Civic buildings have always been used to invoke fear, demonstrate power and humble peasants. With the loss of France, we have lost the great Versailles event series. So I propose a series of seven events which replace that, linked perhaps with the high-points of nations across Europe.
I have included 4 suggestions below, one of which is a rewrite of a TO event.
So pick a nation, and a function, and I will match an architect and a style to it.
event = {
id = xxxxx1
random = no
country = HSA
name = " The Changing Halls in Bremen"
desc = " After a fire destroyed many of the existing trading halls in Lübeck in 1485, the great german masons were commissioned to provide a hall for commerce to inspire Europe, at a time when the League was at it's apogee. A Late Gothic masterpiece of vaulted halls, 3 gigantic collonaded buildings linked by perfectly proportioned civic spaces, set the tone for a revitalisation of the centre of the city."
