The Shore House could function as an complement, rather than a replacement to standard mainland houses and it could be available for future tropical civs, including Carib and Taino.
The difference or gimmick are:
I suggested houses that could be built on shallows for a Venetian-style civilization a long time ago. Simply make regular houses buildable on shores and in shallow water.
Main drawback would be you can wall off crossings with the houses or create bbottlenecks.
Yes, it’s a good option, maybe they’ll implement it if they add Polynesians…
Maybe six type. Can be just a scenario editor building.
Venetian (use the south european architectural set)
Aztec (use the central american architectural set). The Aztec build their capital on a lake.
Malay (use the south east asian architectural set)
Polynesian : can be the same as the Malay
Tropical american : Cristobal Colon see this type of House and then name the country : Venezuela
African (use the african architectural set) see Wikipedia article about : Ganvié
Can you share an image? It’s the Spanish name of Columbus so it’s tough to find architecture named like this on Google
Sorry I made a mistake, it’s not Colombus but Amerigo Vespucci when he see stilt houses. See the etymology of Venezuela
Ok, I understand now – Amerigo Vespucci named Venezuela after Venice because they built stilt houses there.
Its just a house with terrain restrictions removed so any civi can have using own house skins.
