I was just playing C:CTP about half an hour ago and what seems to have
replaced the palace/throne-room/... is an area (maybe an island, as you say)
with a number of monuments that can be improved.

I'm not sure if it's race-dependant at all, but I was playing as the Greeks
and upgraded my ancient Greek theatre to a Romanesque colliseum (that is how
they spelt it - isn't it colloseum?), and there was also a well, a temple, a
house-looking-building (perhaps a palace), and one or two others.

I think that if we _do_ implement a palace/throne-room/monument-island/etc,
that we either make our own (ideas?) or go for the Civ I palace (the least
detracting and most 'rewarding' of the three, IMHO).
