Wonder Possibilities

All the pics posted by various people are useful as well but we could still use a few more pics: Angkor Wat, Taj Mahal, Kremlin, Versailles, Petronas, Sagrada Familia, Torii, Hindu temples of Madurai; those are all pretty important wonders which are large and impressive enough to deserve their own tile imp...

I'd just like to re-iterate this... I'm having a hard time with the last three, Ankor Wat, and the Sagrada Familia. I have pictures for the the Taj Mahal and a mediocre Ankor Wat, but they are direct-ahead views, rather than aerial views, so not ideal.

All the SimCity pics I found btw need a product registration login. No game, no download. Anyone got SimCity 3000?
edit: all but one Got an empire state (SC3000) and a better Eiffel Tower now too (Red Alert)

Next four: Aya Sofia, Petronas, Forbidden City, Eiffel Tower.
I'm not as happy with these, but resources are running out.

Nice links IW - how can they say stonehenge is forgotten? Druids(tree-huggers whatever) visit it every year!
(NOTE: IMHO hugging trees isn't the worst thing to do in the world.)

I've got 20 into a tile file now, and they all work on the map. It seems the tilest IDs only work every other 8s or something, but its all sorted. I still need a graphic for Angkor Wat, but thats not a big deal. Some of the pictures need adjusting for CtP2 terrain, they don't look quite as good without the mat black backing.
I have uploaded the beta graphic tiles, and the text files as a mod (based on cradle 1.2, but there's no overwrites) up onto the ctpmodmakers 250-4-free site.
You can download it from there (Just dont ask me for the URL...)

(tree hugging is great )

The mod can be downloaded and a cool screenshot can be seen from here.


Ignore this, I need it for the news:

This is what I hate about Modding...

I get a good single player game going, and then something like this gets created - then I have to either wait or start another game.

Looks great!!!!

Outstanding work. Now I, too, have to start a new game to try this out.


BTW, Leonidas, love the quote from Simonides about the fallen Spartan warriors from the battle of Thermopyle. Nicely done!

[Leonidas]

Terrific work! Everything is coming along nicely. It's amazing how much can be done in so short a time period.

Aias: Thanks for noticing

Some pics of the Taj Mahal:








And here's a link. The first picture at the bottom of the page is a nice black and white aerial view of the Taj Mahal. Could it be coloured white?

Thanks for churning out these photos Leonidas The top Angkor Wat one looks the most likely so far. The lower Taj Mahal picture looks very similar to the one I actually used, but as Locutus has pointed out, the 2D shots look awful on the map.
This one looks promising, but its not the usual angle, and it needs some colour. I might have to ask Dave for some graphics help on this.
