Statue of Zeus need GP point

[Glassmage]

It is the only wonder without a GP point. FIX PLEASE!!!! All the other wonders from Ancient and Classical Eras have +1 of these Great People. What do you think Statue of Zeus should get? I personally think another GA is useful.

Stonehenge: GE
Pyramid: GE
Temple of Artemis: GE
Great Lighthouse: GM
Colossus: GM
Mausoleum of Halicarnassus: GM
Great Library: GS
Oracle: GS
Hanging Garden: GA

I'd say GA, I'd also make Temple of Artemis GA and Hanging Gardens GE, just my opinion.

Not a bad idea.

Not a bad idea to give it a GA point. I wonder what the reason is not to give it great people points?

I'd say GA, I'd also make Temple of Artemis GA and Hanging Gardens GE, just my opinion.

Wouldn't that make the HG overpowered?

 

[Montov]

Or give it a boost to the Great General progress.

 

[Louis XXIV]

It's quite a good wonder as is. However, GA might make some sense.

 

[Dreadnought]

I'd say GA makes the most sense. Maybe a GE if you stretch it enough.

Getting a GP point increases a wonders power. So it's not just an 'everyone else has it' situation.

The boost to city attack makes rolling cities a breeze for a while. It doesn't need one. This is also why some wonders have 'weird' GP point assignments. (it also messes with the AIs wonder spam/GP gains since they get more of them on higher diff levels)

Sure, it'd be awesome to have a GE point on the Hanging Gardens, but that's the most useful GP point early, hence why it's the more useless Great Artist. (unless you're going Cultural, at which point it's 'fine')

Great artist is a great idea for SoZ

GE would make the wonder op, which is why I didn't suggest it.

Agree. Temple of Artemis was a great cultural and religious landmark of the ancient Greece, whereas building green gardens in Mesopotamia surely required great engineers.

Great Generals points!

SOZ with Great General points sounds good or even GA points; GE point would seem to be too much - a warmonger already gets a huge boost from this wonder and a GE point would just add to that.

HG with a GE points sounds much too over powering as it already an extremely strong early wonder. This gives a big early boost to a single city but the impact decreases as the game goes on and the city population goes (harder to increase the population). I would leave it alone.

The TOA is an interesting wonder in that its a trade off - limited short term impact and maximum long term impact. Usually, its not going to add more than 1 or 2 food to a few cities in the first tens of turns its built. Over time, as you add more cities and the size grows, it adds more food per city. The GE point actually plays to this strength. Changing it would weaken this wonder's impact quit a bit.

I vote for 'it does not need any'

why? o.O Everyone else has one....

Yes, but unlike, say, in Civ IV, not every wonder has the same amount of GP points. If every wonder gave a standard 2 points, that would be different, but in Civ V some give 1 point, some give 2 points, and now some give 0 points. The GP point(s) is theoretically balanced with the wonder ability and the Statue has a very good ability that doesn't obsolete.

I agree. I love the Statue of Zeus, it grants a VERY nice universal ability, but it could easily be overpowered with the right GP points.

If it had to grant one type of GP point, though, I'd say Great Artist. I mean, they're kinda useless compared to the other GPs.

 

[That nerdy kid]

great general cost decrease (only a little) would fit best (same for Brandenburg gate). but i honestly think it is amazing as it is. (great for korea with H'wachas, they have one less strength than cannons, and you get them a whole era earlier.)

 

[Camikaze]

I gotta agree with Glassmage here. Even if there is differentiation in the number of GP points given for different wonders, as turingmachine notes, they all still have something. If you have 1 GP point, you will still eventually get a GP. If you have 0 GP points, you won't.

I think it would make the most sense for it to be a GA.
