Ideas for World Wonders

[Ikael]

My opinion:

Statue of Zeus is hugely underpowered...

Well, it's true, so thanks for pointing it out. So what about this:

Statue of Zeus: Triples the influence generated by solving CS quests. Completing quests will give you an additional bonus of military units, money or a great person depending on the type of city state that you helped on the first place.

Apostolic Palace, remove the happiness bonus. City states (and the AI in general) cheat, so they don't need it, and why would I, with the non existent diplomacy, help my 'allies' with happines?

That's a problem of the game, not the wonder my idea was precisely to improve one of the poorer aspects of the game (diplomacy) trought it. Still, it will be quite cool to use in human VS human games and it would also create a quite curious situation: it is a wonder that you will want it to be under your ally's control, not yours. Having a small, powerless, yet friendly civ having it so you can recieve its bonus.

Also, holy crap, screw my idea for the mosque, Asio's is simply freaking great. Original, historically accurate and able to generate synergy with certain social policies and India mad props to you.

- +2 attack for all units
or
- +15% defence for all units
or
- + 2 great generals

Maybe the 'Total War' effect for Trajan's column would be cool !

I had no idea the Blue Mosque looked so much like Hagia Sophia.

Here is a list of wonders I use in my mod, minus the future ones that you probably won't care about.

Some of them are duplicate to what you already have, but most will be new.

Someone is already helping me with splash images, but if you want to try some out or use these wonders for your own mods, have at it. Or especially if you have any 3d ability for the map representations, that would be awesome.

Not sure if you want it, but how about Maiden Castle? a British Iron Age hill fort which was possibly the biggest in europe at the time. http://www.maidencastle.com/ or google for images.

Might fit nicely as an early defensive wonder?

I can do some XML modding if you want to create a company like you mentioned in the Blue Mosque thread. I posted a sample of my work there.

Canadian National War Memorial and Vimy (but that one would be tough).
