Why would they bother checking that forum for suggestions?

Maybe because it's the forum dedicated to the suggestions?

Does Firaxis actually check Apolyton's forums for suggestions to Civ4? Or do they even check the forums for bugs to fix?

Just wondering, since RoN and GalCiv seem to prosper beause their designers check the fansites and forums for bugs and suggestions for improvement.

Does that mean that they will read it? Maybe maybe not. I haven't honestly been paying much attention here, has Jesse or anyone else posted here?

Actually I was being sarcastic when I said what you quoted, but I guess that was lost on you.

Yup.

Natural wonders would be fine to me as long as they are not Americanized.

I think that would be a given, but important to be stated, because Firaxis has gone to great efforts to avoid "americanization"

Being an american, I'm not sure what natural features would be included?

Grand Canyon?
Niagra Falls?
Sahara Desert?
Alps?
Steppes


Those aren't really wonders in some cases, just geographical terms....

Mount Fuji and whats the name of the huge waterfall in Africa?

Victoria Falls?? although it may now have a non-colonial name

some other possibilities:
Ayers Rock
Great Barrier Reef
(no, I'm not an Aussie )
Mount Everest (but it would have to be in a big mountain chain and therefore of limited value?)
Serengeti Plains
Tropical Island Paradise (Tahiti, Hawaii, etc.)

I'm not sure how they would represent it, but I've always thought it would be cool for patches of undeveloped land to become "Natural Wonders".

If you leave a forest/jungle/desert undeveloped, for example, for several thousand years, it could generate income, culture, happiness.... Heck, it could even generate science after, say, "Scientific Method".

It could also generate annoying PBS shows about how those areas are vanishing. There could be a pop-up every turn asking for pledge money.

Seriously, though, naming geographical areas and having undeveloped areas give some value would be a Good Thing.

For some reason I just thought up A crazy idea about some Civlization invading NZ for the view Oh .. wait! that already happened didn't it....
