Magil's Wondrous Wonders

Quick note: This improves World Wonders and brings back National Wonders. If you feel like Wonders aren't worth the investment, or are just like the National Wonders concept in previous Civilization games, this mod might be for you!

Originally, I conceptualized this mod as simply adding National Wonders to the game. But as I continued to work on them, I realized that I made them more interesting and powerful than the wonders of the world! So I scaled them down. But I don't want my ideas to be lost. So I decided... Wonders of the World in general are a bit "meh," at least that's the impression I get from a variety of people. The competition for early world wonders isn't very exciting, as they weren't big enough to consider interrupting expansion or conquest, and later wonders are often considered too expensive for their relatively small impact.

so. I decided to completely change the Wonders of the World and transfer some of the ideas I originally had for National Wonders to them. I think National Wonders is still fun, so I've done that. However, this modpack is modular, and you can delete the WorldWonders folder to change World Wonders back to their default in-game state (leaving National Wonders), or delete the NationalWonders folder to just play the World Wonder overhaul.

NOTE: Thanks to thecrazyscot for the More Theming Bonus mod. I was working on my own theme tweak for National Wonders when it popped up and it did pretty much everything I wanted.

These mod changes are contained in a separate xml file ThemingBonus.xml. To make this mod run with more theme bonuses and/or Omnibus, please delete this xml file from my mod folder.
