New Natural Wonders?

[Pouakai]

Yeah, it is. I don't think they got around to making an icon

 

[Kimuyama]

Yes it is.

Im noticing a lack of natural wonders fitted for the Maya and Aztec... or in other words Mexican ones so here's my suggestions...

Copper Canyon- Located in Chihuahua, Mexico, its formed by six rivers and its larger and in some parts deeper than the Grand Canyon. The Rarámuri actually managed to resist the Spaniards for centuries by inhabiting the canyon, making any attempt of subjugation incredibly dificult.

It would be interesting if it could ocupy multiple tiles, like the great reef barrier does.

Spoiler :

Cave of Swallows- Located in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, Its the largest cave shaft in the world, you could easily fit the Chrysler building inside it.

Spoiler :

Ox Bel Ha Quintana Roo, Mexico, Ox Bel Ha is a system of caves and cenotes that contains the largest underwater cave in the world (233.43 kilometers)

Spoiler :

If we're going to go there... Ogallala Aquifer... under Nebraska. Largest reservoir of fresh water in the known universe. Farms +1.

 

[Gucumatz]

Except the Caves and Cenotes have been used for millenia. Unlike the Ogalla Aquifer. Home of plenty of ceremonies and traditions.

Underground features like aquifers would be a bit tricky to communicate visually as a map tile, though.

Yeah you're probably right, I guess I just want to see cenotes in the game.

there should be more "legendary" wonders like Mount Olympus

That's a real place.

I'm opposed to ones that aren't real; I'd like the Fountain of Youth removed, as well as El Dorado.

Mount Olympus would be fine.

Everest would also be nice too, if the graphic could show it as suitably high.

There's lots natural landmarks that could be used that have a lot of history behind them. Besides we already have El dorado and fountain of youth (sadly), if they keep adding fantasy stuff, how long before they add Camelot and Atlantis?


*EDIT* after googling Mount Olympus...as long as they dont mess it with fantasy like, agh El dorado, should be fine.

 

[GenjiKhan]

I don't see any problem with Atlantis,as long as their bonus would be only avaliable after researching Biology or some technology related to Underwater research .

 

[Pouakai]

We've already got three from America, let others have a chance!

Ngorongoro Crater would be a great one, science and food boost

 

[DonStamos]

Instead of Atlantis, should be Bimini Road.

 

[SammyKhalifa]

i also wouldn't mind an espionage natural wonder, but i'm not getting my hopes up.

Hollowed-out Volcano Lair?

 

[DonStamos]

+1 for the Hollowed-Out Volcano Lair.

 

[Camikaze]

National Wonders are not placed near starting locations, both NW's and CS's are scripted to appear away from real civ's starting positions. I think it's because of this shared criterium that they can easily appear together.

Huh. I (evidently) did not know that. Is there any other criteria beyond appearing away from major civ starting positions?

 

[Germnoble]

The Sleeping Giant in Canada would be cool, or the Icefields, something to boost arctic areas would be nice.

 

[shaglio]

I wouldn't mind seeing the Giant's Causway in Northern Ireland as a Natty Wonder.

I would like to see Atlantis as a Civilization, not as a landmark.
Also its silly how many people still think Atlantis is fantasy stuff.
You should remember Troja until Schliemann has found it.
BTW a lot of historian researches believe in Camelot, not as the Stone City, more like a wood camp.

Prester John also would like a word with you. Legendary is all it will remain. Why would anyone take it as real without proper evidence... Camelot to a degree as an actual location is much more reasonable. I just don't want fantasy-ists to continue to spin history for their benefits of "ancient aliens" etc. (Personally annoys me a lot because it ends up a degradation of the accomplishments of man and particular places "considered primative" to the west)

A legendary landmark at most. As a civ? No way, please no...
