Found : World Wonders detailed effects

I asked this before in a post and no one answered, found now, sorry if this is common knowledge :

Hanging Gardens : +20% on farming income in all settlements.

Statue of Zeus : +4 loyalty in all settlements.

Colossos of Rhodes : +40% naval trade.

Pharos at Alexandria : halves the chance of nearby ships at sea sinking and increases naval movement allowances.

The Great Pyramid at Giza : increases the loyalty of Egyptians to the owning faction, regardless of culture.

Mausoleum at Halicarnassus : reduces building construction times by 20%. This has no effect on buildings that take less than 5 turns to complete.

Temple of Artemis at Ephesus : reduces the cost of new religious buildings by 30% in all settlements.

Thx for the information (I didn't know exactly the effects of wonders).

Now, I am thinking in the possibility of placing them in a provincial campaign, with different names and textures. I suppose those effects are hardcoded, but all of them (except that of the piramids) are applicable to any campaign.
Did anybody tested this point?

Cheers.

The Statue of Zeus bonus was reduced to +2 for balancing reasons, although I'm not sure if the text was changed to match.

Also, what the Pyramids do is *cancel* out any culture penalties you get when taking over Egyptian cities - very worthwhile indeed.

Is it just me, or do the World Wonder's effects deteriate over time? My Temple of Zeus's bonus was first about +80%, but a few turns later, it is +20%ish. Nice to know though.

The Statue of Zeus' effects used to disappear over time in 1.1. I don't know if they fixed that in 1.2.

-Simetrical

OTOH, there is a bonus for capturing any wonder that is intended to diminish over time. If you capture the Zeus wonder, the two effects display the same way, so it may be WAD after all.

All Wonders also have a short-lived 'happiness' effect on the rest of your Empire, which starts at +20 order and decays by 4 order per turn. The Statue of Zeus bonus is on top of this, and does not decay (it was accidentally left unimplemented before the 1.2 patch, which is the source of the confusion).

Yes, very worthwhile, for everyone _but_ the Egyptians who had to build the things in the first place! ~D
