what's the deal with tourist attractions?

[saintly_saint]

Ok, I don't understand the point of including the tourist attraction feature. Wow, you get 10/turn gold for each wonder. well say you build 2 tops 3 wonders thats just 30 gpt not to mention the waste of time and shields to build each one of them, the only way this could possibly be good is if you got all the wonders. which you do only once you conquered every body, and by then you probably shouldn't have any problems with cash. any suggestions and/or corrections,

thx in advance

People don't build the wonders just for the tourist gold. They build them for the abilities that they have. The tourist deal is just icing on the cake.

lol, i know that, besides even on emperor, i hardly ever build wonders, i consider it cheap. I was wondering if there was just some concept about them i didn't catch

Some of the early wonders have limited uses. The tourist concept was added to make them a bit better. You might only get the bigger benefit for a short period, but you get the gold every round (after 100 years). It just makes early wonders a tad bit better.

it also comes into play w/ the science city (Newton, SETI, Copernicus, library, universtiy, research lab, all in one city) and when that city has touriost sttratctions, whenit's tops (i think 15 gold a wonder?) you can be getting 45 science a wonder

thats kool, oh , btw, do you know if there's a way to manipulate each city's treasury individually? Say for the science city, like, to invest all the income to science?

Is this a Conquest feature or is it part of plain vanilla/PTW?

 

[aeldrik]
