Civ 5 Design Challenge II - Mechanics

The way that my mind first worked around the prompt was Renaissance Italian patronage, but throughout history there have been many states that have patronized the arts as part of a specific ideology, and any of those could suffice for the prompt. Throw in some interesting uniques aside from this and you've got a design. Next my mind went to industrializing states that bribed or legally paid engineers and scientists from Britain to work in their factories, although this is a period of history I've studied a bit more heavily than other periods of history, so I am probably a bit biased towards strains of thought in following this. My mind also went to the concept of an "American Dream" and the relation of capitalism to this concept in real American society. Just a few spare ideas.
 
Most Serene Republic of Venice

Leader: Doge Enrico Dandolo

The city it is in may not build settlers, but it gives and additional +1 :c5culture: culture and +1 :trade: trade route slot for every adjacent coast tile.

Oh I wasn't expecting another design, was going to do a call out. I mean, only doing Indonesia civs isn't that bad, I always get something out of it at least!
 
Yeah, thats what Im trying to do.. Just want to see how long I can milk out this "17.000 islands and over 650+ cultures" thingy into civ ideas. I've been learning more about the land where I was born and lived, and so far its been great. Plus, Im trying to live up to the overproud Indonesian stereotype I found out about my people on 9gag since that thing is pretty much truth anyway lol.

If you ask me, Im thinking to at least give it another day for our friend in other side of the world, my friend.
Spoiler :
Why dont you also made your own design thread? I think it would sate your own civfanaticsm that I've been seeing for some pages. Then you can team up with other Australians, (since there are actually a lot of them here, geez) to make them come true!

Oh that's going to take a while, good luck then! Yeah I think we'll just wait for the slow coaches to catch up to us. Might as well move it to Friday just in case, and rounding it off the week.

What like a personnel 'say your ideas thread?' I could try something.
 
Okay it's Friday today, we have received more designs since last time and the thread has been stagnant. So I would like a roll out call to see if there are any more design coming out, since we don't want what happened last time. Note that I AM NOT CALLING FOR A VOTE! I just want a roll call so we can know where we stand. Is that okay?
 
I vote for Kul. Since, amongst other reasons, his design seemed to be the most balanced.
 
I vote for Natan's Genoa as I found the UU to be rather unique in its play-style and usage. I also found the UA to be quite good in the sense that you could use it for more than one victory.
 
2 for Natan, 2 for Keniisu, 1 for Kul, 1 for GPuzzle.
 
Actually, 2 for me.
 
Oh yes I didn't see SgtWolf's under the summary. My bad
