Build Wonders on Mountains

Is it possible, for some wonders, to make them replace the mountain instead of being build on top of them ? I know that’s how it works for some things.

Also, is it possible to make builders (or else) able to work on something even if they’re not on top of it ? Because it’s possible to speed the process of wonders, but since they can’t walk on mountain, well I can’t ^^

Anyway, easy to add more wonders, and very necessary mod ! Thanks.

For some reason, Petra doesn't work on my game, but Jebel Barkal does?

Love this mod, wish there was one for districts
Melancholy 11 Jun, 2022 @ 8:37pm 
Yes, I think you are correct. Portala Palace can indeed be placed on a mountain tile as long as there is another mountain tile next to it.
Cobber [1st M.I.] 10 Jun, 2022 @ 3:57am 
And I'm aware that the mod's description says that the adjacency requirement for Potala Palace was removed. However, if my memory serves me right, that coding change actually didn't work for some reason, possibly due to the Gathering Storm coding changes, or maybe something to do with the New Frontier Pass changes, but regardless I'm 95% certain that you still have to have another mountain next to the one that you want to use to place the Potala Palace. It might have been something hardcoded into the game's binary files, but don't quote me on that...
Cobber [1st M.I.] 10 Jun, 2022 @ 3:54am 
@Melancholy: You still have to have a 2nd mountain next to the mountain you want to place it on in order to be able place it. That means that it can't be placed on a lone mountain that doesn't have another mountain next to it.
Melancholy 10 Jun, 2022 @ 12:37am 
I am unable to place Portala Palace on top of a mountain for some reason. Every other wonder works fine. Perhaps there was some kind of change implemented in Gathering Storm or the Frontier Pass?

this is great. I love having more space as Qin shihuang to build other wonders
Cobber [1st M.I.] 7 Jun, 2021 @ 3:05pm 
It's not included in that other mod but works alongside of it perfectly fine. Or at least it did when I last played last March anyway...
Crowdawg11 7 Jun, 2021 @ 9:30am 
Is this included in your "easier wonder placement" mod or is it meant to run alongside it?

Is this compatible with:

좋은 모드입니다! 오라클 페트라 포탈라궁 리오의 예수상 <<--이것들을 산에다가 지을 수 있게 됩니다 타일문제를 해결해줍니다!

This idea made sense to me the instant I saw it.
Civ is probebly the game I played most my life. Howcome no one ever though about this?

Putting constructions on mountain neither breaks realism, nor game functions or even power.

I LOVE how you restrained wonders depending on what they are.

@p0keihl
Could you please support 'Neuschwanstein Castle' mod?
It also must build next to the mountain.

Hi Pokiel ! Thanks a lot for all your mods. I'm using a lot of them :) Like ghostreporting911, do you think there is a way to bring the engineer on the mountain to ?
Cobber [1st M.I.] 19 Nov, 2020 @ 2:55pm 
@p0kiehl:

The mod description above is saying that you did remove the adjacent mountain requirement for the Potala Palace, so that's likely causing people some confusion if they read that but then find that its in fact not the case in game.
p0kiehl  [author] 19 Nov, 2020 @ 11:42am 
I do not advise directly modifying the game files.
pauloel7 19 Nov, 2020 @ 11:41am 
@Loka: if you wanna do that, you gotta change Building.xml file > Building_Potala_Palace > from AdjacentToMountain="true" to AdjacentToMountain="false".
p0kiehl  [author] 19 Nov, 2020 @ 10:29am 
It needs to be a mountain adjacent to another mountain.

I did not remove the mountain adjacency because it then allowed Potala to be built on all Hills.
Lokamir Starluna 19 Nov, 2020 @ 10:25am 
Can't build Potala Palace on standalone mountains. Have checked the code and can't find the code that removes mountain adjacency requirement.
pauloel7 28 Oct, 2020 @ 1:10pm 
Good changes.
Lifestar6189 28 Oct, 2020 @ 12:41pm 
I will check
p0kiehl  [author] 28 Oct, 2020 @ 10:51am 
Updated to add Oracle to the mod.

Also, adjacent mountain requirement for Potala was removed.
Cobber [1st M.I.] 19 Oct, 2020 @ 6:59pm 
@Lifestar:

Strange, I wouldn't expect that not having GS would make any difference for this mod as I don't believe it requires GS to function properly. Do you have any other mod installed and active that changes these wonders in any way? Or that changes the requirements for placing these particular wonders?

Those 2 ideas are the only things I can think of that might be preventing you from getting the benefits of this mod, as on my last game I had no issues with building these wonders on mountains using this mod (I do have GS though) and would have thought that this mod should be simple to use for everyone else as well regardless of whether they have GS or not.
Lifestar6189 19 Oct, 2020 @ 5:37pm 
I just finished a game and I could not build any of the 3 wonders on mountains. I have rise and fall but not GS.
Cobber [1st M.I.] 7 Aug, 2020 @ 11:02pm 
No problem, glad to hear that it's working for you now.
pauloel7 7 Aug, 2020 @ 9:51pm 
Ohhh, right... forgot that detail indeed. That worked out. TYVM cobber51.
Cobber [1st M.I.] 22 Jul, 2020 @ 4:54pm 
@pauloel7:

The Potala Palace will work, it just has to have another adjacent mountain to the one you want to place it on in order for it to able to be placed.
pauloel7 22 Jul, 2020 @ 4:45pm 
Anyone else cannot place the Potala Palace on a mountain? Petra worked fine for me - and indeed looks great. I don't have a clue why Potala won't go up there. Please help?
choijanggyu 12 Jun, 2020 @ 10:45pm 
How about add Chinese Great Wall also? It will be natural
GaussTheWizard 25 May, 2020 @ 6:25pm 
Petra looks soooooo much better in a mountain.
ghostreporting911 3 Apr, 2020 @ 1:34pm 
any mod allowing wonder boost engineers to travel on mountains
skillz 22 Feb, 2020 @ 9:47am 
the oracle really also i think should be on this list
number3475 21 Feb, 2020 @ 9:10pm 
I think all roads and fortifications (like forts and great wall) should be able to build on mountains also...Otherwise this should be weird...Would you please make a mod for that?...
Cobber [1st M.I.] 1 Feb, 2020 @ 4:06am 
And adding to that last comment, I believe that means that the Cristo Redentor wonder would also require a 2nd mountain to be adjacent to the mountain that you build that wonder on as well...
Cobber [1st M.I.] 1 Feb, 2020 @ 4:05am 
Disregard that last comment please, this mod does work as well for the Potala Palace. The mod works providing that there is a second adjacent mountain to the 1 that you intend to build the Potala Palace on, as per the base game requirement for a mountain to be adjacent to the hill you ordinarily would build it on...
Cobber [1st M.I.] 1 Feb, 2020 @ 3:08am 
I'm finding that I'm having the same problem as Ricardo, that the Potalata Palace isn't able to be placed on a mountain tile. Had no issue placing Petra on a Desert Mountain though...
Senyu 18 Dec, 2019 @ 7:12am 
I can´t build the Potala on mountains, don´t know why.
Ingolenuru 30 Oct, 2019 @ 4:00pm 
You are awesome! Thank you. :)
p0kiehl  [author] 30 Oct, 2019 @ 3:11pm 
Yep, it's working.
Ingolenuru 30 Oct, 2019 @ 2:33pm 
I love this mod. <3 Does it work with the Sept patch for GS?
Dev 15 Aug, 2019 @ 5:28pm 
@circeus that one too, but I don't think it was released yet when I made my first comment :)
Hoshi 6 Aug, 2019 @ 7:04am 
For some reason i could not build a Potala Palace in a Mountain in my most recent game just on hills next to it... is something going on with this mod ?
circeus 1 Aug, 2019 @ 11:48pm 
@deviathan Whale @P0kiehl hah! I was just coming to ask about Neuschwanstein Castle (which seems likes a more straightforward choice...)
Skaeren 1 Aug, 2019 @ 1:34am 
Any chance you could do a passable mountains mod?
p0kiehl  [author] 2 Jul, 2019 @ 9:27am 
@Deviathan - I will see how that wonder looks on mountains. If it doesn't glitch out graphically I'll add support.
Rootimus 1 Jul, 2019 @ 11:30pm 
@Deviathan - as long as the load order for the file in this mod is higher than the load order for the modded wonder, you can follow the instructions posted previously in this comment thread.
Dev 1 Jul, 2019 @ 9:37pm 
@p0kiehl is it possible to add support for the community wonders like the Buddhas of Bamyan?
Rootimus 16 Jun, 2019 @ 4:46pm 
@JvJ - The White Cliffs are hard-coded not to allow you to build on them AFAIK. *Maybe* when Firaxis release the DLL code.
JvJ 15 Jun, 2019 @ 4:52pm 
Any chance you can add to this by letting us build wonders on the cliffs of dover?
