More Great Person Buildings

[johnmcd]

I love the Great People buildings and there should be more, you probably shouldn't be allowed to settle a great person in a city when there are still buildings to be built in it. Some GPs don't even get buildings, which is pretty woeful.

I wonder if some of the National Wonders should be turned into GP buildings, Wall Street for merchants and Hermitage for artists perhaps.

I don't see why successive great people shouldn't act to 'promote' the existing building and give it new or improved capabilities.

Interesting.

So your initial Great Artist builds a Museum .
The next one upgrades it to a National Museum .
The third could upgrade it to a World Museum like the Hermitage.

Yeah, and to make it more difficult, you could limit it to one promotion per age or something - if you want that Large Haldron Collider improvement, you'll need to have a dumped a scientist every epoch into your Academy sequence.

But won't that cause the world to be sucked into a black hole?

I like the concept.
Not the sucked into a black hole one.
The other one.

Having your alternate universe sucked into a black hole due to GP selections should be regarded as a form of victory -- the "proving that the earth sucks, no matter that you start over from 4,000 BC." This has a 5,000 point bonus, but only works if the acadamy has been upgraded once in each era.

The LHC should definitely be a wonder in the next expansion. Great idea.

As to sucking the earth into a black hole. While pretty cool, I feel it's too mundane for a victory condition. A civilization that can blow up just one planet doesn't really deserve any credit, imho

[Blaupanzer]

Well, consider that it is their only planet.
