Our World: Civilizations of the Modern Age Design Discussion

Yeah, OK, consider me persuaded on Great Works. If the statue replaces the monument, what should it do?

Cost double Maintenance, Trigger a WLTKD or Generates Points towards one. (I've heard the code for the latter is somewhat complex though.)
 
a UA idea for turkmenistan:

Turkmenbashi
+1 :tourism: tourism and :c5happy: happiness for strategic resource type worked by a city. :c5greatperson: great person tile improvements may be used to improve all resources. upon reaching the modern era, may see the unique natural gas* resource.

*natural gas yields 2 :c5production: production and 1 :c5culture: culture. if improved by a great person, yields extra 1 :c5production: production, :tourism: tourism and :c5culture: culture.
 
Hm... what if they started near an Unique Natural Wonder? That being the Door to Hell.
Would that be codeable?
 
Absolutely. Though you couldn't give it a unique graphic if it were to be an actual Natural Wonder.
 
What about an auto-creating Improvement (like in DJSHenniger's Kazhakstan) that looked like it and couldn't be destroyed?

I'm pulling at straws at this point though. :crazyeye:
 
Easy - ExCE adds 15 of them :p (though those ones can be destroyed, but thats a simple remedy)
 
I like Hamm's idea. Statue as a UB to go with it. If I can acquire good art and code, Natural Gas can look like the Door to Hell as an improvement; otherwise, it can go in the city. UU can be.........we'll sort that later. Neutrality can be decision, although how can we make it unique?

Also, the only qualm I have is replacing Tourism, effectively preventing a Culture victory. This will not be a culture victory civ but is it necessary to really get rid of the tourism yield? Although it might be fun to challenge people to win culture with Turkmenistan without Tourism from Great Works, only Wonders and Natural Gas.
 
Hm...

Turkmenistan
Leader: Saparmurat Niyazov
UA: National Revival Movement: Starts near the Door to Hell, an unique Natural Wonder. No Great Work Slots in non-wonder buildings, but can build twice as many National Wonders (?)
UB: Turkmenbashi Statue: Replaces Monument. +2 Culture, +2 Golden Age Points. Costs 2 Maintenance.
UU: ???

Decisions:

Ban Opera

Declare Neutrality

That's my idea, civ indeed is... certainly weird.
 
@SuperWaffle I added a Tourism bonus from the Natural Gas resource to the design because of the immensive penalty of no Tourism from GWs.

Oh, by the way, I won't let Japan slip by so easily. New UA suggestion!

Land of the Rising Sun
Receive a :tourism: Tourism boost with all known civs when you are the first to discover a post-Medieval :c5science: Technology. :tourism: Tourism contributes towards resisting foreign :tourism: Influence.

I had to drop the large population focus, but at the same time I want to keep a focus on xenophobia isolationism. Hence resisting foreign Tourism.

Consequently you may want to have a decision focused on population.

I haven't updated the OP yet but I will be collaborating on Postwar Japan with COF and Light in the East. So we have tentatively adopted the design that COF had planned, from the Civ Request Thread, I believe. This is all to say that Japan is moving slightly out of my hands. The Mangaka and Electronics Factory (under a different name) will still be the uniques. COF, can you post the current design?
 
IIRC, they use the existing Natural Wonder graphics, and are mostly nominal changes. I tried myself once to create a new Natural Wonder (for ExCE), and the game simply wouldn't have a new graphic for it, even though the same graphic worked as a unique resoure - go figure :dunno:
 
Leader: Shigeru Yoshida

UA: Technological Wonders
Starting in the industrial era, all buildings and wonders yield tourism equal to their base yield for 5 turns after being built, yields are doubled if no other civs have built this building. Receive a tourism bonus in the capital whenever a science building is built in the empire.

UB: Kaden Kojo(Replaces Research Lab)
The Kaden Kojo comes slightly earlier than the Research Lab, at replaceable parts instead of plastics, but does not generate the additional 4 science which a research lab does. Instead, the Kaden Kojo generates +2 science on specialists in this city.

UU: Mangaka (Replaces Great Writer)
The Mangaka creates Manga, Great works of writing unique to Japan. These Manga generate double tourism yields for 3 turns when Japan discovers a new technology, this time is increased by one turn for every other civ which has not discovered that technology.

Essentially Urdnot_Scott's design with a different leader and weaker Mangaka.
Once again I could really use help with the manga quotes, I need more of them, and perhaps some better ones for stuff I already have.

Spoiler :
"You are already dead" may be Kenshiro's catchphrase but it feels weak as a quote
 
I think I preferred the former modern Japan, this one looks like it wouldn't do anything at all until Industrial Age, which sounds terrible.

Sorry friend. My last few days have been very busy. I would like to hear the idea but I don't think it'll make it into this first wave. I want to make these civilizations first. But I am interested in hearing your thought!
 
OP updated with the last few days' design developments! Can we talk some more about the PRC? It needs an actual UU.

I agree. Although Urdnot_Scott's designs normally are great, I think this one is a bit weak. It doesn't really fit Japan.
