Didn't the English chance the pacifist slogan "make love not war" to "make tea not love"?

 

[balthamael]

All english people drink tea and wear top hats. Well, maybe just in Manchester....

I hope the building are totally new, not just pimped-up version of existing ones.

 

[Elhoim]

The Agoge
Greek, replaces barracks, +4 experience per unit, military units hault population growth

And the benefit is...?

 

[PriestOfDiscord]

I don't mind the idea of Unique Buildings at all, I think they make as much sense as Unique Units do, but I just have a really hard time figuring out some of the UB's for civilizations in the modern era. The nations that make up modern "Western Civilization" aren't that different from each other.

I don't know yet how building modding goes in Civ4 but I hope there will be more possibilities to mod them at least.

US gets McDonalds and a Ronald McDonald unit, only 3 active at once, to spread to other civs....-3 health in each city.

Oh yeah...requires horses.....

You think I was talking about now? During the 19th century, tea was perhaps the most important product produced in the colonies. I'd recommend you give A History of the World in 6 Glasses a look to see what I mean when I mention Tea Houses and Coffee Houses in Britain and France. Britain as it is now may not have one on every block, but it cannot be denied that tea was tied heavily to the economic and social lives of all British people in some way or another during the 19th Century...

Some Ideas:

Mali - Caravan Station: +1 trade route, +1 culture

Persia - Carpet Maker: +1 gold if they have sheep

Mongols - Post House: +2 science

 

[Watiggi]

A Mongol Yurt. A fair bet, but I wonder if it will aid the armies in like, maybe a mobile barracks (build units on the move) or help them to heal quicker. Would they pack and unpack maybe? Interesting. Looking forward to it, that's for sure.

 

[Heero Blaze]

Here are some ideas.

Roman Forum +10% GGP
Greek Acadamy +15% Science
American Movie Theater +2 Happiness
Arabian Harem +2 Happiness
French Bakery +2 Health

 

[Guerra]

Germans get teh Beer Hall.
Americans get the Crack House (originally mentioned above )
Japan gets the Pachinco parlor
The Aztecs get the Chocolate Factory
The Incans get the Llama farm.
England gets Lloyds of London (an insurance firm which replaces lost units and buildings for a nominal fee)

Montezuma and the Chocolate Factory.

 

[DeltaV]

The Chinese get the Opium Den, but only after contact with the English...

 

[Sindhforces]

America : skyscrappers +25% commerce (but late building )
Arabia : trade posts +1 gold per city and +1/2/3/... science for 1/3/6/... trade posts already built (global)
Aztecs : chinampas +1 food in city and mais tiles
China :
Egyptia : mastabas -1 unhappiness in the city
Great-britain :
France : restaurants
Germany :
Greece : lycaion (lycee) +1 science per city
Incas :
Japan : dojos
Mali : warehouses
Mongolia : cattlefields
Persia :
Rome : colosseum current effect ( btw a new improvement should be available to affect all the civ inthat way )
Russia : conglomerate +25%/35% industry depending it's powered or not ( but late building and producing unheathiness )
Spain :

 

[Crighton]

Montezuma and the Chocolate Factory.

Thats exactly the thought which had sprung to mind.

 

[Chamaedrys]

Spain: Corrida arena, -10% WW if they have cattle

China: Silk Manufacture or Porcelaine Manufacture, +2 trade routes

Germany: Doener kebab , +1happines from cattle

Russia: banja (Russian bath), +2health

 

[KingCruz]

Mongolia : cattlefields

Didn't you check the artwork? It looks like Mongolians are ending up with yurts.
Ha it surprises me how much we stereotype other cultures

France : restaurants

I think every civilization will eventually have restaurants.
McDonalds & Walmart -5 health +3 Happiness +%25 commerce

 

[Columbkille]

US gets McDonalds and a Ronald McDonald unit, only 3 active at once, to spread to other civs....-3 health in each city.

Oh yeah...requires horses.....

HAHAHA

I would buy the game if that was an update

 

[GeorgeOP]

Will the USA get "crack houses?" Will they give us plus 1 smiley face and 1 green yucky face, or what? Or how about Starbucks to increase productivity? The union hall to give us - what?

That's great. The Union Hall should cause half production, double the upkeep cost of all buildings, and provide +3 happiness.

 

[Mewtarthio]

The American Unique Building will be the McDonald's. It will provide -3 health to all cities and spread like religion into enemy cities. The upside is that you get +5 gold for every McDonald's in the world. The building requires Refrigeration, Pigs, Cows, Uranium, Oil, Biology, a unit of Lvl. 5 or greater experience, at least 3 Jails--

Argh! I am sorry, Master Ronald, for revealing your secrets! You are my master!
