Torres del Paine: Ground units that move next to Torres del Paine ignore Rough terrain for the rest of the game.

"We want to reduce micromanagement" I really dislike these kind of bonuses that require you to mindlessly shuffle around units in order to work... Can't these wonders provide an ability for all units (à la build fortifications) that they can perform for 3 turns and afterwards they are trained and get the same skill?

I agree here. Also, "there are no promotions on units", but promotion-like upgrades from natural wonders are still there.

 

[Giskler]

Yeah, I'm not a fan.

 

[Giskler]

Kilimanjaro doesn't seem to have any added effect, just big yields?

 

[Siptah]

I agree here. Also, "there are no promotions on units", but promotion-like upgrades from natural wonders are still there.

There are also others that are called keywords. Some are built into specific units, others can apply to all units via ability or civics: amphibious & swift, for example.

 

[Giskler]

No tooltips yet, but here we can see the yields for Valley of Flowers and Great Barrier Reef. Note: The yields are increased for Valley of Flowers because of Isabella.

Edit: I lied, here's one tooltip:

 

[Giskler]

Again, yields are increased because of Isabella.

Yeah, but in all other cases, they are part of the unit class, not individual unit.

 

[Giskler]

Finally found this one.

Including this since I've seen it mentioned that it adds gold in addition to the bonuses to rivers, but there doesn't seem to be a flat gold bonus.

[Giskler]

I think that concludes all the tooltips for wonders from Antiquity and Exploration.

+2 Culture on Rough Terrain in this Settlement.

And that's all of the natural wonders.

Ah yeah. Nice.

We did see Vinicunca (image with name, no yields) in a YouTube video, but the video was taken down and Vinicunca was edited out. It might be DLC content

 

[Giskler]

Grand Canyon with yields showing.

Quechua is still spoken and has an official orthography.

OK, but all orthographies and romanization systems are political. For example, Chinese attitudes to Pinyin and Japanese attitudes to Hepburn are very different, mostly because one was created domestically, and one externally.

I know almost zero about Quecha, but I always want to push back against the concept of uncontested 'official' orthographies.

For example, maybe there are Quecha people who reject the 'official' orthography.

Respecting official romanization makes sense.
Suspecting some native speakers rejecting it? Do you have even any clue about it?

And moreover, what can we have then? The unofficial romanization that made by Spanish? The knotted cords? I don't know what are you trying for.

How are you guys not talking about Great Britain and Carthage new images????

You can see Battersea Power Station (new improvement?) and something that looks like Trafalgar Square (new quarter?). IDK, maybe it has a National Gallery and a British Museum (science and culture bonuses?)

And in Carthage, obviously, the cothon as a Unique Improvement, and a new wonder: the Temple of Eshmun (it was a healing god, so expect something related to that).

 

[Ryansinbela]

How do you know it is the Temple of Eshmun

 

[Alexander's Hetaroi]

It was talked about on other threads. It looks like the Battersea Power Station might be their associated wonder. The quarter might be a Bank Junction based off of where the Royal Exchange is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank_Junction

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

The Carthaginian wonder is probably Brysa. The whole hill is there.
