Nice! Korea will want this.

Great stuff! No surprise though. Don't like the sounds used in the music though, hopefully not final.

Sounds pretty great, I'd definitely like this one if the computer doesn't beeline for it

I especially like the extra governor promotions but the extra production, gold and faith in cities with governors is super good too. Very strong wonder!

Does it say anywhere how big the bonuses are? A 5%, similar to Hwarang would be pretty underwhelming.

None of these tweets have had specific numbers, probably due to the potential that they could change in balancing.

Just in case, you need to correct it to Contratación in the thread title.

Yes! the wonder I was most curious about got a video!

 

[Metecury]

Must have for tall empires it seems.

So, another wonder from around the Renaissance? I think we're pretty well-served in this area.

The ancient and classical eras need more wonders, in particular wonders that don't require coastal or desert tiles. Or Qin's UA needs some buffing.

They need to fill out the original "Seven Wonders"

Why that name? The Casa de Contratación was a Spanish agency. The building is called Archivo General de Indias (General Archive of the Indies)

True.

Having reduced the great wall to a tile improvement (that serves as a poor defense), it's odd that Qin's ability revolves around wonders at all.

The agency was housed within the building that housed the archive before the archive was there.

The Temple of Artemis is also added in Rise & Fall, although we haven`t seen the video yet. After this expansion, only the Statue of Zeus will be missing.

 

[Kimiimaro]

Am I the only one here who likes this wonder music?

Yes! the wonder I was most curious about got a video!

Same

I'm happy to have learned about something I've never heard of before, but the bonuses don't seem to fit what the Casa did, if Wikipedia is accurate. According to Wikipedia the Casa was focused on trade and managing those pieces of it (Contratacion = trade) rather than government administration. Just seems like an odd fit. A more interesting bonus I think would be having it maybe give you X gold per turn based on the # of trade routes ACTIVE IN THE WORLD (to show some kind of spider like control over trade)

We are still missing the temple of Zeus, aren’t we ?

nobody noticed that fragment of music at the end of the construction? isn't it one theme for a civ? sounds very byzantine
