Buildings and Wonder Design

[Psychic_Llamas]

Hmmm, perhaps it could also be unique in that the Dark Elves Cannot declare war on Chaos or vise versa, because they are worshipping them, and declaring war on you own gods is, well, ludicrous

@ All:

I still need new names for the following wonders:

Hermitage
The Colossus
The Hagia Sophia
The Parthenon
The Sistine Chapel
The Taj Mahal

Some elven- (Dark, High, Wood, whatever) or dwarven- maybe also skaven-named wonders would be good!

And one small question: does anybody know what the TXT_KEY_..._STRATEGY tags in the BuildingsInfos.xml are used for? And which other XML file uses these tags? I´ll have to edit this one to, but maybe I´ll have it figured out until tomorrow.

@ Ploe:

just read that you wanted to have the trait entries also removed from the Civ4GameTextInfos_Objects.xml - I´ll do that until tomorrow and maybe post the file here.

Take the Palace of the Wizard Caliph for Taj Mahal.

Txt key Strategy is for the strategy advisor in the game

Good idea for Taj Mahal

other ideas:

The Colossus: The Titan of Glory ((invented), stands at the Mouth of one of the Great Tilean Ports)
The Hagia Sophia: The Yogi Abbey ((invented0 place in ind where the Yogis go for their final training)
The Parthenon: The Temple of the old Faith ((Invented)the one and only building constructed specifically for the worship of the Old Faith)
The Sistine Chapel: Theogonist Hall ( (invented), the place where all of the grand Theogonists are entombed)

 

[Duke van Frost]

Hm, to be true I don´t like the invented ones
Rather would like to see to have real WH Buildings as wonders.

I´ll have a look at the civ3 Mod today and come up with the rest of the names for tomorrow.

 

[Duke van Frost]

If you want to keep yourself informed, which Wonders I´m about to rename to what: always have a look at the 3rd post and state your comments, if your fine with the changes I´m about to do!

 

[Psychic_Llamas]

I like the latter two: Theogonist Hall (sounds great) and The Temple of the old Faith (name is good, the reason fot the name too ) Although it could also be a hall of a Dwarven hold, let's say the capital .. The vault of Karaz-a-Karak ..

Maybe let the first one be The titan of Spite port? Spite port is a warhammer harbor (99% sure )

Hagia Sophia is a mosque, so i'm immediately thinking of something in Araby or the surrounding areas.

This afternoon i will take a look at the wonders in Civ3. Maybe that can give me some ideas ..

 

[Psychic_Llamas]

yeh, good point about the Hagia Sophia.
I didnt know of any real WH ports, pther than the Suidocks in Westerland, Titan of Spite Port would be good though.

The suidocks is a good wonder, but not that original (wh4 mod) imo .. maybe a civ-specific wonder?

 

[Psychic_Llamas]

suidock could be a Reikland only wonder (unless we include westerland as a separate race)

 

[DutchJunkie]

Westerland is a unique race in WH3, but quite small .. that point needs some serious thinking in the future .. we already got plenty of civs

 

[Psychic_Llamas]

yeh, i agree. we already have more civs than we need. but the suidock could still be a Reikland only wonder

 

[DutchJunkie]

totally agree .. I added it to the future thread

@Duke
I'd like the glittering Tower renamed to Lighthouse of Manaan, please.

@the others
Please check the civ3 before you invent names. More than two years developement made that quite a polished product. It's got plenty of wonders so there certainly isn't a reason to invent names now until we decide to put in a wonder they don't have.

@Duke

Fine with me - you seem to had a look at the civ3 mod, didn´t you

But I´d like to get some names for wonders that aren´t in the civ3 mod.

For example I took the "Floating Gardens of Lost Xholankhe" instead of the Oasis (can´t remember the exact name) they have in the civ3 mod for the Hanging Gardens. And I think it fits quite well.

 

[Psychic_Llamas]

FYI, the glittering Tower is not an invented name, it is infact the lighthouse which was build by the highelves to mark the entrance into the Inner Sea through the Straights of Lothern. it is also a very important piece of High elven architecture.

perhaps we should have votes on these things, on whether we should Copy/paste wonders from civ 3 into civ 4 or to make this more of an individual mod.
