Hello, I would like to make a request to Firaxis that Conquests should include options in the editor that would allow certain civ advances to improve existing city improvements and units. Improvements in communication should reduce corruption because they would allow the State to expand its influence over its empire. Advances such as rocketry should improve existing infantry as they would have access to more sophisticated weaponry and wargear. Advances in medicine and the arts should provide happiness bonuses to a civs citizens. With these ideas in mind i suggest the following:
Happiness bonuses:
1) When a civ discovers Free Artistry and/or Music Theory; they should make colliseums and cathedrals more effective by allowing them to provide one more content citizen (so if a civ knew both Free Artistry and Music Theory then Colliseums would make 4 citizens content and cathedrals would make 5 citizens content)
2) The discovery of Genetics should make hospitals more effective by allowing them to make two citizens content.
3) The discovery of Medicine should allow the construction of a new small wonder called 'Medical Breakthrough', which would cost 400 shields, provide 3 culture per turn, and would improve hospitals by allowing them to also provide the benefits of granaries and make one citizen content.
Anti Corruption Bonuses:
1) Each time a civ discovers either Printing Press, Radio, or computers; the Palace should become 25% more effective at reducing corruption (If a civ has all 3, then the Palace becomes 75% more effective)
2) When a civ constructs the Intelligence Agency small wonder; Police Stations should become 50% more effective at reducing corruption.
Military Bonuses:
1) Infantry, Guerillas, Marines, and Paratroopers should get +2 Attack and +2 Defence each time a civ discovers either Rocketry or Synthetic Fibres (therefore Infantry would become 10 Attack 14 Defence if a civ knew both techs).
Suggestions for Industrial Great Wonders:
At the moment, civ 3 only has 4 Great Wonders for the Industrial Era. I think Firaxis should increase this number by either bringing back the Eiffel Tower and the Statue of Liberty or by creating new ones. I would like to suggest:
Edison's Lab (Scientific wonder available with Electricity) that would cost 560 shields and would function like Copernicus' Observatory
Lunar Society (Scientific, Industrial, Commercial wonder available with Steam Engine) that would cost 560 shields and would function like the Iron Works (increases production in the city where it is built by 100%)
If anyone thinks these are good ideas or bad ideas then please post comments to let me know. If anyone knows how to manipulate the existing editor to achieve these effects I would appreciate the info
