El Dorado (or Eldorado) was the mithic city on South America, searched by conquistadores: made in gold, it was the symbol of Incas' prosperity.

Lol Rufus, I was drawing this one too. Earlier I used gold mine graphics from another game...

How I've used this: requires a single strategic resource with same name to build this great wonder which will increase trade +1 per tile. Resource and wonder comes with navigation.

Like SuBI said, the man in the splash looks a bit weird...

Click to expand...

Why? He's over a gold platform, so he seem to fly...

Great idea! I'll go one further and make this buildable ONLY by Mesoamerican civs, then +50% luxury, +50% tax, increase luxury trade, increase trade in water, +1 trade, treasury earns 5% and tourist attraction.

Once they find it, other civs from Europe will be falling all over themselves to capture this.

Great idea Rufus!! In fact,it reminds me the Fountain of Youth from Sid Meier's Colonization. It was great when you discovered it when exploring with your Seasoned Scouts

By the way, the genuine ceremony in Eldorado was told to be something like this: the Chief or the Highest Priest was covered with gold dust all over his body (yes,like in Goldfinger movie ) and then he walked into a near lake to clean himself. So,that lake bottom was supposed to be full of gold too.
