Wonders?

[Ilsamir Lord]

Are wonders a possibility in Medieval II? Alternatively, would it be possible to add a new resource (with the appropriate model) which would have "wonder-like" effects?

Thanks,
Ilsamir Lord

No. The wonders are still disabled in the M2TW game. But their effects are still workable in M2TW.

Statue of Zeus at Olympia
population_loyalty_bonus bonus 4

Colossus of Rhodes
trade_base_income_bonus bonus 4

Pyramid of Giza's effect:
population_loyalty_bonus bonus 3 requires factions { egypt, }

Temple of Artemis at Ephesus
construction_cost_bonus_other bonus 30

Mausoleum of Halicarnassus
construction_time_bonus_other bonus 20

Pharos of Alexandria (I am not sure for his effects on naval units)
Effect HitPoints 2
Effect MovementPoints 4

Hanging Gardens of Babylon
farming_level 2

Well, I'm not sure about them being "still" disabled, but I suppose then that the question remains - can you import a model (with the appropriate, and still unreleased program) which can be placed on the campaign map and then bestow the appropriate bonus specifically on a particular faction?

Sorry friend, the "still" disabled is orthographically incorrect, I mean, disabled.
If its possible to add the model, and copy the Landmark files from Rome: Total War (and add the landmark locations in descr_strat.txt), maybe is possible to enable the landmarks in M2TW.


Are there some good ideas for landmarks?
For example:

1) Colosseum, Rome
2) Acropolis, Athens
3) Sacred Mosque, Mecca
4) Pyramid of Giza, Egypt
5) Santa Sofia, Constantinople
6) For Jerusalem, I can't remember any for Medieval Ages, but there are some landmarks in this town.

For Jerusalem perhaps ... the Temple of Solomon? Though I'm fairly certain it doesn't qualify as a "wonder".

Jerusalem gives you a global 10% loyalty from "glory" if I remember correctly.

Yes, I believe Temple of Solomon is very good and famous landmark.

What will be the Seventh medieval Wonder?
There are the real historically corrected Medieval Wonders:

1) Colosseum, Rome (ITALY)
2) Acropolis, Athens (BYZANTIUM)
3) Stonehenge, Amesbury (ENGLAND)
4) Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa, Alexandria (EGYPT)
5) Santa Sofia, Constantinople (BYZANTIUM)
6) Great Wall of China, China (CHINA) (Replaced by Solomon's Temple, Jerusalem, as China is not in the game)
7) The Leaning Tower of Pisa, Florence (ITALY)

I think you can still add faction capabilities to buildings to simulate wonders (as indestructible unique buildings)

Yes! This is an good idea! To create new wonders-buildings, constructable, and available only in certain cities!!!


For example: Santa Sophia (Hagia Sofia) is a new building, with new picture and symbols, constructable only in city of Constantinople (this can be by using the hidden resources like: sparta rome italy)

(indestructible can be by adding the word "hinterland" in each wonder-building..
