Empire State Building

Long New York's tallest building, the Empire State Building was constructed over eighty years ago during a competition with two other New York skyscrapers, The Chrysler Building and 40 Wall Street, for the title of New York's tallest building, a title which the Empire State Building won. The building took place in the midst of the Great Depression, and became a sign of hope for the city. It also featured a spire which was originally intended to be used as a mooring for Airships, however this was scrapped as it was impossible for the craft to sucessfully dock. Ingame, the Empire State Building provides +35% :c5gold: Gold from :c5trade: Trade Routes, and an additional 8 :c5gold: Gold upon the discovery of Flight. It can be downloaded from Steam Workshop, or via the CivFanatics download database, page Here.
The Empire State Building also features multiple splash screens. To change the splash screen, go to the following filepath, and follow the steps within the Readme file:

Interesting effect, why +3 from flight?

COMPETITION: Find the Easter Egg in the mod and reply here with what you think it is. The first person to correctly guess what it is will recieve my next wonder early!

I wonder what it'll be..... both the wonder and the easter egg..
 
Would you consider doing Nan Madol? It's more of a district than a single piece of architecture (sort of like Machu Picchu), but I think it is cool and unique and and I would love to have more Pacific wonders to play with.

Sounds good, will do so if no-one opposes to it being included (As it is sort of a city)

Easter Egg: King Kong on the last splash screen as a tiny black blob
Correct! A PM is on it's way
 
Ugh! I'm dying waiting for the Templo Mayor wonder! I've got a good quote from an Aztec King if you'd like it....

I'd better go make more icons then, I'd like to make sure there's a stockpile of icons just in case..

Ugh! I'm dying waiting for the Templo Mayor wonder!

In that case this is the one i'll make!
 
More ideas:
Lamanai
Caral (I know, its a city again, but so are Teotihuacan and Macchu Picchu... alternatively, one of the pyramids in it?)
The Pan-American Highway (does that one count?)

The Wat Arun makes it three wonders that give a free golden age, all around the same time, i'm not sure that's a good idea.

The other two are wonderful though.

Hrm, good point. Have you got an idea for another effect?
 
Aye, Culture per pop is indeed possible, it just requires a 3rd party mod. Nonetheless, I've done it before with Florence Cathedral, so no reason not to do so. New version will be released with the next wonder.

Could I request not doing this? As interesting an idea as it is, I don't like having all of those buildings be culture per pop. As a result, I don't use Florence Cathedral much...
