What, your family murdered by tents or something?

Looks nice, was made by very skilled artists working like slaves in some instances. Only thing I’m opposed to here is the milking of AC

Yeah, I don't know why the Agora wouldn't have been blanketed in market stalls and tents/canopies on any standard market day. They didn't run foot races down the middle of the Agora every day, @Anaxandridas ho Skandiates. I was a bustling a thriving market in the heart of the city. The fact that they bothered to model the Stoa of Zeus, Temple of Hephaistos, and the Painted Stoa, among other architectural notables is a big plus in my book as well. They didn't have to even go that far, since we know the masses don't care about accuracy, but they did. :)

 

And the Acropolis isn't overly fanciful. They have the Parthenon situated correctly and wonderfully modeled and detailed, they have the Erechtheon modeled accurately. Athena Promachos is too large and lavish (by a factor of 2), but the fact they included all these details at all is great.

 

One thing I like is how colorful everything is. Buildings have colorful plaster, people wear colorful tunics and robes. Walls are covered in frescoes.

Unfortunately like the interior of palaces, they do not really show in the game which mainly shows exteriors ( @Stan` considerations above interesting to you too, maybe?) 

 

The discovery tour for AC: Odyssey will be available this fall.

There are some videos about missions in interior places but... I don't think you will like it:

I like those ideas for the Thracians, Greek-style wooden temples.

Although they didn't have been found among Thracians. In my opinion, the major issue is due to the Thracians princes (Odrysians, Bessi, Getae etc.) who lived in fortified towns with stone-cutting walls and were buried in Greek-style tomb with stone-cutting structures. I will insist because for me the Thracians must have a design with more stones. I would better understand a wood-based design for the Dacians.

[Genava55]

And wooden Greek-like buildings are beautiful in AC Odyssey because of the textures and the colors.

Without those, it can be really ugly. Remember that:

that temple must be changed, the proportions do not help either.

It would look good with a better color tone of wood, those woods are already a bit tiring to see. they are very greyish.

look my closet.It has nice shades with some variety.

Some parts are more yellow, others more orange, and others darker.

The texturing and models are well done. It's more of a design problem for sure. We don't have a lot of good inspiration or concept artwork for them. Those AC:O screenshots are a rich source of ideas though!

I really like the frescoes, but I'm not sure if we have food examples of Thracian artwork @Genava55 which cam serve that purpose (wall decoration). Beyond the frescoes, I like the other elements too.

Civic Center ^

 

Civic Center ^

 

Middle = Temple ^

 

Fortress and Walls^

Perhaps Thracians can have a special feature where they can build Fortress and Walls 1 phase earlier, but weaker Wooden versions, upgradeble to Stone versions in City Phase (just an idea for a unique feature for them).

 

Barracks, Stables, and Range can use elements from here^

Finding a preserved wall is extremely rare but such frescoes exist inside the Thracian tombs:

Helvetia tomb, near Shipka in Bulgaria and  Maglizh tomb in Stara Zagora, Bulgaria

Thracian tomb of Kazanlak

Thracian tomb of Aleksandrovo

Svesthari tomb

One of such has been found in Mesembria which is a Greek city on the Thracian coast:

[Lion.Kanzen]

3 wooden elements I really like, the door supports and the ceiling beams, it reminds me of the Hispanic colonial art of some places in my country, that we inherited from the Spanish and then from Romans and then Greeks.

1 -is the wooden pediment.

Pediment- in classical architecture, the low-pitched gable, or triangular area formed by the two slopes of the low-pitched roof of a temple, framed by the horizontal and raking cornices.

 

2-door frame

3- is called head 

And 4 is a wall fresco.

It seems to me that these wooden  elements and simple frescos could work well for a simpler art not only for the Thracianscome to mind with the Genava examples.

I found this: as Thracian architecture m.It has the aforementioned elements.

perhaps a more primitive example of caryatids.

Inside the traditional Balkan architecture I found some photos.
