St. Basil's Cathedral wonder video

I really like the model of St. Basil's Cathedral. Nice.

Yes, I agree.

And the revealed stats are really strong in the right terrain.

 

[Ivan Hunger]

But no one ever builds St. Michel.

Can confirm. I get it every single game because everyone else always clears their marshes and has nowhere to build it.

Gilgamesh built it in a city far away from the core of his empire in one of my games.

Looks great and it’ll be fun chasing after Tundra Petra.

Russia will be loads of fun trying to build super tundra cities.

Plot twist: Russia becomes the most tried civ of the expansion.

 

[Zaarin]

Thank heavens it's finally called St. Basil's.

 

[kaspergm]

They got it wrong. Clearly, this wonder is the Kremlin.

 

[Arianrhod]

I'm not sure what it says when they make this beautiful wonder and give it super neat bonuses and I still think the most exciting thing about it is that they finally got the name right.

 

[Sagax]

Jokes aside, I hope they will consider making the Kremlin Russia’s unique building at some point. In a nutshell, Kremlin is just a name for the walls surrounding the town. And while Moscow’s Kremlin is the most famous one, there are other cities in Russia with their own Kremlins (so yeah, Civ 5 Krepost were reaaallly close to that)

"Kreml" is simply a Citadel/fort in a town, but The Kremlin of Moscow has been a major Administrative center for the Muscovite/Russian state for centuries (minus a few years when Great Pete moved the capital to Saint Swampy On The Neva) so, yes, either a separate 'National Wonder' (a mechanism that I would love to see return to the game) for Russia or even an Upgrade to the Russian Palace. Maybe giving Loyalty bonuses, although a Lyubyanka National Wonder would be even more effective for that...

Maybe even better, The Kremlin might make it easier to get and keep a preferred Governor or Gubernatorial Effects, while the Lyubyanka gives extra Spies, Spy Defense, and Loyalty at the expense of Amenities - Nobody ever described the Lyubyanka Prison as the 'Happiest Place on Earth', after all!

Hence why I propose “Kremlin”, not “THE Kremlin”. Limiting Kremlin to just the capital/palace is iffy in my book, when other UIs can be built in every city. Maybe just give it additional bonuses if built in the Capital. It will also be educational for players to learn that Russia doesn’t have just one kremlin.

But back to topic - anyone knows the placement requirements for this?

Kongo are probably the best relic civ if they can get Mont St. Michel (and they actually gain a lot and lose nothing by suiciding their Martyr Apostles). This would be a cool wonder for them, since relic slots are hard to come by if you cannot build Holy Sites.

Although it sounds ideal, I wonder if the actual requirement is tundra adjacent to city center. If that's the case, Jungle spawn Kongo won't be able to enjoy this.

The tooltip said adjacent to the CC on flat land. Don‘t know what if that changed.

So we have Desert Petra, Tundra Petra, and Jungle Petra, looking forward to Machu Picchu being Mountain Petra in the next expansion pack

And let's not forget about some Sea Petra, too.

By "few years" you mean 200+ years, more than Moscow actually led pre-communist Russia?

don't forget Lake Petra.

 

[Zaarin]

don't forget Lake Petra.

Many people seem to dislike Huey Teocalli, but if you have enough lake tiles in your empire it's an enormous boon.

 

[spfun]

Another terrible wonder to the collection. Let me guess it will take forever to build also...
