I also found a nice reference artwork with the city of Ctesiphon, I don't know how historically accurate it is, possibly not very, but it's something you can look at and think about.







Unfortunately, I must agree with others' on their opinions about the colors, there is possibly too much blue being used. I think that at the very least, roofs should be colored tan, as opposed to blue. It is generally Bronze Age and early Iron Age near eastern cultures who we generally associate heavily use of blue on buildings with (Ishtar gate for example, or Herodotus's description of Ecbatana). I think you should restrict the heavy use of blue to University structures, monasteries, wonders, and possibly the castle.

I do agree with critiques on the castle, and to sort of rephrase what EBuilder was saying, there were two different types of Persian "castle" structures at the time. On one hand, you had the elegant palaces of the Shah, and on the other, you had the more roughly built, more coarse royal road guard outposts that would have a simple Persian style construction to them with few colors.I also found a nice reference artwork with the city of Ctesiphon, I don't know how historically accurate it is, possibly not very, but it's something you can look at and think about.
