[[Southshire#Samcester|Samcester]], the capital of Southshire, features an eclectic mix of English styles. Its main focus is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victorian_architecture Victorian architecture], particularly [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gothic_Revival_architecture Gothic Revival]. Robo's drew the street plan, laid out the plots, and designed all public buildings; the city remains its largest project ever.
Samcester is not the only centrally-planned city on CivClassic, but certainly its most ambitious one. In order to simulate the winding, organic streets of a real English city, the plots are jagged and irregular, and sit at unusual angles. Designing convincing interiors with this tilt represented a profound technical challenge. Some of Samcester's most striking monuments are cathedral-like Samcester Palace, the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Pancras_railway_station St Pancras]-inspired Bugga's terminal, and the extravagant museum of Castle Samuel. The three buildings on King Peter's Square, where most visitors will likely enter the city for the first time, represent the three powers of Southshire's history: the Commonwealth, Yoahtl, and now the Triumvirate itself.
