Possibility of future Wonder DLC?

Pouakai · Sep 16, 2011

Okay, so the recent DLC prooved they will add Wonders through DLC. In the game files are art for the Three Gorges Dam and the Panama Canal. There is also art for the Large Hadron Collider, but this is also black. Ambrox62 has created these using the art, so here are his screenshots:

(Note: Effects and quotes are not those intended by Firaxis)

wow that looks nice

The art exists, but I have a feeling they'll appear in an expansion, not a DLC. Maybe a modern/future era themed expansion.

Also, the fake quotes are way too long.

If so, I hope it is more Industrial / Modern instead of Modern / Future. There are other wonders worthy of inclusion, and I feel there is more scope for expansion of military and buildings in this time (Dive bombers, Zepplins, etc.)

Agreed.

3 Gorges would create a pure beast mode :c5production:

city. Imagine being on a forked river with a tradition capital, that thing, and a Hydro Plant. Ye gods.

Pouakai · Sep 16, 2011

Again, the effects are not those within the game, they were added by Ambrox62 who used the art within the files

joncnunn · Sep 16, 2011

agreed; 3 Gorges should instead:

1. Grant a free Hydro Plant in the city building it AND
2. Increase hammer production of every river tile in the empire by just 1 [stacking with Hydro Plant]
and should not improve lakes at all.

I'm also thinking Panama Canal should require a city be built on a hex that connects two oceans. If it's just any coastal city, it amounts to a much easier to build Mt Piccalilli

Isn't it strange how the art already exists?

These new wonder paintings were already reported in June in this thread and discussed extensively.

Pouakai · Sep 17, 2011

I was aware of that, but didn't want to bump an old thread

The last reply is three weeks old, so that isn't really old

But I reckon a moderator can merge these threads

You'll also find art for some missing natural wonders in that thread too

I saw that - Lake Titicaca per chance?

Probably

(although some people were also guessing at the Everglades, which would make a nice natural wonder too

)

Pouakai · Sep 17, 2011

Aye, that it would. The reason I guess Titicaca and not the Everglades (which ordinarily would come first) is twofold:
- Titicaca was confirmed pre-release
- There are already three natural wonders from USA

I'm honestly surprised they don't have Everest though, Uluru would be nice as well and i'd enjoy seeing the Grand canyon.

Pouakai · Sep 17, 2011

We did have a screenshot pre-release of Mt. Everest in-game, courtesty of Azazell.

Grand canyon would be amazing.. but america has to many geological wonders already :/

Not really, it's pretty common for games to have unused content left in their files. A few times that happens even on purpose, as some kind of easter egg.

Those were probably planned to be included with the game, but later scrapped. They might be still used later, indeed, though.

but that's because its a geographically interesting country...

sukritact · Sep 18, 2011

There are quite a few possible possibilities:

Niagara Falls
Angel Falls
Grand Canyon
Matterhorn
Everest
Uluru (Ayer's Rock)
Ha Long Bay
Galapagos (it could be similar to Krakatoa, but with different yields and art)
Vesuvius
