Palaces and Goverment Buildings

[PhxAce]

Quick question from a long-time reader and first time poster.

I am Prussia (still a total monarchy) in GC and I recently took Warsaw from the Polish (a constitutional monarchy). I noticed that their palace building within the city was different from the ones in my cities(Mines an Imperial Palace, their's is a Great Parliament). Was wondering if a different government building will have a negative affect on anything like the happiness of a population. They seemed to have identicle stats but I wanted to clarify. Should I just keep the Great Parliament or burn it to the ground and build up my Imperial Palace?

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm pretty sure that the main difference is only that it is unique to that faction's capital. Kind of like how Prussia has the Brandenburg Gate.

And don't destroy it, if I remember right the level you can re-upgrade the govt building will be capped lower since it is not your capital.

Thanks man, glad I posted before burning down that thing. I'll keep checking if it allows me to re-upgrade it, but so far it seems that it's maxed out as far as upgrades go. (I believe when I hover over it, all the little yellow circles are filled up, I'm assuming this means how upgraded the building is.)

Prussia has the Brandenburg Gate. Is that unlocked somehow? Never seen it.

the Brandenburg Gate is a barracks.

I think you do get less resistance to foreign occupation if you put your own government type in, but i'm not positive.

resistance to foreign occupation is temporary though, by the time you completed a full government building tech line it will be gone anyways.

I use both the trees, depending on what i get and what i need at the time, so i have no idea about what type of government i have
