Trivia[]
- Flying buttress is a particular form of architecture; specifically, a feature to support/reinforce a wall which doesn't make contact with the wall at ground level.
- In the context of being part of the religion-themed minor civilizations of The Asian Dynasties, it is likely a reference to the architecture of Christian places of worship, which flying buttresses were sometimes used for (e.g. St. Mary's Church, in Lübeck, Germany).
