  • The Game needs a Cuisine Wonder

    Music, Movies, Theatre, Religion, and Art are all part of a countrie's culture. What about food?

    As I sit here and eat my Pork Fried Rice, I wonder about that.

    Namely- Polish Cuisine (well if each and every national War Academy can style itself West Point, so there is no harm in calling the National Cuisine Wonder "Polish Cuisine", after all it dominated Europe with "schabowy", "pierogi" and "ogóreczki kiszone"- LOL mode-off)

      Not to mention Hollywood and Broadway.

      I know the wonder name could be The Golden Arches

      +1 Culture and +2 food in all cities.

        You want a "cuisine" wonder and you pick McDonald's?

            Jeez haven't we got enough over-Americanised wonders without adding another?
            "You are one of the cheerleaders for this wasting of time and the wasting of lives. Do you feel any remorse for having contributed to this "culture of death?" Of course not. Hey, let's all play MORE games, and ignore all the really productive things to do with our lives.
            Let's pretend to be shocked that a gamer might descend into deeper depression, as his gamer "buds," knowing he was killing himself, couldn't figure out how to call 911 themselves for him. That would have involved leaving their computers I guess."

              -3 health (not negated by the Recycling Centre).

              I also don't know about the culture bit. Maybe a -1 here too.

                Haha, yeah, you just send a 'Franchiser' undercover into someone else's nation to establish McDonald's!

                  Hell, add a +1 or 2 commerce as well if it's McD's.

                  Maybe we need "chain restaurants" like we have religions now. You can found McD's, BK, Taco Bell, Wendy's, Subway, Pizza Hut, and Ogóreczki Kiszone-n-Go. Then franchise and watch the money roll in. Collective negative health, though: the more franchises in a civ, the greater the health hit. "-2: You fattened my people and drove up my CHF rate!"

                      But french cuisine is -1 food...

                      Not that it's bad, but there's just too little of it.
                      I've allways wanted to play "Russ Meyer's Civilization"

                        Too little of it?! I went to France a few months ago and everywhere we went we were having like 7-course dinners. It took us several hours just to eat one meal!

                          We'll call it "Kitchen Stadium".

                          Of course, you need iron to build it.

                              yeh a wonder to give you a health resource to trade aint a wholy bad idea. Although I do love Peirogi's I dont think they bring much joy to the rest of the world...


                              And in our world, it is most definatly a chinese owned wonder, as everyone has had chinese take-out, even in somalia!~
