this is a cool mod but I think you've got Gardens attached to the wrong technology. You need a Calendar to plan agriculture, but gardens are the overcoming of that typical requirement. You instead engineer a system of extensive extra water supply, allowing you to build gardens in places where agriculture normally wouldn't work — even with ancient-era irrigation. So garden should instead require Engineering.

Are your Gardens not typed as Culture buildings? I ask because when I choose the Tradition/Legalism policy I can get free Monuments or Free Dojos (from whoward69's mod) depending on which technology I learn first, but I can't get Gardens for free when I pick Calendar. Is that working as intended?

okay.... that makes sense

I'm working on an update that scales back the Food/Culture bonuses for the Hanging Gardens (+10% each, same city only). Unfortunately, since I've never played the Vanilla version of Civ 5, most of my mods will be aimed at G&K users. Other people are welcome to re-mod this for Vanilla, as long as I get credit for the original.

can you make a vanilla versiion

i do not understand they can build the hanging gardens of babylon but need dlc to play as babylon can't someone make a mod that holds babylon in it

In this mod HG are even more OP than they were in vanilla (when they gave +10 food).
15% food AND CULTURE bonus? FIFTEEN? the +3food/happy and +6 after fertilizer are great, but 15% food is a mega bonus and 15% culture TO ENTIRE EMPIRE is a ridiculous quadrouple mega bonus! Sichstine chapel gives "only" 25% culture empire wide, and it costs like 2x more and it's from +3 eras? Compared to these gardens it's a weak wonder.

10% food and culture TO THE CITY in which it is build - then it's not OP. Otherwise not worth playing with, unless you like too easy games.

@framedarchitecture: I removed the Babylon DLC requirement in version 6 -- and fixed the other errors that you helped me with via chat. Thank you!

Not sure why there is the Babylon DLC req? While I miss the GP spawn on the gardens, I really like the changes to Hanging Garden for expansionist civs.
