Better Unique Units & Buildings for XP2

[Lord Avalon]

Israelites - the first settler to enter a desert must spend 40 yrs wandering there before continuing on.

[Jaybe]

That American space program one is a good concept, Lord Avalon! It should be for ANY civ and ANY project or wonder.

"Technical Difficulties" arise with the project/wonder the city is working on. Suffer 1/3 reduction in hammers for 5 turns. You may give up and change production (before the 5 turns are up) if you want, but the penalty will be maintained if you return to it.

The Dutch will be the only civ in the game allowed to build cities underwater.

[Virdrago]

Russian Winter - Russian military units abandon cities to foreign military until winter sets in - then claim victory after the cold kills most of their enemies' units.

[Roman]

I don't want to derail the thread, but... Virdrago... are you really from Slovakia? Is there truly more than one Civilization player in our country?

Special building for America

Border Patrol - Causes your nearest nieghbor to lose %20 of its population to your empire. Results in busted happiness and health caps in every major city and drains your treasury.

Special effect for Germany - Every 20 turns automatically declares war on France.

Special ability for Israel. When the Israeli empire is destroyed the player remains in the game. When the United Nations wonder is built by any other empire, the Israeli player recieves a city from their old territory and stack of modern military units.

[Lord Avalon]

Great Wonder - Tower of Babel

At some point near the Tower's completion, God becomes wroth and destroys it (no gold for treasury), and you only have control over one city, as all your other cities become new civs due to having different languages.

American Great Wonder: Star Wars Project

Sucks lots of money from it's treasury with no tangible results and allows other civs to create a suitcase bomb.

[Kuciwalker]

We already have Star Wars in the game.

And Star Wars accomplished its goal. It made the Russians spend themselves into bankruptcy

Ouch. I'm a bit uncomfortable about a Random Event that has repercussions outside the game

The Apolyton Civ4 Forums!
Effects
- No unhappiness in all cities
- No production in all cities, cos everyone is reading the forums
- Research is unchanged, but changes from tech research to strategy research

This wonder also allows a new victory, the Argument victory.
Every 5 turns a new (actually old) topic comes up for discussion, such as
The AI sucks/is ok?
Should USA be inthe game?
Should siege units be in the game?
Is Civ4 exciting or does it all end up the same?
Have they solved the endgame issues?
Is diplomacy fine/need work?

Other more than regular topics

If you can win all arguments for whatever side you take, you win the game.

Don't forget

"The AI cheats!"

American Wonder - The Monroe Doctrine

Any civ founding or capturing a city on the same landmass receives an immediate declaration of war with happiness bonus added to diplo screen

"+3 we admire your principles"

Actually, every time you declare war from this point on gives you no diplo penalties.

However, all US units fighting above the 54th parallel suffer -25% attack strength.

England : Whenever you build a colony, it will try and split up from the home nation. That is, anywhere out of 5 square of your capital. Actually, make that everywhere BUT your capital.

For this point on, the city will never generate any more culture

It can't have accomplished it's goals if they're still working on it. Millions of dollars are still being spent on the program, even with no tangible threat. Who knows maybe the US will spend themselves into bankruptcy as well before it's completed. They're off to a pretty good start already.

But this is getting way too serious for this thread.

[allybhoy]

US automatically attacks any Civ that adopts communism or Islam.

US has to donate one tenth of all new weapons produced to any state with the Jewish religion

China discovers every tech until rocketry and discards them all in midgame

Germany has to burn its own palace in order to declare war

All England's spies periodically disappear and turn up in Russia
