New Civ 3 Wonder Files
======================

I loved the excellent work that Che Palle did to add info about the wonders to each wonder screen, but I was getting tired of seeing things like the "SS Minnow" image for Magellan's Great Voyage.  So I created a new set of screens.

The zip file contains a complete set of wonder screens, but I didn't feel a need to replace every image.  Many of the originals are just fine, so kept these images and just added my own info banner at the bottom.  I intentionally used a look that's similar to Che Palle's, so if you don't care for some of my changes, you can choose only the ones you want and not have a very different appearance. 

New Images
----------

I used new images for these wonders:

Battlefield Medicine
Hanging Gardens
Leonardo's Workshop
Magellan's Great Voyage
Manhattan Project
Michelangelo's Chapel
Smith's Trading Company
Wall Street

I liked the original Great Wall image, so I kept it, but SilentBob had posted an alternate image that was pretty good too.  I used the alternate image in "great wall 2.pcx".  If you prefer that one, just replace "great wall.pcx" with this file. 

I hadn't been all that pleased with the original image for Shakespeare's Theater until a little research showed that it's a pretty good rendering of the real Globe Theater, so I kept it.  Uh oh, playing this game become educational.  For more info on the theater see http://www.shakespeares-globe.org. 

Info Banner
-----------

The info banner has 4 components:

1. A text description of the wonder's effects.
2. When it expires.
3. A number in the lower right showing the wonder's culture points.
4. Up to 2 letters in teh lower right, indicating which type of civ this wonder might trigger a golden age for.  (I went with a a less cluttered look so if the wonder can't trigger a golden age there are no "grayed out" letters.)  The letters stand for:

C - Commercial
E - Expansionist
I - Industrious
M - Militaristic
R - Religious
S - Scientific

I used the existing legend, but I updated it to reflect the civ attribute changes that were made since the first release of the game.

INSTALLATION
------------

1. Go to \Art\Wonder Splash under your Civ 3 installation folder.
2. Backup your original files.
