we know for sure hungary got one. honestly I'm starting to think that the city sets don't reference the unique palace arts, but instead just refer to the standard city buildings that pop up the more population you have, or at least I'm hoping that's what they refer to becuase I am in love with all the detailed graphics of this game and I cannot get enough of them.Watch Sweden get one of the unique city art slots.

Don't all of the civs have a unique palace?
I don't mind either way. I mean, it does make sense for an Oceanian civ to receive its own city art style. But a shared Polynesian/Indonesian art style ("Austronesian", if you will) could also be justified.I just had a thought that if the Maori were in GS, then surely Rapa Nui would have a brand new Polynesian art style:

But it looks like Rapa Nui uses the South-East Asian graphics with an unusual amount of Ancient Era huts. This does not bode well for unique Maori city art.
Or maybe it's still early in development, meaning we probably won't see a Maori reveal anytime soon. I'm hoping it's that.
They sould share with Poland, Georgia, and Russia with the Baltic style since they are the most Baltic.Watch Sweden get one of the unique city art slots.
Zoomed-out low-res screenshot. Bloody useless.https://twitter.com/EdBeach23/status/1069004181187514371?s=19
A screenshot from Ed's game with the canals complete.
But Malian architecture has been in the game since vanilla. If anything, it's Kongo and the Zulus who need a new style, as the Sahelian city set they're using is painfully inaccurate. Second worse misuse of architecture after Brazil, really. The fact that the Kongo city set contrasts so dramatically with its own unique district, as well as Mvemba's background, is enough to make you wonder why Firaxis didn't just give them the Egyptian set and skip African architectural (mis)representation entirely. It's completely baffling.They sould share with Poland, Georgia, and Russia with the Baltic style since they are the most Baltic.
Mali needs its own unique style.
Canada can get Americas but with a different palace for reasons.
Based on the equestrian orders card, I would have thought for sure they were going to have some dual resource units - namely knights needing iron and horsies. Why on earth would you make such a card include iron in the first place? To build more swordsmen in the middle ages? And why give england's WotW ability a boost to iron in addition to coal? Surely, there has got to be a use for what is practically the base element of the modern world (steel) somewhere past the classical if that knight screenshot is going to hold up.
You fanatics are doing great piping in every last frame from these streams!

Maybe the Maori get the Mapuche treatment then, too. A palace and just ancient huts.I just had a thought that if the Maori were in GS, then surely Rapa Nui would have a brand new Polynesian art style:

Maybe since it's the Kongo is why it doesn't look Sahelian to me at all.But Malian architecture has been in the game since vanilla. If anything, it's Kongo and the Zulus who need a new style, as the Sahelian city set they're using is painfully inaccurate.
If anything Rapa Nui would need that set. They are both from Chile anyway.Maybe the Maori get the Mapuche treatment then, too. A palace and just ancient huts.
Sure.If anything Rapa Nui would need that set. They are both from Chile anyway.
I'm not following everyone else's replies, so maybe I'm misreading you, but are you saying that the new palace for Hungary means that they got one of the new city sets? If so, I don't think that's the case - I'm pretty sure Hungary's city buildings weren't new, so that leaves both new city sets unrevealed. I think.we know for sure hungary got one. honestly I'm starting to think that the city sets don't reference the unique palace arts, but instead just refer to the standard city buildings that pop up the more population you have, or at least I'm hoping that's what they refer to becuase I am in love with all the detailed graphics of this game and I cannot get enough of them.
The "Eastern European" city buildings that we have been seeing in the new screenshots are definitely new. There's no question about it. But this has nothing to do with Hungary's palace graphic.I'm not following everyone else's replies, so maybe I'm misreading you, but are you saying that the new palace for Hungary means that they got one of the new city sets?

This is true.Also, to address someone else's point about Rapa Nui, just because we didn't see new buildings in this build doesn't mean that they won't get a new city set. Art assets can be completed pretty late.
