Wonders for Community Patch

[Brackenspore]

I reworked and adapted old Wonder-MODs for Community Patch. Thanks to old authors (Poukai, Regalman, Envoy, Sukifract and etc.)!
I will wait feedback about serviceability and balance of wonders. I hope that Gazebo will add my mods to core of Community Patch
IMPORTANT: You must have Community Patch!

I only look these on papers, but I'm quite sure that most of them are out of the line. It means that some are crazy OP and others are almost useless or inferior version of other wonders.

 

[Drakul]

Awesome idea! We realy need a wonder pack MOD for CBP. It would be a waste that all those amazing wonders made before the CBP are not included... But it should be more balanced. As Aldebaran1997 said,some are crazy OP.

Thx for feedback. Can you enumerate OP-wonder and suggest numerical amendments?

Seems fine.

Neet. I like this one.

Krak des Chevaliers (Chivalry)
Cost: 400

Faith: +1

Great Engineer Points: 1
Provides a free Castle in all cities. Must be on a hill.

Super duper insanely powerful. A 'free' Castle in all cities mean that you don't have to pay any maintenance for them and you can get cities (both founded and conquered) very stably esp on that era.

The Monte Carlo Casino (Industrialization)
Cost: 1250
Polices Required: 19
Culture: +1
Gold: +5
Great Merchant Points: 2
Merchant Slots: 2
+1 Culture from Merchants in every city.

Idk 'bout this. I don't like the WW with specialists. But it must be only me.

Royal Ontario Museum (Plastics)
Cost: 1700
Polices Required: 24
Culture: +4
Science: +4
Great Scientist Points: 2
Great Work of Art or Artifact slots: 3
Contains 3 slots for artifacts. +3 science from every Museum.

I won't judge this until I hear about its theme bonus.

Paro Taktsang (Theology)
Cost: 400
Polices Required: 7
Faith: +1
Great Engineer Points: 1
+1 Faith and +1 Culture from Mountain tiles. Provides a free Monastery in the city in which it is built. City must be have a Mountain nearby.

Inferior version of Machu Picchu. I mean, I don't like this not because it's weak, but there's no different role with Machu Picchu.

Three Gorges Dam (Ecology)
Cost: 2300
Polices Required: 28
Gold: +5
Production: +10
Great Engineer Points: 3
+8 Production from every Hydro Plant. Provides a free Hydro Plant in the city in which it is built. City must be built on a river.

I'm not sure about this. But seems imbalanced.

Temple of Heaven (Civil Service)
Cost: 500
Polices Required: 10
Faith: +3
Food: +4
+2 Food from every Temple.

Seems good.

Mount Rushmore (Electricity)
Cost: 1600
Polices Required: 22
Culture: +5
Great Engineer Points: 2
The empire enters a Golden Age. Length of Golden Ages increased by 30%. City must be built within 2 tiles of a Mountain that is inside your territory.

Superior of Chichen Itza. Same with Paro Taktsang.

I like these kinds of things. I'll keep monitoring this. Thank you for making this.

 

[Brackenspore]

Thx for your feedback
Krak des Chevaliers - ok, I will change it
Royal Ontario Museum - standard tourism bonus if themed
Paro Taktsang - yes, I will amplify it. Machu - http://civ-5-cbp.wikia.com/wiki/World_Wonders
+5 gold, +2 faith
+1 Great Merchant Points
+33% gold from city connections.
City gains +1 food, production, culture, and faith for every mountain within 3 tiles of the city
Yes, Machu is stronger (+4 yields from Mountains and bonus for connections)
Three Gorges Dam - I oriented on Great Firewall http://civ-5-cbp.wikia.com/wiki/World_Wonders:
99.9% reduction in effectiveness of enemy spies in the city in which it is built.
+10 science from Research Labs. 25% reduction in effectiveness of enemy spies in all cities
Negates the bonus from technologies of other players
It seems stronger than 3 Gorges Dam
Mount Rushmore here = weak (+30% not 50%) Chichen Itza + Taj Mahal. But Mount Rushmore is far away - Modern Era. I think it has not OP bonuses.

UPDATE
Paro Taktsang, Krak des Chevaliers

 

[Aldebaran1997]

Mount Rushmore here = weak (+30% not 50%) Chichen Itza + Taj Mahal. But Mount Rushmore is far away - Modern Era. I think it has not OP bonuses.

I didn't mean their values are worse or better compared with other WW, but pointed out their roles have no uniqueness.

Polices Required: 10
Faith: +1

Great Engineer Points: 1
Provides a free Castle in all cities. Requires completion of Authority. City must be on a hill and have an Order.

Now Authority is the best early policy tree. Balancewisely, it isn't changed nothing but worse.

 

[sdjhfasdgfh]

Great mod. Are you able to put them in one mod. Downloading all of them makes the mod list rather very long.

A "One WW mod pack" for sdjhfasdgfh and one mod per WW for me I prefer to pick only some of them.

- In my current game, i've been able to built the Krak des Chevaliers (v2) in the capital with an Order in it but without the completion of Authority. Only the branch opened.
- I find Arecibo Observatory and Mount Rushmore are overpowered.

I'd be delighted with a CPW version of :

Hi there guys. Anyone still interested in adding more Wonders to VP?
But not „simple” ones, that just give yields, are redundant to existing ones, etc. I would expand on core VP ideas and add more unique Wonders in terms of conditions to get them (so, they wont be achievable in every game) and also benefits.

I’d be interested. What do you have in mind?

 

[Asterix Rage]

An early Warmonger WWonder :
Keep a level 5 combat unit (recon exclude) in the city and being in war to build a great monument giving :
+2C
+x XP to any unit taking a city with a WW in it.
(Effect last for ever)
(No bonus if the WW gave the bonus before)

no model in mind
___
Edit
Easier : Cumulate x XP (nationnal wide) and being in war with major civ to open this bloody WWW

I made a personal More Wonder for VP pack, maybe it would be a helpful reference or base to build from?

I had a similar idea for the benefits, in that they are somewhat unique, so none of the wonders feel like just a variant of an existing one.

Sure, if you had some nice ideas, they might be worth sharing!

Wow, that's quite a lot of them! That will certainly be helpful once we get into details, but first I would like to discuss some general ideas, get a better understanding to what should be our goal, so once the real work start, it will not be in vain. I am going to start a fresh thread for that and post some initial proposals.

 

[Asterix Rage]

Close to your idea, I dream new rules making an End on the ability to build almost any WW
Rules telling things like I need to discover x% of the map to be able to build Great Ligth. or three cities built on sand to open the Caire Citadel
Maybe tricky to get AI on it ?

Hard to say, Probably only Gazebo would answer that.
But I dont think we need to overcomplicate things. As for now practically all wonders are general access. So not a surprise that AIs build them all.
I would first use tools at hand: add some conditions, ones that the game already supports, probably increase cost a bit like +20%. Also make all Woners obsolete little faster maybe. AI evaluates buildings to build regularly in each city, using Flavor and effective output per cost. Smaller cities wont build Wonders due to low productivity, bigger ones might not meet a condition. Coupled with shorter opportunity window, this could cause that some wonders would not be built.
