Jarcast's Hidden Wonders for VP

[jarcast2]

DOWNLOAD v2 (17/06/2025)​

This mod adds 31 new World Wonders to the game.
The mod is meant as both standalone and a companion to More Wonders for VP for big games with 22 civs or when using the 43-civ dll.
Another objective is to give 2 Wonders for every faith-purchase religious building (cathedral, church, monastery, synagogue, mosque, mandir, order, pagoda, stupa, teocalli, gurdwara), whereby all WW requiring a Holy City are mutually exclusive (this applies also to WW from More Wonders mod).

Feedback is appreciated.

A big job with very nice icons . Is it fully compatible with MW? Are there the same build limitation rules with soft and hard version?

I'm not a fan of the hard requirements but I tried to give every WW 2 restrictions so they are not easy to unlock, so it's more something in between.

Yes, I saw that.
I think a unified approach for such similar mods would be preferable, but we're actually halfway there. Great work nonetheless, some very interesting wonders and a very good idea for the faith-purchase religious building.
Italy takes pride of place with four wonders if I count correctly .

 

[Remito]

Very interesting, will try in a next game.
With some of those new wonders and the tundra pantheon you can get some pretty OP tundra tiles quite early on, I will try to get this !

Getting TXT_KEY_BUILDING_[wonder name]_HELP on the splash screen for wonders... at least the ones outside of this mod. Haven't gotten a chance to build anything here.

Ok, let me check.
Do you play with or without More Wonders for VP mod?

 

[pyroflare77]

Without.

 

[jarcast2]

Ok I updated the mod. It should be fixed now.
Try the new download.

Version 2 online.

• Buffed a few Wonders: Temple of Heracles, Great Kyz Kala, Botanic Garden of Padua, Changdeokgung, Damnoen Saduak, Cittadelle Laferriere, Capitoline Museums;
• Also added 2 more: Banaue Rice Terraces (Classical era), Shaolin Temple (Medieval era).

Thanks to @adan_eslavo for his precious advice.

I am playing with previous version, building Kyz Kala gives nothing to oasises. Playing with MUCfVP, MWfVP, Hokath Tweaks and EE.

Thanks for reporting. There was a typo in the lua code (wrong BUILDING_KYZKALA vs correct BUILDING_KYZ_KALA).
Fixed.
Update online.

 

[AndreyK]

If I play with previous version, what should I change?

 

[jarcast2]

If I play with previous version, what should I change?

Go to the mod folder, in the Lua folder open WWonders_Functions.lua with notepad.
Search BUILDING_KYZKALA and replace with BUILDING_KYZ_KALA.

Given the structure of the code you have to rebuild it to trigger the dummy policy that gives yields to oases. If you use IGE remove the wonder then in the city screen set it as first item produced, then IGE click hurry production that reduces to 1 turn the timer then go to next turn.
If you don't have IGE then the changes applies to a new game because the policy is given on construction.

It seems that some WW impossible to build because of Era restriction. In particular, for example, Old New Synagogue of Prague. I got Compass tech and before I was able to build it, I got to Renaissance. Is it possible to remove Era restrictions or move them at least 1-2 tiers of techs? I am playing as Arabia and got 3 techs lead on deity AI's, have war with 3 AI that DoW on me together and have very many things to build. Also WW require more turns to build then tech to discover.

My mod doesn't apply any era restriction.
You must be using More Wonders for VP that has it and you can change it by editing the GlobalSettings.sql file in that mod folder.

Yes, I use it, I set there no restrictions, but those do not apply to WW from this modmod. At least that was the case in previous game (about 7-10 days ago). I did capture city with another religion, converted up to 4 followers and couldn't build Old New Synagogue of Prague.
