i have only visited the spaceport, croybank and elysium park gold landmark so far.
each of them felt pretty cheap compared to other landmarks with beautifull and unique architecture.
here you only get ruins.
i honestly expected into get a battle either inside or just near the main building we can see on the strategic map, but when starting a manual battle in them you actually just fight in some ruins with one or two unique prop here and there.
the spaceport was particularly ugly since it was just a little gas station in the middle of nowhere.

my point is, battle map of gold landmark (at least the 3 i have listed) do not reflect at all their look on the strategic map.
and neither do they look the "gold" part.

silver landmark for exemple are beautifull in comparison and does fit well with their theme and strategic map look.

I have to second that. Silver landmarks are all themed with secret tech aesthetic, but golds are pretty much all "paragon ruin". And even that would be an insult to Paragon, as Paragon dwelling battle map is actually a neat city siege.
