Technology
Tunnelling - allows roads/railroads through mountains

World wonder
The channel tunnel - provides a rail link between two coastal cities on nearby continents/islands, has to be built in both cities
Maybe +1 culture
+1 gold for every city linked by rail
Requires tunnelling

Another idea idea I had was give the English spitfires as a UU, bit similar to the zero I guess but it would be cool to have them in the game.

 

[elniallo]

How about oceanographic institute, same bonus as research lab but plus 1 science for every ocean resource worked by the city. Built instead of research lab in coastal cities.

 

[JFD]

How about a fix for the Kremlin? Make it the actual Kremlin and add St. Basil's Cathedral seperately. How many times must this mistake be made?

 

[elniallo]

New national wonder

Olympic Stadium

Requires stadium in every city

Triggers golden age
Covers 50% maintenance on stadiums
+2 culture

 

[Ghonasiflaids]

New social policy:

Mass media (similar to Piety, but focuses more heavily on happiness.)

Unlocked in the modern Era. Cannot be activated at the same time as piety or tradition. (must also have researched the mass media tech, i guess.)

Opener: +1 hapiness from Colosseums, circus's, theatres, and stadiums.
Finisher: Extra hapiness= 20% of cultral output.
Tier 1
Propaganda: Eliminates the combat penalty from being very unhappy.

Freedom of Press: + 3 and + 1 happiness cultural from Artists, great artist rated improved by 100%

Tier 2


Political Advertisment: Hapiness and cultural buildings Produce +3 gold per turn. (Requires Propaganda and freedom of press.)

Patriotism: +10 hapiness when performing a culture bomb, and culture bombs have doubled blast radius. (Requires propaganda.)

Unbiased Broadcasting: +25% culture when the empire is happy. (Requires freedom of press.)

 

[snipperrabbit!!]

I don't think this "mass media" policy branch is very well thought out. It is overpowered, auto-cycling and you miss too much of what makes modenity stand apart. Also, Free Speech and Freedom of press revolves around the same principles.

[snipperrabbit!!]

You can remove salt & crabs from the resource list now, Pouakai !

(sarcastic mode on)
Also, what is that bronze resource ? It should grows on trees or fall from the sky !

Olympic Stadium

National Wonder. Available at Plastics. Requires Stadiums in all cities to be built. +1 , +1 in this city per status of Declaration of Friendship with other civs and Allied status with City-states (Doubled after the discovery of Telecommunications).

-OR-

World Wonder. Available at Electronics. +1 per stadium in your empire. Activates Olympic Games. Games occur every 15 turns (standard). All civs compete, city-states do not. Winner receives the most medals. Medals are rewarded to Civs based upon their empires. Five medals can be rewarded:

1. Marathon Sports: Awarded to the civ with the most roads
2. Aquatic Sports: Awarded to the civ with the most Harbors/Seaports
3. Winter Sports: Awarded to the civ with the most Ice/Mountains tiles witin its borders
4. Projectile Sports: Awarded to the civ with the most ranged units
5. Strength Sports: Awarded to the civ with the most melee units.

I'm open to more 'medal' ideas.

Winning civ immediately receives +15 influence with all city-states.

 

[Peacemongerer]

Two techs I'd like to see are Mapmaking and City Planning sometime in the Ancient/Classical era.

Mapmaking: Requires Writing and Sailing; leads to Compass. Increases movement and vision of scouts by 1.

City Planning: Requires Construction and Currency. Leads to Civil Service. Boosts food output in the capital by 2 and provides a 10% growth bonus to cities with acces to fresh water.

Two buildings I'd like to see added are:

Governor's Mansion: National Wonder. +1 production, +1 culture and +2 gold. Unlocked at City Planning. Reduces unhappiness from number of citizens in the city it is built by 15%. Must not be built in the capital.

Sanitation System: +1 food and +10% growth in this city. Unlocked at City Planning. Requires a granary in all cities.

A wonder I'd like to see added:

Templo Mayor: +4 faith, unlocked at Theology. All units built in this city gain faith for slaying their enemies. Goes obsolete sometime in the Industrial Era.

EDIT:
I'd also like to see a new terrain overlay or two:

Beaches: Provide +1 gold and cannot be given any normal imrpovements except roads/railroads. At currency, it becomes +2 gold. Scientific Theory adds +1 science. At Flight bring the gold to +3 and at Ecology bring it to +5 gold, +1 food and +3 science. These tiles would be rare (No more than 4 per map). You can also build a "resort" improvement on these tiles starting at Economics which would increase the output of the tile and all surrounding sea tiles by +1 gold.

Natural Harbor: A coastal hex that provides a free harbor to a city build next to it. Any fishing boats in this tile provide an additional +1 food and lighthouses provide +2 food in this tile instead of just +1. Should be a tremendous source of food to cities which have it, feeding larger populations than most costal cities.

Glacier: Found on snow tiles, but provides a source of freshwater (Still no tile yield itself). Also creates a 1-tile radius in which naval units recieve a -25% combat penalty on defense. When Ecology is discovered, provides +2 science.

Rainforest: A forest near jungles could be classified as a rainforest. Instead of acting like normal forest tiles, provides no production and 1 food. If you build a lumber mill or chop it down, it will act like any other forest tile and removes the overlay. Provides +1 science from Universities instead of the +2 Jungles provide, but when Ecology is discovered, you get +1 happiness for every unimproved Rainforest tile in your empire and the science output is improved to +3, (+2 in cities without a University). This makes players decide between productivity and conservation, something current Jungles and Forests no longer really do too much.

 

[GenjiKhan]

Building:Cemetery
Cost:200
Pre-Requisite Tech: Architecture
Pre-Requisite Building: Temple
Maintance: 2 /per turn
Faith: 1 per 5

The idea behind that building came from here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cemetery#Graveyards_replaced_by_cemeteries


Along with that,one suggestion of World wonder is the "Père Lachaise Cemetery",unlocked at "Scientific Theory" . It provides a free Cemetery in the city which was built,+3 /per turn and gives for each Great Person expended .

 

[Harv72b]

National Wonder: National Training Center
Cost: 1250
Pre-requisite Tech: Combined Arms
Other Pre-requisites: Must have built Military Academy in all cities.
All units built in this city receive +30 XP.

Based on:
Ft. Irwin NTC
(Lousy place to live & even worse place to visit )

New Unit: Combat Engineer
Cost: 200
Pre-requisite tech: Replaceable Parts
Non-combatant unit capable of clearing forest/jungle/marsh and building roads, bridges, and forts in both friendly and enemy territory. Can also plant or disarm land mines in friendly territory and disarm them in enemy territory.

New Improvement: Land Mines
Pre-requisite tech: Replaceable Parts
Can be built (planted) by Combat Engineer units. Once completed, an enemy unit moving through that tile will suffer 50 HP of damage and lose all remaining movement points (while also destroying the land mines and any road/railroad on the tile). Land Mines do not remove terrain types when constructed (i.e., forest, jungle) and may not share a tile with any other improvement (save roads/railroads). Can only be seen by Combat Engineer units (optional: mine-clearing promotion could be added for modern-era & beyond gunpowder/armored units).

 

[Peacemongerer]

My question on the landmines is what would appear on the tile to non combat-engineers? Would it be empty or have a dummy improvement? If I see one empty tile in the midst of farmland, it's gonna raise red flags while the AI wouldn't seem to notice.

 

[hobbsyoyo]

Beaches: Provide +1 gold and cannot be given any normal imrpovements except roads/railroads. At currency, it becomes +2 gold. Scientific Theory adds +1 science.

You can also build a "resort" improvement on these tiles starting at Economics which would increase the output of the tile and all surrounding sea tiles by +1 gold.

Makes perfect sense, given all the Bud Light banner planes that get flown over beaches everywhere.

Olympic Stadium

National Wonder. Available at Plastics. Requires Stadiums in all cities to be built. +1 , +1 in this city per status of Declaration of Friendship with other civs and Allied status with City-states (Doubled after the discovery of Telecommunications).

-OR-

4. Projectile Sports: Awarded to the civ with the most ranged units
5. Strength Sports: Awarded to the civ with the most melee units.

I'm open to more 'medal' ideas.

Winning civ immediately receives +15 influence with all city-states.

I would love, love, love for the Olympics to be included as a national wonder. I was thinking about suggesting it, but either of your suggestions (WW or NW) are a lot better than anything I could come up with.

 

[Harv72b]

My question on the landmines is what would appear on the tile to non combat-engineers? Would it be empty or have a dummy improvement? If I see one empty tile in the midst of farmland, it's gonna raise red flags while the AI wouldn't seem to notice.

It would appear empty. My thinking is that this would be much more useful when laid in strings along frontiers, vs. one or two within a city's workable tiles. Of course depending on specific game dynamics your frontiers may be within a city's workable tiles.

Alternately, they could be allowed in combination with other tile improvements, but would destroy those improvements should they ever be detonated by an enemy. What potentially bugs me about stacking them with other improvements is being able to plant land mines on a fort or citadel tile (although planting them around a citadel would be a great way to stop an invasion in its tracks), plus of course the potential for land mine spam in placing them on every tile within your empire.
