SoI doesn't have the problem that the settler map is at the same time the stability map.
 
The Three Gorges Dam wasn't even built yet when the list you're referencing was made (in 1994), so that's hardly relevant. Although I agree that the dam in-game should be renamed to the Itaipu Dam--if only because only Brazil has a UHV related to it. The Three Gorges Dam and the Itaipu Dam are pretty interchangeable in terms of impressiveness, each having their own significant aspects.

True, but that just goes to support the argument for the Itaipu Dam. If two structures with similar capabilities and no really distinguishing features have been built around 30 years apart, then the one built earliest is the more 'wondrous' as it was built using earlier technology and before the concept was proved.

Same logic for arguing in favour of Wembley rather than the Maracana - two similarly large stadiums, but one was built much earlier and hence is the more impressive.
 
With the new levy armies civic, shouldn't the levy unit be removed? It seems kind of redundant.

Also, unrelated question, but how exactly is the last Ottoman UHV goal calculated? Does it mean you have to more units than anyone else?

Yes. You already can't build it anymore.

The same way military power for the power graph is calculated. More powerful units are valued more, and military buildings and techs count to a certain degree as well.
 
I play the current svn version, can I change background music of the modern era and how?
Look into Assets\XML\GameInfo\Civ4EraInfos.xml and the referenced songs in Assets\XML\Audio\Audio2DScripts.xml and AudioDefines.xml to see how songs are defined and added to eras. You should be able to replicate this for your own songs then.
 
Three Gorges should be renamed Hoover Dam IMO
 
Maybe even just "Great Dam"? I think it's a benefit that many classical wonders follow this naming scheme because it makes it less immersion-breaking when the "wrong" civs build them.

I don't suppose there's any conditional or dynamic way to name wonders? So if China builds it then it's the Three Gorges, if US it's the Hoover Dam etc? Tho' I guess that would be very complex and a bit strange, you don't necessarily want it to be the Three Gorges Dam if China builds it in Beijing, nor would it be appropriate for England to have the Thames Dam.

Maybe Great Dam, Global Sports Stadium etc would be the best option for many modern wonders, and arguably in line with the classical wonders - it's not the Colossus of Rhodes for example.

How do I enable the AI getting UHV's?

The AI does get UHVs. But the AI is usually not good enough, or focused enough, to succeed in getting them.

Exactly. Even though I would keep Wembley because imo Wembley is more prominent compared to other football stadiums than the Three Gorges Dam is more prominent compared to other Dams.

Dynamic names aren't really possible unless I create UB versions of this wonder for all civs and even that could have unintended side effects.
 
Wonders need to be reworked overall. What was your opinion on the Wonders and National Wonders thread?
 
I might be wrong about this but I vaguely remember working out how you could rename wonders based on who built them. Never tried it though, so still theoretical.

Why not? You'll have the oportunity to see the Hanging gardens of Thebes, the colossus of Athens, the Pyramids of Babylon...:D

Afaik building names come directly from the XML so unless you hard code something ugly into the GameTextManager unique buildings are the only solution. Which would lead to unintended results in situations like city conquest etc.
