VP Congress: Session 5, Proposal 79


Recall that production cost of an National Wonder is base cost * (1 + number of cities * 25%). Per city scaler is 10% instead of 25% for Unique National Wonders.

**SPECIAL NOTE: If proposal 5-13 passes, https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/5-13-america-3-wonder-slater-mill-changes.684368/
, this line in the table will be ignored.

New base cost is the building cost of the same tier divided by 250%, which is the scaling if you have 6 cities.

Rationale:
The 125 :c5production: Production base cost is a leftover value from BNW, which limits the building of National Wonders to having the required building in all cities.

VP removed this requirement and instead requires only one building and reaching a certain empire :c5citizen: Population, while also increasing the :c5production: Production cost based on the number of cities (punishing wide). This with the constant 125 base cost means that National Wonders are extremely expensive in early game but always cost 1 turn to build in late game.

This proposal intends to make it so that they cost roughly the same as a regular building.
