The Great Zoo... Gone? NOOO(and several more "O"s). Such a choise, though, UN and Spaceship, or Great Zoo...

There's gotta be some way you can fit it in? Like making the less SS parts, but having them require various pre-existing Improvements and Small Wonders...

Yeah I know, it upset me too.

If it does not make it in, the only consolation I can offer is that the different traits will use the animal resources differently. Militaristic civs will train beasts for war, agricultural civs will build ranches, scientific civs will explore breeding, industrial civs will use some animals for their muscle. All these improvements will generate animal or human-with-animal units.

There will also be the Dino Park (a near-future Wonder), which will work similar to the Great Zoo, only the only resource needed is the fossils. This was the only way I could somewhat realistically include these awesome PTW units.

There are a few more Wonders that will be similar to the Great Zoo, but those are secret.....

I will be starting up a new thread soon for the revamped version of this mod, now called Destiny Reborn. The reason I will be doing this is that much of it will be changed, as I now have a much better understanding of the game limitations. The Destiny Reborn mod will be based on this mod, and also very loosely influenced by the Destiny Reborn game I am working on (link in sig). It will still be a historically-based epic mod that starts a bit earlier and ends a bit later than the regular game. While mostly reality based, there is quite a bit of alternate history explored, so do not expect a mod that is 100% historically accurate. My goal is to make it fun and interesting, without really qualifying as a fantasy mod.

The new thread will just focus on the new mod, without discussing X mod. This thread will remain open, in case you want to ask if your favorite X mod feature will go along with it. Keep in mind the improvement limit really drove a stake in the heart

Once I write up the intro post in the Destiny Reborn thread and post it, I will link it here, then let this thread fade away – unless someone has questions….
