The Philosopher's Stone

[Grandraem]

I made this wonder for a mod. It kind of does what Adam Smith's Trading Company does. Of course, you could make it do what you want, but I suppose it should make you richer because the Philosopher's Stone was the formula for turning base metals into gold.

Here are the files:

It contains the two civpedia pics, large and small building pics, and the wonder splash.

Here's the preview:

and the Wonder Splash:

Hope you like them.

Is it a hand holding a stone up there on the pedestal, or what is it? It's kinda hard to see. Good choice of for a splash.

Aww . . . I was hoping for a Harry Potter scenerio . . . I love Harry Potter. The first book was called "The Philosopher's Stone" in England, right? I know it was "The Sorcerer's Stone" in America.

Anyway, I do like the graphic--even if it's not for a Harry Potter scenerio. Good job.

Well, you can call it "the touch of Midas" if you don't want to mix it with Harry Potter

Nice statue!

mrtn,

it's just the end of a scepter with a shiny rock that I put on a pedestal. The only other thing I thought of was an alchemist's lab, but I thought that would be too hard (too time consuming).
The rock represents gold, or whatever ? Maybe an actual philosopher's stone, though as far as I know, that was just the formula, as I said, for transmuting base metals into gold.

As for Harry Potter, I like the movie. But this came from an interest in alchemy and alchemist art long before Harry Potter existed.

It's an asparagus! Did I get it right?

I kind of thought that when I made it, too.
