According to the real buildings ottoman landmarks arent best modelled and detailled. This is the realiyty ,not a whim. You say age of 4 is about fighting, from your point English, mongols, French, mali, Hre landsmark could be built like Ottomans but no, devs have made these landmark awesome. This is not subjective this is objective according to the landmark pictures.
Are real english buildings compared to aoe4 realistic and well modelled and detailed? no… many lack detail , texture and so on … This is a cartoony style game my friend…
All of their landmarks are the same , IN FACT , some landmarks can be considered EVEN worse than ottomans .
Rus kremlin? Yeahhhh well detailed , well scaled compared to the real building right? Svhool of cavalry is also a good scaled landmark full of detail and max graphic potential? No!
It is subjective , because for me ottoman landmarks are literally like any other landmark of any other civ , youre just used to see the same landmarks and now that you see new ones youre just confused and making points and statements from thin air!
And as i said , this game cannot be compared with real life buildings , the scale of the game its too diferent from real life to make these comparisons without seeing them ingame with ingame zoom first

I dont see and feel the topic from your point so I dont agree with you, there is no need to argue with you.
This is an interesting point. Zoom level and low res can give the wrong impression. But OP has the right to have an opinion, for example English landmarks do seem much bigger and more detailed.

Not tbh! Like cusobt said ottoman landmarks SEEM to be larger in proportions than even english landmarks and LIKE I SAID its too early to judge from , but who knows .
Maybe the next week pup will help to clear everyones mind 
(And yes OP has the right to has his opinion haha)
haha were not arguing were just debating… Nothing personal either 
Yea on the second thought i give you that . Sry :))
I am not living in Turkey so may not know these. But what i see in trailer was awesome for me 
This Landmark is the only one I feel is conspicuously lacking proper characteristic roof domes and gazebos, and model should be taller. Since it is the imperial Grand Bombard foundry, it carries some symbolism.

Yes man we say these things in general. I say devs should give more care to landmarks as other civ land marks.
I wish devs could choice one grand mosque like Bursa Grand Mosque as landmark. Landmarks that devs choice are too small.
The one full of yellow domes right?
Sure looks grander than Twin Minaret. Plus it’s Ottoman not Seljuk, and it has the meaning to commemorate Nicopolis 1396, one of the greatest battles in history. Sounds better.
But don’t get hopes up. I don’t think they’re changing the choice of Landmarks at this point.
Best you can get is an improvement in the models, which I think Tophane is sorely in need.

I think there is time to change some landmarks. I dont think making a Bursa Grand Mosque as land mark too hard. They have plans from other civs.Sultanhanı Kervansaray and Istanbul Observatory dont deserve landmark tags. Istanbul Observatory is age 4 land mark but I think there are some building that deserve tag than Istanbul Observatory. Also Sulhtanhani Kervansaray and twin minare madrassa arent a Ottoman building. Bursa Grand Mosque deserves as land mark as Age 2 land mark.Please devs consider these thoughts. If you make a civ (ottomans and others) once time, please make them right. And please release a Landmark Dlc that has 4 or 5 land marks for each civ.

Tbh I find the real building kind of dull. Apart from the roof I’d say the model makes the building look already much better than it is in reality.

Devs should make tophane landmark taller and add three small and one large domes.
Of course there’s a somewhat dull aspect, this landmark is a godamn FACTORY! That’s stating the super obvious. But there’s also an truly legendary aspect: this is the original Giant Bombard factory, a total vanguard of world technology in 1453.
As you said yourself, the height of the in-game model is too much shorter and the roof is sorely missing.
Therefore I very much disagree. The model is indeed flawed, and desperately in need of correct the height and add roof domes + gazebos.

The real factory building doesn’t look big either so I think the model is just right.

in my opinion, the biggest problem with the factory landmark is the huge blocks as a texture and the roof (not the domes) looks so off to me

Real factory is not bigger? I dont think so according to the picture.

That’s so accurate @DebtlessWave735 . That wall texture with huge blocks, it looks off, shoddy and cheap. And so easy to improve. Also the roof and building height as we mentioned before. You got it.
Age of Empires deserves this ‘low pain, high gain’ improvement @devs.
