Palace

Palace is a modular building added in the Seat of Power DLC, it affects and boosts buildings built within the street range of the palace, which depends on the number of wings built. The palace contains five different departments, each of them has a certain passive effect, which can be amplified by obtaining prestige levels. You can also choose one out of five policies to be active within each department, each policy has a specific effect. Only one palace can be built per session.

Range

Influence range of the palace depends on the number of wings built, and like in case of all buildings, the range is increased when paved streets are used. Available number of wings depends on the profile level so the more people live in your empire, the more wings you can build and the bigger range the palace will have. There is no maximum limit of wings.

The range of the palace determines the range of local departments. Local department's range is equal to half of the range of the palace.
