Feats of Wonder!

[music_theory7]

A long long time ago there I remember there was this game whose name I can't remember that was pretty similar to Civlization but it had this neat thing called Feats of Wonder.

These are basicly actions that are great and you get benefits for being the first person to do it.

Ideas:
If you are the first person to sail around the world you get a sea movement bonus for 20 turns.

If you are the first to win a army victory you can get something along the lines of first recorded battle in history! (Like that Kadesh battle) and this could give all the units you procduce vetern status for the next 25 turns or so.

Scientific ideas like first airplane unit produced can get a small science boost, etc

The first wonder made can get something like the oldest great wonder of the ancient world and get a culture border bonus for the turn # of turns.

If you are the first person to build 4 forts on adjacent tiles you can have something like the "Great Wall Feat" or some other fortification feat of wonder.

These could be requirments for some wonders or just addition things along with the regular wonders.

There are tons of possibilities! These add spice and while minor but lots of fun to the game. I really hope that those CIV DEVELOPER GUYS ARE ACTUALLY READING THESE FORUMS!

So what do you guys think?

Nice, but hardly any chance that they'll include this. You can mod this in though!!

No you can't if Civs 1-3 have been any guide. There is no way to mere user actions become anything in the game context, outside of combat or terrain modification. Also, how would he code "once user travels around the globe, give x"

I'd like it. Magellen Voyage should be like this. Now, he can trevel around the world when you only have one interior sea in all the world. It can even be only one sea tile.

CTP had this, at least the second version, and it was a great idea, imho... But I doubt it gets in for civIV, civV could be possible though...
As for the question, if this could be modded in, I would think that the "If xy happens for first time, give according civ z" could be done. The question is wether the computer actually can calculate certain conditions (such as 'sail 'round the world' or Great wall)? Can any python-modder answer this?

As to the question of possibility, most likely (but don't quote me on that until I see the "SDK"), yes it can be done.

 

[music_theory7]

Yeah that was the Game CTP! It was pretty crappy but this was a good idea.
I mean why can't those developers actually look at our ideas??? This should really be included.

 

[mastertyguy]

They look at them, don't worry. But don't expect everything to be conmsidered.

It's a good idea, but I like a good Wonder race with another Civ once in a while, so my vote is to keep it the way it is.

 

[Crazy Eskimo]

I like this idea. Kudos!

Actually, you can have both Feats & Wonders - CTP2 had both, and they go together very well.

 

[Carver]

Yes, I liked the way CTP2 had both. They should put a few of these (especially circumnavigation) in the game!

 

[GoodGame]

Cool idea. Better than just an abstract wonder version.

 

[Napo981]

I was just thinking about that!! You stole my idea.

I definitively vote for it!!
