantasy-esque architectural hodgepodge they call the Great Bath I'm not expecting them to stay absolutely loyal to the actual look of any wonder. :rolleyes:

Can some with a twitch account please ask during the next live stream if there was any inspiration for that abomination that is called Great Baths? It's seems to be just weirdly mixing architectural styles from different cultures of the Indian subcontinent throughout the centuries, but all way after Harappa stopped to exist.

The actual reason is probably just that a historically accurate recreation of the Great Bath would look fairly dull (at least in comparison to other wonders), so they made something up that intentionally mixes styles and elements to represent the Harappan civilization's influence on subsequent cultures across the subcontinent.
 
To me it looks rather terrible when I look how the black tower grows out of the globe structure.

I don't think that's intentional. But with regards to the structures themselves, they aren't any more bizarre or offensive than architects are building right now.

Touché. Guess I only like contemporary architecture when it's more adventurous.
 
So there is a cap for strategic resources that you can have in stockpile:

Yes, but we don't know if it is a fixed cap. Ed stated that later units are going to use up resources while in play, so my guess is that the cap can be increased, either by gaining more of that resource, or cards, or techs.

But it could just be that each resource has its own set cap, and something like oil could have a cap of 200.

edit: it would be really cool if each civ had its own cap limits for each resource.
