Natural Wonder

[michaelbeattie]

Please tell me if I'm wrong, but it seems like every natural wonder has the exact same yield of about 10 money and 10 stability. Natural wonders should be unique and the opposite of generic. Does it make sense that the Blue Hole, Mount Vocuvious, and Gobi Desert all have the same stats? Some who designed this aspect of the game must have a dearth of creativity and/or lack of knowledge about the environment. Generic wonders = boring/snooze

they do have the same bonuses but have different exploitation which isnt huge bonus at all

they are very strong to have early on though, if you see one in neolithic settle it fast. i sometimes even drop and outpost at the border and relocate later

there are many issues bothering me, this isnt one :P

I agree. Beyond looking really nice, they're pretty unexciting. I don't think they should be super overpowered, but they should at least not be non-entities.

They could at least have given them a different mix of bonuses to FIMS, faith and stability.

Another way to increase diversity could be to add some interaction effects with different districts as well. For example, each wonder could interact with a combination of 2 district types, e.g. science and makers for one, farmers and fortress for another. And then maybe let some only interact with one kind of district, but more strongly.

The kind of interaction could also vary, it doesn't have to match the district type like food for farmers quarters etc. Maybe Vesuvius adds industry output to farmers quarters, and the pink lake one adds influence to market quarters or money to commons quarters.

Could be small bonuses that don't impact gameplay much, yet still add so much more flavour.
