Terrific. This was on my to-do list so I can gladly scratch it off. A much needed Wonder.

 

[Hadrean]

SO many new buildings...

[Chamaedrys]

the next one will be a small simple modern railroad station.

I will add this to my current Wonder Package in Progress, I already had a plan for it as well, as the counterpart to the White House (No Num of Cities Maint) this will be No Distance Maint (because the sun never sets on the British Empire orcorse)

If your going RailRoads next I would recomend a "Rail Yard" as in a Freigth oriented kind of Building. The game currently lacks any reflection of how RailRoads affected trade (the Hammer bonus is Industry but thats not adiquite, RailRoads are still to this day the main means of moving most goods). I'm thinking of a series of parrelel tracks with box cars sprinkled about in semi-assembled trains.

@Impaler: I have just finished a small station for passanger trains or public transport. But I like your idea and the rail world is big enough for several buildings.

Ok I have this mostly integrated in the Mod using the desired effect, but I have found that the skin (or perhaps its just the shapow layer) is making the tower almost jet black on its left side (see attached screens), can this be lightened to be either identical to the brightly lit side or just sligtly darker that it. A button would also be handly, I was thinking a close of just the clockface would be nice and destinctive.

I use a size of 2.5 in these screens mainly to get a good look at the building, I'll reduce it to at most 2 probably less in the final version.

Anyone have an Idea for Pre-Tech, I'm using Constituition right now for lack of anything better, I almost wish their was an "Imperialism" Tech that it could go at along with "The East India Company" wonder.

 

[Chamaedrys]

Interessting! I've tried to make a btn with the upper tower, but the clockface might be better.

The Westminster Palace was rebuild in 1834 so "Constitution" is not so bad.

 

[Impaler[WrG]]

Yes time wise its quite apropriate but I also but White House their and that makes the tech a little toooo good, I dont want one player to easily grab both wonders, 2 seperate branches occuring at about the same time would make for an either or kind of situation, you would have to be very good to get both. Alternativly I could bump WhiteHouse to Democracy but again that tech is already strong.

 

[Chamaedrys]

EDIT: Attach a button

Maybe "Liberalism" could be an alternative. The "steam engine" was also an import step for the British Expansion, but I think that this tech is a bit too late for BigBen.

btw: I've fixed your graphic problem. I'll release an update soon
