  • Civ 4 suggestion: Natural Wonders

    What about natural wonders like Yellowstone or the Grand Canyon? I was thinking that they would add 1 happy face when in a city radius, and there could be a tech like Conservation which allows you to build the small wonder of National Park System which doubles the effect of these wonders. There could even be Minor Natural Wonders (like a picturesque waterfall) that only helps the city, and great NW's like Niagara Falls or the GC which would help an entire nation. Opinions?

    I liked the natural formations in SMAX and I would have liked to have seen them in Civ3 as well. Adds flavor to the game.

      There is an entire forum dedicated to suggestions for civ 4. Why would Firaxis bother checking the Civ 3 forum for suggestions?
      I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

          Natural Wonders would be nice. It would make the worlds more distinct and unique.

          Perhaps the Natural Wonders could provide one extra shield, trade, or food like in SMAC.

          Just a thought.

            I believe it's about 10th time I read about this idea... and I don't read those ideas often, so I probably missed a few hundred times getting this idea mentioned...



            ... but yes... I like the idea... adds a nice flavor to the game
            This space is empty... or is it?

              Just thought of something else: battlefield parks. Whenever a unit becomes elite and /or a MGL is generated, there is a chance that that square will become a BP. These squares will generate an extra trade from tourism.

                For natural wonders, why not just make them resources?

                There ought to be a time delay for a battlefield park. How many years after 1865 was the first Civil War reenactment?

                  I like that...I've missed the landmarks of SMAC. There was nothing I fought over more than the Manifold Nexus...that, and making sure that the Believers were completely anhilated

                    ...because you can't trade a waterfall or geyser to another nation?

                        What is SMAX? Sid Meier Alpha Xenophobia?

                        I played SMAC but I'm not sure what SMAX is.

                          SMAX = Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire, the expansion for SMAC. The X stands for either Crossfire (X-fire) or eXpansion. The quality of that expansion was, IMO, about the same caliber as Conquests in quality and content (I would consider the 7 highly detailed factions to be worth about as much as the 15 civs).

                            Thanks, I was thinking I missed a Sid game somewhere.

                            I guess you could have Natural Wonders that give +1 Happy face or generate Tourism income like the Alps or the Grand Canyon.

                            I'll see if I can get this moved to the Civ Future forum.
