Puukohola Heiau Wonder

In 1 collection by Pouakai

Description
One of the last surviving great Hawaiian Temples, Pu'ukohola Heiau (Temple on the Hill of the Whale) was constructed prior to the unification of Hawaii by future king Kamehameha, when his chiefdom was only in control of the Western side of the island of Hawai'i (The Big Island). The rocks used to construct it were moved by means of human chain around 25 kilometres (14 miles) from the quarry, and the temple was built in less than a year, and dedicated to the Hawaiian War God. Ingame, Pu'ukohola provides +20 XP for Land and Naval units trained in the city. In addition to this, it provides the Amphibious promotion to all newly trained land units, and provides +3 Faith for all Sea resources.

Requires the Gods & Kings expansion pack, and credit to co-author Sukritact for the icon. Pu'ukohola Heiau was designed for the Pasifika mod, Part of the Terra Novus project.

*Whistles* Martyr's Square, the Marine Academy, the National Naval Academy, and Itsukushima Shrine (wonders I use from several other mods, including a few of your own), all in one. Great concept but this is as OP as using a nuke for riot control.

maybe just sea units and no faith for sea resources? or faith for one specific resource? (crabs maybe since there's no faith for crabs int he game. or whales. or fish. not pearls.)

20 xp! 3 faith for sea resources! holy shit, this is incredibly OP. I thought the Shinto gate one was a little imbalanced, but this one is just incredible.

I went there. Very nice. Bay is full of sharks.

Though I usually scoff at the claims of 'overpowered' from many people with these mods, I will say that this one is a bit... well, you know. I think +20 XP and Amphibious is a great bonus, but I think adding that with the +3 Faith makes it overpowered. Taking away that Faith bonus would be a great compromise, since the fact it's a temple to a War God is pretty well exemplified through the XP and bonus promotion already.

Thank you for making and sharing this mod. I love adding new wonders to my game but I too feel your wonder is good but over powerd. +20Xp + a free amphibious promotion is already powerfull compared to other wonders. The +3 faith per see resources unbalances the game. Please let me know if you decide to make a less powerfull version of this mod.

oops, I wasn't clear in my original post. I mean land units I built there.

Maybe another mod I am using is messing it up.

You should only see it in units that are trained in the city after the wonder is built, like with the Heroic Epic

When I used this yesterday I didn't see the Amphibious Promotion added to my land units. Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks for the feedback, however this wonder has been made for a scenario with this specific effect requested. Once the scenario is developed and is independent of this wonder I'll be able to change it, but in the mean time it'll need to remain as-is, I'm afraid
