And now, the file... Enjoy! :D

Also, I haven't a splash yet.. If anyone's interested in making it, the Mauretania is a sister ship of the Lusitania, the one torpedoed by Germany before WWI.

Actually, I didn't know :)

But Ô-Google said me :
'The Mauretania will long be remembered as a legend. Indeed a legend among those who knew her renown and acclaim as the largest, the fastest, and the most opulent liner of her time, but history will record the Mauretania as one of the most enduring symbols of reliability on the North Atlantic. From her launch to the end of her service career, the Mauretania was the comparison to which all contemporary liners of the day were made. '

I could definitly use it as a modern GW granting +1 move for all naval units.

Thanks !

firstly, great work :goodjob:

...I could definitly use it as a modern GW granting +1 move for all naval units...

secondly, and although this is propably not the best place to put this but now that supa mentioned it...
if i controlled two wonders that provide +1 movement, does it stack and provide +2 naval movement, or does it overwrite and only provide +1???

Well, since I've actually done this before. I'd build the great Lighthouse and researhced Navigation, but not magnatism, and built Magellean's voyage, so they were both active at the same time, and yes, IIRC my ships were moving +2 (on top of the +1 I got for playing a seafaring civ), so for a while, I was the scourge of the high seas :lol:

If you are still looking for a wonder splash, the wonder splash for big ben, the one with the stairs, was actually the staircase of the Titanic. I suggest that u use that.

He made the famous ship a wonder, not the country. ;)

I think he is aware of that, he said "entered this thread".. The title is a bit misleading, got me confused at first too :)

I know a lot about cuanard and white star lines, this is more of a white star line ship. I suggest that you change this wonder into the titanic.
