More Wonders

[The Loot]

Any E.T.A. on a All-in-one Pack? Or do you still have more wonders to go for?

 

[Pouakai]

On the OP there is a list of wonders I will be doing still. Any chance of an all in one pack will come after those.

 

[Mentos]

Here are some suggestions to bring a few of your wonders into line with the upcoming patch changes:

Teotihuacan: +4 Happiness next to Golden Age, Cost 600 -> 420
- Chichen Itza's (Cost 350 only pre-patch) Golden Age duration effect is regular while Teo's is only one-shot, so it’s fair to give Teo Happiness as well. We can't have enough happiness, can we?

Temple of Heaven: free Temple
Oriental Pearl Tower: free Broadcast Tower
Broadway: free Theater
Malwiya Minaret: free Temple
Alhambra: free Castle
Wartburg: free Castle

CN Tower: free Broadcast Tower
Kornak Sun Temple: free Temple
Kronborg: free Castle
Sky Tower: free Broadcast Tower

I like the idea of free sub-buildings. Maybe you will already have a certain free-building built in the city where you finish that particular wonder but there can always be exceptions to the rule. Even if you haven’t researched the sub-building yet, it just feels right and makes sense. Wonders already take enough time to build.

 

[Pouakai]

Seems like some good ideas there. I'm definately going to utelise their new Haiga Sophia effect

 

[Mentos]

It looks like there will be at least one new building attribute to toy with later for new wonder ideas, like:

- Eiffel Tower now give 5 Happiness plus 1 for every 2 Policies adopted

So many changes. Possible that building/wonder costs have also changed together with technology costs. Let's see later...

It's only three wonders to which the free building applies and they all have the free building in their name. It appears just to counter the "I already have the GREAT library, why do I need to build another in this city?"-arguments. The Sydney Opera House doesn't grant an opera house though, probably due to the tech lag. I'd stick with the *tower, *temple* and -burg/borg wonders. Which is most actually.

I noticed that art quality of latest wonders has been really high
Well done

 

[Pouakai]

Thanks. Sukritact is doing an amazing job, and I'm really proud of some of the recent splashes I've produced (Taipei 101, Malwiya Minaret and Grand Canal feature on my desktop image rotation )

 

[JaeChunDaeSung]

Might I suggest Cheomseongdae?

It is the oldest observatory in East Asia, built by the Silla dynasty of Korea. Though some scholars debate it was used more for astrological research than astronomy, both were indistinguishable from each other back then in Asian cultures, and is considered a cultural treasure.

I initially contemplated it as...

Requires: Calendar and Masonry

+2 +1 Great Scientist
Receive 1 Great Scientist

or maybe...

+1 for every 3 where built

or even...

+3 where built

Any opinions will be greatly appreciated.

 

[Moriboe]

In line of earlier talk: how about a free observatory? It would be a substantial boost to a non-mountain city, probably overpowered in combination with the free scientist.

 

[Pouakai]

Good idea! I won't give it a free Observatory (Game-breaking in it's age) - but I do like you're effect suggestion. Now, in the immortal words of Television,

"It's On the list!"​

 

[JaeChunDaeSung]

Thank you for taking my suggestion to consideration!

As old as it is, I admit it would make sense for it to be obsoleted at Astronomy, and since this was built where before the Renaissance, a free observatory would not be something I'd consider for it.

 

[killmeplease]

Pouakai,
could you please reveal how do you make icon graphics so they look like original content?
what is the technology of image processing?

 

[Pouakai]

Aah, that question should not be directed at me, but rather at sukritact - he does all the icons!

 

[killmeplease]

thanks, i'll ask him

 

[sukritact]

Pouakai, i noticed you added the giant Buddha to the list, I'm not sure if you're aware, but it should be leshan, not leishan

 

[Pouakai]

Thanks sukritact, typo fixed

 

[Pouakai]

I'm kind of at a loss for ideas for the effect of the Florence Cathedral, any ideas?

 

[shoi]

I would think to add a culture bonus, but how about a +1 happiness once a great person born in that city dies? (They did bury bishops there)

 

[Pouakai]

Might be a bit hard to impliment, but thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a temporary effect, then give it a new one post-patch
