我只是想问一问新的美帝建筑做成这种风格，你们滋瓷不滋瓷啊

New US Command Center for EASB Hour.
Since i'm not American, I wonder whether its design fits the stereotypical US style and actually "looks wonderful and American". So anyone bother to have a look?

U.S. in EASB Hour mainly features airpower and high-tech stuff like Laser=, IsRailgun=, and cyan-colored gadgets. Its Tier1 units are the toughest but high-tech units are mostly expensive glass cannons. It may get more units based on real-life though. Its playstyle is somewhat defensive and conservative compared to China(fast attack capable) and Russia(mainly tank spam) in EASB Hour.

There's a opinion that this Command Center looks more of a conventional fallout bunker than a fancy sci-fi-esque Command Center that a post-Zero-Hour US should have. And someone also point out that this Command Center looks just like a upsized Chinese Bunker in Generals.

This building is the first remade US structures, and its design will surely heavily influence all US structures, so I have to be careful, especially when there are different voices in our team...

So three questions:
1.Does it look American?
2.Does it look Generals-esque?
3.Does it fits the US in EASB Hour?

Looks cool except the hologram picture things don't seem very 'all American' to me. It looks pretty "conventional" but I quite like that.

Oh those ad screens are just placeholders: they are merely some random pics I grabbed from my hard disk. How about some suggestions?

Stereotypes I associate with USA

Guns, guns, lots of guns - Americans love their guns
4th july - independence day - fireworks
thanksgiving - turkey
the USA flag everywhere - cos patriots

It doesn't look very Generals-esque or American...but I feel EASB Hour is looking to parody American culture here. So I am going to throw my two cents in:

Overall, it is an excellent SHP but I don't think the structure plays the part that it is intended for. For a Command Center, it looks very under-whelming...almost bunkerish. A quality of American culture is that we are BIG...and by big, we over compensate. So I'd make the structure appear overly-important. Maybe you make it look like a casino or something very flashy like a shopping mall...but it needs to be taller so it can be presented as important. Think of it like Donald Trump...but in structure form.

The added marketing holograms is an excellent idea.

In that case why not just base its design on Donald Trumps house. Laughing

Thanksgiving is just foreplay till Christmas. Americans might celebrate it, but Christmas is more defining of American culture. We're already preparing for Christmas by late Summer.

And cheeseburgers over turkey any day.

Not sure what I can add here, but it doesn't feel American or anything at all really, it's like a high-tech battle bunker that some billionaire turned into a commercial property...

I would do something tall in the same shape, with flat sides and dreary windows, possibly the walls sloping inward instead of outward as you have, with some needless military hardware like auto-cannon turrets sprinkled around it.
