About this mod
Want something grander monuments to decorate your parks and squares? This mod adds several new victory columns, arches, and obelisks for your cities!
- Permissions and credits
This mod adds a variety of lore-friendly, end-game monuments for your cities—three new columns, two arches, and two obelisks. The columns and obelisks come in small and large sizes for both your run-of-the-mill victories, as well as those special, truly monumental moments (and spaces!).
These buildings can be found in the Luxurious Esplanade Folder in the Investors Category, or the City Decorations Folder in the Culture Category.
GU16 Update: Thanks Jakob, Hier0nimus, Hackner, and shane868 for updating these mods due to my busy schedule! This update includes a brand new fountain inspired by Anno 1701, and new translations as well.
