More Wonders

Florence Cathedral

Florence's Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore (Basilica of Saint Mary of the Flower) dominates the Florence skyline to this day. Construction began in 1296 and took nearly 150 years, not being completed until 1436. The Cathedral is an engineering marvel, with the Octagonal dome spanning 44 metres at a base height of 52 metres above the ground. Ingame, the Florence Cathedral provides +1 :c5culture: Culture and +1 :c5faith: faith for every two :c5citizen: citizens in the city. The Florence Cathedral can be downloaded from Steam Workshop or the CivFanatics Download Database, page Here.

Nice pictures!
In a previous test game, I've seen the Polynesian capital with 35 citizen. The cathedral would have been a great addition there. And I thought the Broadway had too much culture. :)

Are you aware that this 'Culture per Pop' mod also changes all culture buildings?
It's quite drastic rule change if someone just like to play with your wonder.

I prefer third-party mod independent custom wonders but the attribute addition itself is nice though. It could be a candidate for the BMF mod.
 
doesn't Building_YieldChangesPerPop work with YIELD_CULTURE?

edit: yeah its not working :(

Yup, there is no YIELD_CULTURE defined in CIV5Yields.xml and supported by the code. Bad devs! :(

Based on vanilla, there are only those culture non-plot building options:

Culture: x for this city
CultureRateModifier: x% for this city
GlobalCultureRateModifier: x% for all cities
SpecialistExtraCulture: x per specialist bugged
Building_ResourceCultureChanges: x per resource nearby city

Maybe the upcoming patch will introduce another one but I haven't seen any clue in the patch notes yet. The devs are quite stingy and usually only include what they need themselves.
 
SpecialistExtraCulture: x per specialist
This is bugged. When just built it works as intended, but later - I don't know when or how - the bonus culture goes through the roof in many cities, without any relation to specialists employed there.

For the culture per pop CiVUP has an alternative to Mylon's version (I no longer used the latter in BMF since the merge). You could use those XML tags, so it works for anyone playing with TBC or BMF?
 
You have some excellent wonder icons/splash screens. A question, what do they look like in the game itself? Do they show up on the map?

My suggestion for a wonder would include Petra in Jordan, and the Bamyam Buddha Statutes formerly of Asia. I think these wonders are particularly amazing in light of when they were made. The other I would like to see is Trafalgar Square, with it being tied to Navigation, a tech that is put off too easily.

But really, I'm planning to start a small mod after the next patch/DLC. I think 1) the tech tree needs balancing, 2) units need more required techs (so you can't build Infantry unless you can build rifleman, or Mech Infantry if you can't build tanks, etc.), 3) a few civs need buffs, and 4) a few new Wonders would be nice in some of the leaner techs to give incentive to research those techs. But that's a ways away, I'm in the middle of a complicated work project and have sworn off all modding (because it consumes a bunch of my time) until August. I still have to update my Civ IV mods!
 
Another two wonders you should consider doing is Vilcabamba in Peru, still a myth but thats where the incas went as a last refuge from the spanish, and Abu Simbel in upper Egypt. i love all these wonders but i would like to see them as one whole Mod pack, and another one for the wonders to be in coordination with the specific civilization, as a stand alone pack besides the modern wonders as they can be built by civs that dont have their own wonders.
 
Olé! :D

No river requirement?
"The Torre del Oro (Spanish: "Gold Tower") is a dodecagonal military watchtower in Seville, southern Spain, built by the Berbers during the Almohad dynasty in order to control access to Seville via the Guadalquivir river."

I see your list never gets shorter. I hope you don't forget your updates. What was it? Teotihuacan, Alhambra, Temple of Heaven?

You could really set this wonder apart from Machu Picchu by giving it a different terrain requirement. It's uniqueness could've been justified by making it a higher bonus for overseas trade routes but I guess that could not be coded. :( I say you make the city it's built in require river and coast. Mountain commerce = Machu Picchu, trans-atlantic commerce = La Torre del Oro. Naturally with all the extra gold tiles, the wonder will now be built in a city that's already wealthy... like Seville :) I do think you should mention Seville in the pedia entry, all the other wonders mention their hometown.

Now, with all due respect, sir, here a few images better than your current one with the Triana apartment building in the background. :D

Hi! I will be releasing new versions of all the wonders soon, as the new patch has changed costs of them. In the new version of Torre Del Oro I will add the much-requested river requirement, the mention of Seville and have it give the city a free harbor, so the city does become a center of overseas commerce. Also, I don't really like using standard oil paintings as splash images, so thanks for the suggestions, but at this stage I think I will keep the splash as is ;)
You mentioned earlier you live in Spain. Would you like to do a spanish translation for the wonders?

Abu Simbel is allready a mod by the maker of the epic icons, sukritact. It can be found Here
As for Vilcabamba, I don't think I will do it as it is allready a city in the Incan city list. Thanks for the suggestions though, keep them up!
 
sir, here a few images

I really like the 2nd, expecially because it has the right size for a splash (the others are small). I've transformed it in a CiV splash dds. Rename it and replace the original one, if you like it more than the original one, although the original is good as well.

A perfect splash will eventually come up for it, the apartment building in the current one just bothers me.

Sure, for all those you've released in this thread?
 
Aw, that silly Torre del Oro tower has received a free Harbor and Temple of Heaven no free Temple or Wartburg no Castle? I'm disappointed now! :(

Are you still going to update Teotihuacan too? It could still need a proper icon if I may innocently remark.

The free harbor was to make the city a center in maritime trade. The next wonder I'm going to do will have a free temple.

Teotihuacan I haven't updated yet because I am waiting for sukritact to fix the icon whenever he can
