[R&F] Statue of Liberty

[choevi]

Long time reader, first time poster. Had a thought so brilliant, I just had to register to share:

I am aware that in GS, the Statue of Liberty has become more useful. As I prefer R&F, for me it is still a wonder that I never built (while the AI seems to love it, which I love).

As I was thinking how I never saw the completion video, it hit me: The real Statue of Liberty was not crafted in New York, but in France, then boxed and shipped. If I could do that it would be such an amazing wonder: Prebuild it in a strong city of my old continent, then ship it (as a great person or civilian unit similar to the space ship parts in Civ 5 perhaps?) to the new continent.

And what a perfect embodiment of frontier spirit, when an armada of settlers, military and the boxed up statue of liberty makes a landfall to express their belief in manifest destiny.

What do you think? Great idea? Horrible idea? Should be in the game? Could be a Mod?

Could be a Mod?

I don't see why you couldn't have the relevant tech/civic unlock the "Statue of Liberty" project which spawns a unique great person on completion, then that GP's ability has a modifier which allows the city to actually place the Statue Wonder (just make it cost 1 production in the destination.)
The only thing to watch for would be making sure the destination could actually build the thing, but I suppose the requirement to activate the GP could just be that you must be on a tile which satisfies the conditions in the first place (coast next to harbor.)

I'm just getting into civ6 modding as of 4? days ago but thinking through problems is always fun- the curse of the engineer.

Great idea - but how about you have to send it to any ally? You get the diplomatic points, they get the loyalty.
