Hello! I was playing Tughlaq last night and never usually choose the palace of the sultan landmark and did for the first time and while yes it is a fully upgraded fort I didn’t realize it had zero defence or attack capabilities of a fort. Also a fully upgraded fort ends with 6500 health vs the palace caps at 5000. Looking at aoe4 metrics it is picked only 20% of the time. So here is the suggestion that is small but meaningful to help it’s pick rate and match the other Tughlaq fully upgraded forts: Give palace of the sultan defense capabilities (even if it’s just arrow slits) Give palace of the sultan the same matching health as a fully upgraded fort (6500 health) This will not make it any more powerful than a regular fort, while still making it an advantages pick for it’s potential Governor bonus. Thank you! ---

Great idea. I never pick it only because it acts more like a freebie (which you still pay for), and in AOE 4 that is like the scam option between the two choices because you sacrifice the benefits of the real Age buildings.
