In LordGood's defence, a lot of the Seleucid textures look like that.

And my two cents: I think the banners are fine, as long as there are military-esque objects inside or outside. Because realistically, it would be hot and sunny there, so their buildings would have shade in small courtyards.

It may be more important to show the dummies, anvils, shields, spears, etc., than to give the men some shade. I mean for gameplay (need to make it clear what this building is quickly). But LordGood is proficient artist. He can decide. :)

How about the shield and crossed spears on the side? That is a sure sign of a barracks. Most Hellenistic factions have that.

I was thinking, that for the military colony, it could be an large-ish building that has a similar style to the barracks, but is flatter, wider, has a larger enclosed pavillion, and mini sentry towers at each corner.

 

Also, is the temple a Seleucid unique design? Or is that thr generic Greek temple?

I'm really looking forward the completion of a full seleucid building set! Also, I don't know if anyone has a better idea of what should be the future wonder of the seleucids?

I thought something like this would be good: http://ageofempires.wikia.com/wiki/File:WonderGaia.png

It would need more natural elements like some trees and flowers, but that's pretty much what I imagine.

Yes but with Pythian Apollo temple in the middle.

That, or a nearby wonder of the world. Helicarnassus, possibly.  But the Pythian temple would be good.

 

EDIT: Or for a more unique building,  the famous theatre of Antioch.

Theater might get mixed up functionally with with the city state's theaters. Successor states are not supposed to have theaters. Not much I can find about the temple of Apollo either. The mausoleum is very much a symbol, easy to get reference for, but how about the Altar of Pergamon? Its a very nice example of eastern Hellenistic architecture and sculpture, better yet, its still around! haha
