I sorta like the citystate bonus the Kremlin has. It works well in conjunction with the defense bonus since citystate-focused empires are typically small ones.
Thanks for the historical background! That's helpful.
Any of those ideas are technically feasible with the tools we have. I like the idea of an artist-specific bonus. The number of artist slots is very limited until later in the game, so how about...
- Angkor Wat: +50 with every citystate.
- Cristo Redentor: +2 of every yield for Artists
- Kremlin: Minimum 2-tile border radius for every city, plus -25% border expansion costs

Stonehenge and the Kremlin expand into unclaimed tiles, like normal or expansion (not like Culture Bombs).

When the wonder is conquered it gives the conqueror the bonus. I actually didn't think about that until now... could keep it or not depending on your opinion. It's not possible to add an influence degrade modifier.
The change to Angkor Wat is original, powerful and desirable... but to play devil's advocate, doesn't it do the same to an effort toward a Diplomatic Victory as Chichen Itza does to Persia?
I don't think so unless it can be leveraged by conquering the city with the wonder right before a UN vote takes place *and* having a large bankroll to bring everyone up to allied status - it comes too early to be OP imo.
Right... a 50%/0happy chichen isn't overpowered, just tends to result in wide swings of how successful a game might be. Some people do like these extremes in games, though... look at Spain for example. There's nothing wrong with having some of it based on luck.
