The settlement appearence design is alright, but IMO there are a number of issues with them.
First and foremost the settlement graphics are tiny. It is rather difficult to see them.
Second most of the settlement graphics are rather samey looking. While there is some differences, a lot of the settlements look the same.
Third the buildings you build are not reflected on the map I have noticed.
So my suggestion is as followed.
First have the settlement graphics just bigger overall, how they were done in Imperator IMO was great. Not to mention there was a growth of the settlements you could see things get bigger and bigger, and there were roads connecting the settlements. Which ties into the next point, as you grow perhaps based on development or the current tech level for that culture, you will see things change. What you build should reflect on the map so farms would appear. Then finally a clearer distinct style between the different cultures to make it clearer at first glance that this is an Iberian castle versus a scottish vs a persian castle vs a tamil castle, etc.
I think that this would help to improve the immersion of the game quite a bit IMO. What do others think?
