Tsentom1 Python Wonders

[Arian]

Here's the movie I promised.

The tower I found differs from your model. I hope that isn't a problem.
Anyway I hope you like it

Wardenclyffe Tower

More info on the subject for those who are interested: Tesla

 

[tsentom1]

Added The Great Mosque of Djenné

Does anyone know who made the model? It's the African Palace model from GeoModder's ethnic citystyles, which actually I think was originally made as a model for the Mosque. I can never find authors now that most of the older pictures of downloads are missing since the hack.

It has a static image for a movie at the moment. Arian, if you have free time and feel like making another movie we'd all be in your debt

Information/pictures on the mosque:

Arian, the tesla movie is great. I only named/made the wodner Tesla's Peace Ray as that's the name of the wonder in Civilization Revolutions. Tesla Tower is actually more appropiate.

 

[turingmachine]

cool. we needed more african wonders

 

[Arian]

I like this one.

@tsentom: it does only add the extra commerce to desert-tiles which are within your cultural boundaries at the moment when you construct the mosque, isn't it?

It reminds me a bit of GIR's Macchu Picchu in which you get a extra yield bonuses on peaks.

 

[tsentom1]

It only adds to desert tiles in your own cultural borders.

I was debating how to set this to be balanced.

I can change it to add commerce to only the owner's city desert tiles or all your cities desert tiles. +2 Commerce on desert might not seem much but if you consider flood plain and oasis are desert tiles, it can add up. Plus, 2 Commerce is the threshold so Fin leaders actually get 3. Also I can change it from all religious buildings to say -50% on cathedrals, or any other combo. If people feel its too strong at the moment.

I think it's okay at the moment. I need to play a few games with it to be sure.

BTW

To the 3 or so that downloaded before this post, re-download. I left out a file :/ which I just noticed and fixed.

 

[tsentom1]

I like Gir's Machu Pichu mod.

I might do one to help ice/tundra tiles.

What I meant is that new cities which are founded after building Djenne won't get the bonus on their desert-tiles. Am I right?

 

[tsentom1]

currently no, but i am working on a bit of code to fix that. i might be able to get it to re-check every 10 turns or so for new desert tiles. i just couldn't get the code right... yet!

Chamaedrys created it on my request.

 

[tsentom1]

Thanks for the model info, I'll update and credit him properly

 

[tsentom1]

Eden Project added

[hrochland]

Awesome work, tsentom1. Please, more python wonders. Thanks for these

EDIT: BRW, take you a little requests, please?

 

[tsentom1]

So I have the python done for a National Wonder to improve arctic tiles which would probably work well for the Jukkasjärvi Ice Hotel. Does anyone know if there's a model that would work well for this? Or any other wonder I could use?

Maybe I'll just use that Igloo model that's lying around and make it big?

 

[Arian]

You could ask HROCHLAND

 

[tsentom1]

Added the great wonder movie made by Arian to the Djenne Mod

I also changed it's bonus, from all religious buildings to a bigger discount to cathedrals alone so it won't step on spi leaders' toes. (as that is already a weak trait).

 

[tsentom1]

Added the Eden Project movie to the modcomp.

I improved the code so it should trigger faster now. Also the Eden Project now plants a forest on unimproved grassland plots.

I like the idea. However I think as a national wonder it should only improve the tiles of the city where it's been built.
Suggestion:
+1 trade on ice/tundra tiles
+10% commerce in city

What do you think?

 

[tsentom1]

Yeah, as a national wonder I'm going to make it help snow/tundra tiles in the city radius.

I might actually make it do a lot, since national wonders are usually strong (+100% GP rate, +100% military production, etc) and it's limited to only being built in arctic city's which are usually hard to work tiles to begin with due to the lack of food. The commerce is a good idea and appropriate. I might also add some sort of food bonus to help you be able to work those tiles. Haha, they must import extra food for all the guests if you want to logic it.

I hope you plan to put this in your Thomas war mod it would be awsome
