Still needed is a discussion as to what bonuses each wonder provides. Ideas anyone?

I'm assuming you have some stats from the CivIII version. It might be easier to see what those are (or use those initially) and then modify as playtesting occurs.

Costs, tech prereqs, and bonuses are tough to visualize without playing.

Yes, I should do that.
Now where did those Civ3 Install disks go...

Reformatted Wonder list for easier readability;
Added National Wonder: Royal Operahouse

Wonder building jpgs for reference...

http://forums.civfanatics.com/uploads/10966/dr_wonders_jpg.zip

Thanks hex. I love pics, but I think I've mentioned that before. ;)

Some of them will not be of much use since they are interior shots, but at least they may spur some ideas.

Even interior shots can sometimes provide a shape and style for the building.

And atmosphere. Sometimes I just need a thread to start with.

Hex, if you have the time...
The new national wonder, Royal Operahouse will need a video. Can you come up with something?

And I just had another thought with the jpgs of all the wonder videos - we can use them to create buttons (64x64) for the wonders. Do you want to take that on and pass on a bmp of it? Or should I take care of that? If you are going to handle it, I have a template of the button border if you need it.

Email me the template - I should be able to get it done sometime next week. Same with the video...I'll get something up and running.

I'm on vacation until the 26th (It was iffy that I would be able to get the time off with all that is happening in the job transition, and even with the time I'm taking off next week, I still have 6 vacation days due me by the end of December), though I will be painting our living room for the next few days.

I was also able to run off some dragonia related miniposters for promotional giveaways this past week. Unfortunately, I will not have that benefit once I transfer to the new job.

Too bad you won't be able to create more miniposters in the future.
I suggest we have a contest to give those out. after the first beta is released. Maybe something to the tune of whoever can win the game at a certain difficulty first and email us the savegame as proof wins a poster. If you hold onto the posters long enough, we can also hold a similar contest for the 2nd beta release and then the final release.

Too bad you won't be able to create more miniposters in the future.
Well I got 25 of them...

It'll be fun to gradually replace placeholder art with new buildings. Lots of new buildings...

Yes, it will. I think we still need to put the wonder placeholders into place, too. I'll start working on the design for the wonder bonuses too. Feel free to add your own ideas.

Email me the template - I should be able to get it done sometime next week. Same with the video...I'll get something up and running.
New videos look good.

Is there any way to sharpen up the dds wonder/leaderhead buttons? They look extremely fuzzy and blurry - and I know that the BMP files I provided were very crisp and sharp. (as well as the leaderpics)

And a sidenote...The current game runs much smoother for me (no more choppy movie), but I cannot call up the interface ([Alt-I] doesn't work either).

Interface issues can be Custom Assets. If that isn't is blame Darque! :p

Hex, sounds like you have some kind of python or dll issue. Do you have the latest update?

Is anyone else having interface issues?

Also, I'll get around to converting the leaderheads/leader buttons to higher better quality soon. The buttons can be done pretty quick, but the leaderheads will take awhile since I have to resize them to a square before converting to dds.

Found a layout for the Sacrificial Alter of Erythnul: (I had previously called it Shrine of Erythnul)
http://forums.civfanatics.com/uploads/52033/Erythnul.jpg

If I make an open air building with granstands it might look fairly cool.

Go for it :D Make sure the alter is bloody too.

How's this look (untextured)?

http://forums.civfanatics.com/uploads/32561/Ery.jpg

Looks good. You could probobly make the grandstand more solid looking instead of the modern looking benches like in this pic:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fe/Stadium_%283%29_%28archaeological_park_Xanten%2C_G ermany%2C_2005-04-23%29.jpg

Yeah, wouldn't be too hard. That pic is a monster to load!

OK...How does this sound for the design of the Grand Shrine of Erythnul:
Requires: Death Worship
Build 50% faster with marble
+4 Culture
-1 Health for all cities on continent
+1 GP Prophet
Divine Units built in city get free Death I promotion

Looks good.

:bump: Update on bonuses from world wonders in post 1. Any suggestions or changes?

How's this for an untextured Hall of Heroes? I took my basic Amazon building and stole some stuff from Gods of Old.

http://forums.civfanatics.com/uploads/32561/HoH.jpg

Looks like its going in the right direction. Lets try to give it somewhat of a medieval or renaissance feel rather than greco-roman or middle-eastern.

The School of Air Magic (http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=7850). Models by me, rest of the hard work by win. :)
