Kiyomizu-dera Wonder --- Available online

Why Kiyomizu-dera?

More details:
Winners (7) ---> 5 CiV vanilla, 2 by mods

Argh!

I remember seeing that in a book of World Heritage sites I have, but I couldn't remember the name! Ah well, great to see it ingame, and I love the effect!

Stop one of the hunts

Just now I realize why I'm holding these wonders since ages. I forgot once again that one of them is already been released by 2K. Times ago I made splash and icon for St Basil on Red Square forgetting that The Kremlin was already in game. Now I've forgotten it again, announcing these two new wonders.
Sorry.

Well, you are aware now that one of the two was St Basil on Red Square and that I'll not release it.

But there is still the second wonder to guess....

St Basil sounds great!
Who nows, some day, someone might even mod out the Kremlin from his/her games.
Might even make a mod without it, and then St Basil is a great option to have ,)
You should release it, especially if you already made the art!

If you really like it, I'll release it asap

Pink and White Terraces Wonder --- Available online

Spoiler :

Times ago I was working on new NWs in order to find a way to add them into the game
Unfortunately there is no way to produce NW 3D arts atm
In the meantime try to enjoy such my old attempt as a WW

Ambrox, want me to try and clean up your graphics?

Pouakai · Sep 22, 2011

Brilliant idea on the Natural-world wonders! I might poach some!

P&W Terraces are an awesome wonder that should have been in game from the get-go. Thanks for bringing this to the world mate!

Yes, of course
If you are able to make them closer to 2K models it would be great

I was totally unaware about terraces, but when in january I read about the finding under the lake, I searched more info about them and I discovered this wonder for the first time

I think that if terraces were still alive, modern tourist business would have ruined them as well

Undoubtedly - as it has done for the natural beauty of Milford Sound.

But the question remains, can I use this model for Natural Wonders?

Yes, of course.
Do you know a way to show it on the map? :eek:

Pouakai · Sep 23, 2011

No, I meant having Natural Wonders as World Wonders

ambrox62 · Sep 25, 2011

Yes, of course. There is no copyright on modder ideas.

Pouakai · Sep 25, 2011

Still thought it would be polite to ask

ambrox62 (& helpful friends),

I have a question (and favor) to ask:

Is it possible to add some code to the xml file for a specific wonder that would limit the production of that building to a specific civ (or civs)? I assume this has to be possible as there are civ-specific buildings (e.g. china's paper maker), but I can't seem to figure out how.

For example, I'd like to add a couple likes of to the xml file for The Totem wonder so that ONLY HIAWATHA is able to build this wonder.

If that's possible and someone could give a quick example, i'd seriously appreciate it.
Thanks!

What you ask has already been accomplished

ha you are correct. unfortunately, i have been having some compatibility issues with this mod and the most recent version of Thal's VEM. Since I can't figure out why, and i don't use every additional wonder mod, I figured the most stable way to go about such a change would be to edit the actual wonder mods themselves.

even in the past few minutes i noticed that some additional wonders mods contain the following file:

wonder/XML/Civilizations/wonder_Civilizations.xml

this file contains the following

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<GameData>
<Civilization_BuildingClassOverrides>
<Row>
<CivilizationType>CIVILIZATION_BARBARIAN</CivilizationType>
<BuildingClassType>BUILDINGCLASS_TOTEM</BuildingClassType>
<BuildingType/>
</Row>
<Row>
<CivilizationType>CIVILIZATION_MINOR</CivilizationType>
<BuildingClassType>BUILDINGCLASS_TOTEM</BuildingClassType>
<BuildingType/>
</Row>
</Civilization_BuildingClassOverrides>
</GameData>

If I added something like the following for every civ OTHER THAN Iroquois, would that work?

<Civilization_BuildingClassOverrides>
<Row>
<CivilizationType>CIVILIZATION_AMERICA</CivilizationType>
<BuildingClassType>BUILDINGCLASS_TOTEM</BuildingClassType>
<BuildingType/>
</Row>
</Civilization_BuildingClassOverrides>

thanks for your help

I don't see why it wouldn't, but that would mean the files would be very big and civs which have been modded into your game and future DLC you buy would not be exempt.

understood. very helpful, thanks.

I already have all DLC civs and don't use any other custom ones, so now would be a good time to just heft through the intricate copy/paste find/replace process.

You mentioned file size, does that make a big difference in gameplay (turn time in particular)? Say I add such a file to a dozen or so (now civ-specific) wonders with the additional xml, do you think it would have an impact?

thanks again
