Hi! I know this isn't a major issue at all, I felt the need of sharing this just for the sake of historical accuracy, in game depth and Common Sense (heh). As someone who lives by, seeing adobe buildings in Sinop, Bolu, Ankara, basically the whole Anatolia, feels like seeing igloos for Mamluks as buildings. Adobe buildings were never used by Turks because of the humidity of the enviroment that they were around, Anatolia gets moderetely frequent rainfall. Instead, houses, mosques, governmental buildings etc. were built of wood and stone, with a quite distinct and somewhat cute style. However, the adobe buildings which are used for the muslim nations in game also wouldn't stand a chance and melt away with time if they were actually built in Anatolia.
The pictures below are the RENOVATED versions of the buildings mentioned, the original ones that were not touched are badly damaged, but these ones are 100% accurate as well concerning the illustration.
This is PRETTY accurate
This is an old governmental building
The one below is the UNESCO heritage site in Safranbolu. Somewhere in Candar nation in the game.
Another old house with Ottoman gravings in sight
Hope these gave you a general idea about the topic, maybe it is not enough illustrations here but I think devs can handle it with their research pretty well. I don't think this would take too much time to create too.
Thank you for your time!
- What I would propose would be the usage of the actual Turkish architecture of housing which was used between 14th and 19th century. I will be illustrating the buildings with some pictures below.
- I am definetely not saying that the housing should be continiusly changed throughout the game interactively, meaning, if I am playing with an Arabic nation and colonizing Eriksfjord, I could stand a couple of palm trees in the arctic. But let's just fix the beginning at least.
- And come on, amongst the Turkish at least the Ottomans stay alive and well till the end game 99% of the time. So I doubt this update will go to waste and stay unrecognized.
- Maybe we could have nomadic tents (this is not my native language lol) for the Steppe Nomads, at least for the Tengrist group. Rather than finely constructed Chinese medieval skyscrapers.
