What is the white star by the city's name?

[Tecibbar]

I am playing BTS. I have seen the white star in enemy's city often. Does it mean that city has built some special building?

 

[vengeance1000]

It means that its a holy city.
When you found ( or the AI founds ) a religion it randomly picks a city and makes that the holy city. ( I think XD )

 

[Tecibbar]

nah, holy city is a yellow star.

 

[volfan37132]

I think it means the city has the Forbidden Palace National Wonder.

 

[oyzar]

it means that it counts as a capital so either forbidden palace or versailes.

 

[Krixx]

Or regular palace.

 

[Thyrwyn]

Agree - white star is a palace of some kind (Palace, Forbidden Palace, Or Versailles).

 

[axident]

Or regular palace.

Regular palaces transform the entire circle (the thing with a number in it, the number indicating the population size) into a star. See Amsterdam, below, for an example. The white star indicates Versailles or Forbidden Palace.

Yeah, axident's got it right:
White Star= Center of Government (i.e. Forbidden Palace, Versailles)
Population Number in Star= Capital of Civ

In the Religious Advisor's screen, a gold star after the City's name denotes Capital, while White Star means the same thing. Gold Star to the upper right of a religious icon indicates the holy city of that religion.
