Which Building Style do you prefer
Just wondering if people automatically take the building style that is associated with the civ they take:
Bronze Age Monolith
Classical Forum
Far East Pavilion
Medieval Castle
Or whether they opt out for a specific style no matter which civ they take.
I was so used to playing the Romans most of the time, I got used to seeing the Classical Forum... and I think the others are just damn ugly... so I usually take the Classical Forum look no matter which civ I take.
What do you do?

Classical forum is by far the best looking and seems the most in tune with the overall Civ vibe..
I do sometimes choose another just for the variety...

The Far East style is just too damn bright for my tastes...
It looks like art deco on drugs...

Leave it to an Aussie to use the word love when talking about building styles. Or were you talking about women.

Since I usually host, I don't want to mod the game if I don't have to.

Well since we don't build walls generally it doesn't make a difference, but he's refering to is that he could build a city wall for a city, and if you stroll up, you may not recognize that it's walled and attack it, thinking it's not.

Usually Medieval Castle, but I will choose the others for variety or to match the civ I am playing (though this can be impossible...the Sioux for instance...would Bronze Age Monolith be the closest thing to a tee-pee?)

Yes, they should have chosen the Pueblo instead of the Sioux.
Btw, what is the most number of celts you ever had in a game? I once played with 3 celtic nations in a 3-way
