#DESC_BLDG_Double_Harbor
^
^
^ The double harbor of CARTHAGE. Founded in 814 BC by Phoenician princes, Carthage emerged as the leading maritime
power of the western Mediterranean, ultimately coming into conflict with the Roman Republic during three Punic Wars,
264-241 and 218-201, and its ultimate destruction by Rome in 146 BC. Carthage's wealth depended not only on its
mercantile activities but also on its rich agricultural hinterland, from which food supplies were exported to the
urbanized Greek East. The outer harbor (below) was the commercial harbor; the inner harbor, heavily defended, was the
naval harbor complete with shipsheds and a central "island" with coning tower where the generals could direct naval
preparations.

Blessed be

 

[QuoVadisNation]

This is one of the reasons I love history.

It's very nice, good job on making it.

THATS IT! I'm playing your mod LBPB..even though my main hardrive is almost completely Civ-related, one more big mod won't hurt right?

Your talking about my tiny 130MB mod ?
It's really small compared to the current harddrive who are in the shops now (160-200GB)

BTW, feel free to send feedback in the Mod thread as I'm alway trying to improve it

LBPB,

I have played your mod a number of times. Having no goody huts adds an interesting twist to the game play. Thanks for the double harbor. With the two civilopedia icons and buildings graphics, I made two separate wonders instead of one. BTW, your coastal fortress and harbor buildings are superb as well. Do you mind if I "borrow" them for my own use in my game? I have no appreciable graphics skills and have to "rely on the kindness of strangers" for my graphics.

 

[Lusikka755]

I think you should post all your graphics separately so people who don't have your mod could use them also. They do look as nice as this one!

 

[tjedge1]

Very nice work LBPB. I'm going to have to make time for your mod as well sooner or later.

@HooDoo: I too have to rely on kind strangers for graphix. Maybe it's an Austin thing as that is where I live too.

 

[Goldflash]

People post things here so you can use them.. so you needn't ask for permission!

 

[HooDoo]

Psst, Goldflash ... can you keep a secret? I already put the buildings in my game before I asked ...

 

[Dom Pedro II]

He can. Unfortunately... I can't.


I had this Wonder planned for my game as a unique wonder for Carthage, but then I started thinking that Hanno's Voyage would be a better wonder... hmm... what to do! Include one or the other... or both?

 

[HooDoo]

DP II,

Put in both ... more is usually better. The Double Harbor is perfect for a military or merchant (or both) Wonder. Hanno's Voyage looks to be more of a colony Wonder. Purportedly, Hanno sailed with 60 ships and 30,000 colonists. He founded a number of colonies, but only one trading post. Why not make Hanno's Voyage a colony Wonder that creates a colony ship every x turns?

Heck, while you're at it, why don't you make THREE Carthaginian Wonders, military, merchant, and colonist. The Carthaginians were that dominant on the seas during their time.

@HooDoo
As long as you give credits you can use whatever you want

@Lusikka755
Sorry but I can't afford that, I'm not sure but I make at least 30 or 40 news Wonders & Improvements GFX, I will not have the time to post them all separetely.
But if you've downloaded the whole Mod, feel free to take what you need from it.

@Dom Pedro II
I've already make an Hanno's Voyage wonder for my mod you can use this one if you want

 

[Lusikka755]

EDIT: Never mind...

 

[Ukas]

Good stuff LBPB, Adding some shadows would make it look more real though.

You're right Ukas. Only the left buildind had shadow, I forgot them in the right one.

 

[Bungus]

Very nice. Is there a more formal name for this wonder though? Double harbor and War Harbor sound a little too generic and not wonderful enough for such.. a.. wonder.
Btw, Does this wonder appear on the city veiw screen? I've given up on making a mod with a viewable city, but I'm just corious if its possible.

Of course, but you have to replace an existing one. If I remind correctly, it's the Hydroplant
BTW it work only in PTW or Vanilla not Conquest.

"Cothon"

"The ancient artificial harbour--the Cothon--is represented today by two lagoons north of the bay of al-Karm (el-Kram). In the 3rd century BC it had two parts, the outer rectangular part being for merchant shipping, the interior, circular division being reserved for warships; sheds and quays were available for 220 warships. The harbour's small size probably means that it was used chiefly in winter when navigation almost ceased."

Thanks, Invierno. That'll do, season, that'll do.

BTW it work only in PTW or Vanilla not Conquest.

@LBPB - Damn, figured it was a long shot. I haven't seen the city view since the first day I played civ3c.
