That's a pretty elitest view of what culture is. Hollywood has far more impact on far more people than all the paintings hanging in the Louvre.Hollywood is cooler than the Louvre, but it's also much less.... welll. . cultural
I don't really like this effect. I would prefer it to give a production bonus in every city, or every city on that continent, and a free hydro plant in the city itself. If you build one really big dam on a really big river, it should benefit even cities that don't have rivers. Power can be transmitted. Its one thing to have a wonder that can only be built on a riverside city, its another to have a wonder that only benefits a river-oriented civilization. Plus, again, I think it is more interesting if you can have hydro plants in your various cities *and* an extra benefit from the superdam.Itaipu Dam: free Hydro Plant in every city
These are logically backwards IMO. Renaissance Florence is a great example of great person production. Constantinople is a great example of Faith and happiness.Duomo di Firenze (replaces Leaning Tower): happiness and faith
Hagia Sophia: great person bonus
A large faith production in the early game *is* different, precisely because of how faith production mechanics work (you really want it early on to found/expand religions, but there are limited ways to get it), because early faith production matters so much. There is nothing broken with +5 faith from stonehenge. Its very useful, its not too strong. I'd leave it alone.This is why I never liked the base game Stonehenge. It's always been just a slightly more-powerful temple, which is rather bland. Here's a thought... it used to basically give instant culture + culture per turn. What if the new Stonehenge gives instant faith + faith per turn?
I equally assumed everyone knew we were talking about the Florence Duomo. I thought Duomo meant Dome, not cathedral, AFAIK the Florence cathedral isthe only one casually referred to as The Duomo.
I really dislike this. It scales *way* too much. This means a size 12 city is now pumping out 6 faith. That will complete mess up all the faith mechanics. It also devalues the Mosque and other religious buildings. Faith is supposed to be hard to get hold of. If you want Faith to scale with pop, move that to one of the Religion follower benefit buildings. Or at least make it something like +2 faith, +1 faith per 4 pop. +0.5 per pop from temple dramatically increases the total amount of faith generation in the game. By a lot.I changed temples to 0.5 per in the upcoming verson of GEM
