Name Description Designation
Egyptian Clearly based off K&C Egyptians. The structures and the buildings all should remain the same. Used by Egyptians and Phoenicians.
Minoan This is a hybrid, somewhat. It's based off the K&C Spanish buildset, but many of the buildings are still either thatch-and whitewash, or flat-roofed Mycenaean style. This style is associated primarily with the Thracians and Mycenaeans. 1
Barbarian Does what it says on the tin although they should be allowed to evolve somewhat to Celtic style whitewashed buildings like Mycenaeans. Used by a vast number of factions - Germans, Euskaldunak, Celts, and Scythians. 0
South Asian Uses Chinese Ancient vanilla for most buildings, but then begins to develop its own Indian style in the last era, ie whitewashed buildings, double roofs, etc. 3
North Asian Default Chinese, uses thatched roofs and whitewash, but has its own distinctive appearance for buildings.
Akkadian Uses vanilla Arab mud but has its own building appearance for public buildings - duh.

Ideally, Akkadian buiildings should first reflect Egyptian ones, and look like they were built using unfinished mud brick, before transitioning. There ought to be 3 different appearances - mudbrick for [1]. whitewash with horns in [2] and finally full-on Babylonian in [3].

The majority of factions in Warbirth use this style - Assur, Babylon, Elam, and Mitanni.

Desert Uses some Egyptian elements but only some. The idea here is that most public buildings use Egyptian designs but in a more Arab way, ie square corners and plenty of 3d features. Used by Arabs and Tartessians. Conventional Arab public buildings all use brick and ashlar, just like early Akkadian buildings.
Hittite Combines Mycenaean public buildings with muddy Afro-Arab. Used by Hittites, Hebrews and Phrygians.
