New wonders in the XP

EIFFEL TOWER! I really miss it.

cheers

Isn't the Statue of Zeus sort of a pre-feudalism Sun Tzu's? That's what the PR made it sound like...

Thinking more about it, scrap the Panama Canal. I want more worker actions. We should have the workers able to build (at least) canals, underwater tunnels (like the Chunnel) and be able to dry out new land in limited circumstances (say, dry out a coastal sea tile which is surrounded by six land squares.) These would take a heap of time, of course, unless you use many many workers. My "North Sea Protection Works" wonders is related to this, as the North Sea Protection Works are what keeps a goodly portion of Netherlands from going under the sea - this wonder could shorten the time it takes to dig out new land.

Statue of Liberty needs to be in, though I'm not sure of the effect. Maybe it could increase population growth (symbolizes immigration)?
Also, I imagine Stonehenge working something like Weather Paradigm in SMAC - it makes workers work faster. (I'm not sure how much faster, though - it could be a killer with Industrial civ)

I love the idea of some sort of small wonder acadamies for naval and air force units. Building the Naval Acadamy allows you to create carrier battle groups, the air force academy is necessary for precision bombing.

I really like the idea of the "North Sea Protection Works" as a small wonder that allows you to terraform land, build canals, underwater tunnels, and bridges.

Statue of Liberty needs to be back in, I like the idea of giving it the effect of reducing the amount of anarchy during a revolution.

What about the Colisseum of Rome - Give a Colosseum in every city, although that might be a bit powerful on top of other happiness wonders.

You might want to bet on the new wonders: here.

I know he makes you have a stronger military, but how (We already have Sun Tzu and the Great Wall)

Hmm...maybe it reduces maintenance costs/increases # of free supported units?

[monkspider]

I assumed it gave your units +1 attack or something like that.

[Demerzel]

would be nice to have the rushed & sh*tty present UN removed and something worthwhile ( ala SMAC ) replacing it.

if they can actually make this XP have meaningful things in it that improve the game and not just cosmetic things ( like new Civs/units ) then I might actually buy it. might

[petermarkab]

I think the statue of Zeus will increase the number of hitpoints for that civ's units eg. super-elite with 6 hp

goody ...
Tobacco becomes a luxury good.
This would give the "cure for cancer" great wonder surely a reason for existance

+1 to attack might be a gamebreaker coming in the ancient age.

If the Khmers are in (which I sure hope), I'd suppose Angkor Wat will be in, and will have the same traits as the Khmers. I don't know what it'll be. Maybe some corruption-fighting facility, or something related to government (like easier government-switch)

[Alfonso]

New great wonder “El Consejo de Indias”: Reduces the corruption in the cities of your civilization in the continent that does not have the Palace.


Leader naval: They would have the same options that the terrestrial ones, that is to say, could finish a wonder or form a Navy. When discovering Navigation and having an active Navy would unblock the small wonder “Naval academy” that would serve to create Navies. The Navies serian in the sea the equivalent thing to the earth armies.

Someone said that the seven ancient wonders set will be complete with the new XP.

Call me a pedant, but weren't the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World

1) The Pyramids of Gizeh (in the game)
2) The Hanging Gardens of Babylon (in the game)
3) The Tomb of King Mausolus at Halicarnassus (not in the game)
4) The Colossus of Rhodes (in the game)
5) The Pharos of Alexandria (in the game)
6) The Statute of Zeus at Olympia (apparently going to be in the game)
7) The Temple of Diana at Ephesus

The Great Library was not one of the seven ancient wonders of the world.
