There are only two types in the game now: the European noble consulate (classical marble building) and the unified thatched house style in South America, North America, Africa, and Asia (this building seems to be in Native American style?)
For Asia, the better way I can imagine is to refer to the trade stations on the Asian trade routes and the Asian marching tents in the Japanese campaign. Because the architecture of East Asia and South Asia is so different, using this kind of marching, practical, simple tent seems to be the least conflicting.
I don’t know about Africa, but it seems that rammed earth buildings are more reasonable?

I think the embassies should be civ based, Euros getting the model used on Euro maps, then add one for African and Asian civs and use the current model of American civs for Natives (as a bonus maybe even add separate models for Aztecs and Inca).

It’s something I raised on the Discord channel.
Embassies historically were built in the same manner as other buildings of that civ. They weren’t a weird, architecturally isolated building.
It stems from their introduction when it appeared with the War Chiefs expansion. At that time a Native American civ building it was fine, however even at that point Europeans building a ‘little hut for the natives’ seemed odd.
If I go into London right now, I can assure you that most embassies look just as fancy as the next Georgian/Victorian town houses. No country, whether extremely poor or not is going to have a wooden hut in Mayfair!
