Here I´ll collect Ideas for renaming the existing Wonders (and buildings maybe also)


These have already been renamed and updated:

Spiral Minaret -> The White Tower
The Great Lighthouse -> Glittering Tower Lighthouse
Oxford University -> 8 Colleges of Magic
Angkor Wat -> Mark of the Old Ones
Globe Theatre -> Tristan's Theatre
Notre Dame -> Shrine of the Holy Grail
The Great Library -> The Black Library
Wall Street -> Great Bazaar
West Point -> The Tilean War Academy
Taj Mahal -> Palace of the Wizard Caliph
Stonehenge -> Standing Stones
The Sistine Chapel -> Hall of the Kings (now uses Parthenon art)
Ironworks -> The Great Forge
The Parthenon -> The Grand Cathedral (now uses Sistine Chapel art)


I still need names for the remaining three:

The Colossus
The Hagia Sophia
Hermitage

 

[Duke van Frost]

And here will be the place for Wonders and Buildings that perhaps will be added to the game.

If you want something to be added to the game please give a description of what it should do (have a look at the two first posts).

 

[Ploeperpengel]

Here's the Griffongate

 

[Psychic_Llamas]

i was doing some reading of my wood elf book and came across these things that would make good wonders. (all found in Athel Loren)

~The tower of the Eternal Wood: (an ecentric spellweaver of the woodelves built it and seeld himself inside. it remains as a mistery.) probably good for science and magic??
~The Oak of Ages: (The giant tree that Ariel and Orion are reborn in ever spring) Extra science and Could make Spellweavers get the imortality promotion from FfH?
~Waterfall Palace: Special wood elf wonder, replaced forbidden palace?
~The Wildwood: builds a dryad every 10 turns?
~Tears of Isha: Units built in this city get the blessed promotion from FfH?
~The Tree of Woe: Makes Drycha (dryad Hero) avaliable. (when heros are implemented)
~The Wild Heath: gives +50% defence to the city, and increases magic use?
~The Vaults of Winter: Lost elven Artifacts (buildings like national wonders) become avaliable to be built in the city?
~The Crystal Mere: not too sure, its a major magic area in Athel loren...


Some other elven wonders i can think of are:
The Underways. free sewer in every city? +1 trade route?
Vauls anvil
the isle of the dead
Shrine of asuryan
Shrine of khaine
The white tower
Glittering ower lighthouse

And other wonder ideas:
The 8 colleges of magic

Spoiler :

the 8 colleges of magic n Altdorf:
"There are eight colleges of magic, one for each of the ‘colours’ of the winds of magic: Amber (beasts), Amethyst (death), Bright (fire), Celestial (heavens), Gold (metal), Grey (shadow), Jade (life), and Light (light). The three most spectacular college buildings - the flame-topped towers of the Bright college, the lofty spires of the Celestial college and the mystic pyramid of the Light college – are magically concealed so that few residents of Altdorf are even aware of their presence. The Jade college, a thing formed from living trees, is hidden behind high stone walls. The Grey college is a run-down building located in the city’s poorest slums, and allegedly connects to many secret tunnels. The college of the Amethyst order overlooks the infamous haunted cemetery of Old Altdorf, the resting place of the plague victims, and few dare go near it. The Alchemists of the Gold college maintain a vast, smoke-billowing forge complex, and pollute the river Reik with their arcane chemicals. Only the Amber order has no college within the city, preferring instead the caves of the Amber Hills, away from the civilisation that is the antipathy of their magic."

The great bastion
the great maw
the moot

 

[Ploeperpengel]

For Tombkings:

unique wonders:

Pyramid of Eternal Life:
(prereq: like vannila pyramid, buildable only in capital-requires palace):
normal pyramid art but we should find different effects, should be less strong maybe only the boni not the civics

Black Pyramid:
should also be made Tombkingspecific(requires tech necromancy and can only be build in the city where is the Pyramid of Eternal life)

OK, but if we start doing unique wonders, at least halöve of the civs should have some, or those with unique ones lose the ability to build some others.

But the whole thing with unique wonders would eliminate the wonder race effect of the game (so maybe make for example the pyramids available to all undead civs?).

 

[Duke van Frost]

To take up some of the ideas P.L. posted:

the isle of the dead -> already in the game

shrine of asuryan -> already in the game

the white tower -> maybe a good name for the spiral minaret we have now?

Glittering ower lighthouse -> maybe name for the great lighthouse?

8 colleges of magic -> oxford university?

the great bastion -> already in the game


Don´t know anything about the other wonders (if they could be used to rename vanilla ones, or what effects they should have as completely new ones)

thx for the input P.L. i hate the wonders having the names of vanilla ones.


@Civmansam: as soon as you read this, please tell me if you´re going to do the xmls, now that the new SW is out (I think I´ll have a little Sci-Fi game tonight).

 

[Ploeperpengel]

The civs will all get one or two unique wonders. They may race for the rest which should be plenty still. However that's planned for after the next patch. I want to wait for Warlords to give this idea a real go.

 

[Psychic_Llamas]

cool, i love unique wonders, two each is and awsome idea. i vote the Oak of ages for the wood elves and the Tower of the eternal wood OR the Wildwood.

 

[Psychic_Llamas]

Ankor Wat should be renamed The Mark of the Old Ones.

 

[Duke van Frost]

post #3 now contains a list for suggestions of renaming Wonders and Buildings.

Post #4 wil contain a list of what should be added to the game.

 

[Psychic_Llamas]

Sorry, one of my typo's appears to be a wonder, its Glittering Tower Lighthouse. I cant believe this, im going to have to tripple check everything to prevent all of my stupid errors

 

[Duke van Frost]

NP, since every version will be checked before being given to the public.

 

[Duke van Frost]

The new Art for the Griffongate arrived:

 

[Ploeperpengel]

Good job, Duke!

 

[Civmansam]

Do you want me to do some civ specific buildings? It would be pretty easy with python I think. I wouldn't create a new tag, I'd just have a check to see if the what civ it is and then make a prereq for the building

 

[Duke van Frost]

would be a good thing, we´ll need this sooner or later, but not for the next release. Data should be ready on friday, and I don´t think we´ll get gfx for civspecific buildings. but If you mean only different gfx for each civ for the same building, there is, I think, already the ArtStyle tag in the L-systems.

 

[DutchJunkie]

In my opinion the Cauldron of blood is an must have building for the Dark Elves. I tried figuring to fit the cauldron in as a unit .. but it's better t make it a building.

It should give the surrounding tiles an extra strength bonus or something like that. You can compare the cauldron of Blood with the potion in the asterix and obelix comics
