[Addons] Additional Wonders

[ambrox62]

Nazca Lines?

Now I can't answer yes or no.
It isn't on my to-do-list. When I'll complete my list, I might take it into consideration

 

[ambrox62]

What do you think?

I think that if the 85% cap is confirmed I'll change something. May be the Tower effect, but also the broken Wat effect. Reducing it to 50 (instead of 75) seem more balanced imo. In the latter case, I'll include the change into a V.2 Tower mod.

In regards to Moai statues, it seems to work a bit too much like the Seaport currently. I would suggest something along the lines of Civ4, where it simply provided 1 production for every water worked water tile.

Also, would much appreciate wonders that give something other than Great Artist points (the 2 new ones are great in that regard). Getting swamped in GAs with just the seven ancient wonders mod installed

Yes, Moai work exactly like Seaport, but it's intentional. I considered 1 prodXwater tile effect, but I discarded it because CiV cities have a wide number of tiles compared to Civ4

I'm not sure if either of these posts is the one I initially read regarding the 85% cap on border expansion but there seems to be an agreement that this is in fact the case. (You might have to scroll through the second a little one to get to the relevant part.)

That splash image is showing up very blurry for me.

 

[ambrox62]

Yes, I am not very happy with it also.
As I said, I've searched a lot, but haven't found the right picture till now.

Describer gave me some links (severak posts ago), but I dislike models without people into. I worked a bit on the picture in his second link. May be I'll try to resume it.

Anyone else dislike it?
Please, give me feedback on it
Thanks

I could try doing another splash if you give me the dimensions.

 

[ambrox62]

Usually a spalsh is a 972x568 (pixel) picture

 

[ambrox62]

Well, I've worked on a solomon's temple splash image B

Just a mini poll: which do you prefer?
Please, answer -> A / B / none

 

[sukritact]

B is my favorite

 

[Garett20]

This picture may be to modern but might work for the Ishtar Gate.

 

[Sneaks]

B for temple

 

[Pouakai]

B for temple too, at the moment.

(Ambrox62, do you mind if I give the splash to you in .jpg format?)

 

[ambrox62]

No problems

Thanks
Honestly I'm not able enough to transform a modern picture in a historical one. It's a huge work. I already have some pictures for Ishtar Gate and the remainder wonders, although there is always the chance to find better pictures elsewhere

 

[Pouakai]

OK, I did splashes for the Moai and Sphinx, if you like them I'll do more.

Sphinx

Spoiler :

Moai (I was messing around a bit with this one, and liked the outcome

Spoiler :

 

[Sneaks]

Sphinx, I am not a huge fan of. The art effects make it look like a photo from a 1970s magazine.

Moai, I enjoy, but honestly, the pixellation of the sky really detracts from it.

 

[Pouakai]

I know what you mean about the Sphinx. None of the filters I applied gave it the effect I wanted.

Moai was my first attempt, will tune down the pixellynessess in the next version.
