Maybe something like a rock club or bar for a late game building? I would love to fill everyone one of my cities up with the sounds of classic rock and heavy metal :D

night club?
 
How about
- "Bardic Circle" requires a number of Story Teller Huts same req and obsolete techs.
- "Master of Dance" requires a number of "Dance Halls".
- National Wonder "National Dance Form" req a number of "Master of Dance"
 
More ideas, maybe a video game store and a TV studio for late game buildings? good for happiness :D

There is a Television Station already in RoM I think. And Also a software studio. However an electronics store or video arcade are nice ideas.

It depends on the night club.

I was thinking about that or a disco.

How about
- "Bardic Circle" requires a number of Story Teller Huts same req and obsolete techs.
- "Master of Dance" requires a number of "Dance Halls".
- National Wonder "National Dance Form" req a number of "Master of Dance"

1. I like that idea.
2. Wait is that a building or a unit or promotion?
3.Hmm I don't know but it might be cool to have their own cultural dance.
 
Found some of my old ideas in the request thread.

Ok so I am going to try to make a rough outline of a music / art / dance mod.

Tribal Music (Req Language, Ritualism)
- Performer's Hut
- Drum Maker's Hut
- Flute Maker's Hut

Petroglyphs (Req Stone Tools, Ritualism)

Oy there is a lot of dance, arts and music. I am going to stop for the moment. But here are sources to get ideas ...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_dance
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_classical_music_traditions
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_art

All 3 of these are so closely related that they should be all in one mod. Note I am not sure how detailed we want to take this all. But one thing is for sure is Civ4 has hardly anything involving music and the rest of the fine arts. Music tech is really more when written muci was invented and music has been around for much much longer.

Since "dance" is a military thing....:mischief:. OK only part of dance comes from the martial arts. Did you ever play the "Paths of Destiny" mod for Civ III? It only covered the period up to the Iron Age but had some facinating stuff. Unfortunately they are not implementable in Civ IV. One idea was the reduction in maintenance needed for more modern buildings. The other was to split all the various war like techs up into basic bits. Studying "Cadence" which required dance and (ancient) music let you build formation units like legions and palanxes.

Natya (Req Polytheism, Tribal Music)
- Hindu Dance Theater [Req Hinduism]

Kabuki (Req Drama, Written Music)
- Kabuki Theater [Req Buddhism]

Ballet (Req Drama, Court Dancing)
- Ballet School [Req Theater]

I think these are just examples of the "National Dance Form".
 
I was specifically thinking about a club were local bands perform. Like what the cavern club was like in the 60's in Liverpool, England (which got famous for The Beatles performing there in the early years).

or a jazz club :cool:
