SOTD19: Glowing In The Dark

**Ginger_Ale** · Apr 10, 2009, 08:22 PM

Thanks to peteraske for our nineteenth screenshot of the day:

"The eternal fire in the top of The Colossus seems to pierce through darkness. Must be easier to navigate by this, than by the Great Lighthouse"

To clarify the situation a little bit: in between the fog of war and the city of Mutal, you can see a coastline. This allowed Mutal to build the Colossus, whose wonder graphic is a statue holding a torch. In this case, though, the torch is bright enough to be seen through the fog, even when you cannot view the statue body itself!

Looks like a lightbulb to me.

That's just awesome!

More clarification: the reason you see the torch is because the city is visible, and the statue is part of the city.

This SOTD is actually a cool one! This is a pretty rare circumstance that I wonder if anyone else has ever seen ...
