Torre del Oro (World Wonder)
– Miguel de Cervantes
Torre del Oro is a dodecagonal watchtower in Seville, said to be named after its construction material that shines as gold under sunlight. The first level of the tower base was originally built in 1220 by the Almohad Caliphate to control the waterway of the Guadalquivir River. After the Reconquista, the Spanish rulers added a second and third level to the Torre del Oro, while expanding its functions as well: as a prison, a chapel, and a temporary storage site for precious metal brought by the Spanish treasure fleet. Today, the tower is a Seville landmark and naval museum, demonstrating Seville, the Guadalquivir River and Torre del Oro’s roles in the Age of Exploration.
Grants 3 Galeones, and may purchase additional Galeones with Faith or Gold in this city. Killing a unit with your naval units provides Faith and Gold equal to the defeated unit’s Combat Strength (at standard speed). Must be built next to a River, and the city must have built a Shipyard. +1 Great Admiral point +5 Gold Unlocked at the Mass Production technology.
Naval ranged unit unique to the civilization with the Torre del Oro wonder. Can only be purchased with Faith or Gold. Can perform melee attacks, ranged attacks (Range 2) and coastal raids. Has a build charge to excavate a Silver resource on adjacent land tiles when the Galeón is in a City Center or a Canal.
Supports English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and Japanese.
UPDATE: Spanish localization is now available thanks to TheColdHands.
- Galeón can perform both melee attack and ranged attack (like Persian Immortals), so right-clicking an enemy might cause it attack in an undesired way.
You may use "ranged attack" button to make sure it performs a ranged attack, and "move" button for a melee attack.
