'Dud' Wonders

[Nick-oh]

Many's the grand scheme of history which has failed miserably. The Legue of Nations, for all it's great intentions, failed to avoid two world wars.

There should be some small chance (remote but there none the less) that your marvellous wonder turns out to be useless. After spending all those resources, you get zip for it; neither does anyone else. Adds a nice touch of natsiness.

Just as well there's the save/load feature...

You mean you really use that.....

Hmm... that reminds me, the League of Nations should be a wonder too. How about this: All wonders have an effect, but there is a random percent chance that it may not work. Simple and concise.

Good idea?

The wonder may not work, or parts of it may not work?

I'd be more inclined to allow a Mike's Pigeon Hut to have a random chance to not affect random cities, as opposed to being a total dud.

BTW, I too find Sun Tzu's & Marco Polo's to be immensely useful. MP espec. if the Great Lib not built yet. But that's for another forum.

I also vote for reducing the number of wonders....
