Why can't lieges build wonders?

[flogi]

The title pretty much says it. I don't understand why this limitation was put upon us and apart from that since there is a game option for wonders, why can't it be enabled there?
It does not make sense either. Why shouldn't a wealthy vasall be able to build a grand library like many did etc etc.

I was pretty eager to mod with this new feature, but now as it stands the limitations make it pretty much impossible to achieve what I wanted to do...

Maybe someone can give an explanation.
It cannot be enabled by the defines either.
Please explain/help...

I remember reading in one of the previous threads that the wonders are always owned by the top liege rather the county owner, is this still the case and any chance of making this moddable on a per wonder basis?

That is still the case and won't be moddable I'm afraid :/
The fact that there is one wonder and one top owner per province is something we are utilizing in code.
It would take us a decent amount of time and probably create a heap of bugs to change that at this point.

Thanks for answering.
Thats a terrible design decision though. Does not really make sense at all.

I would imagine it is, as said, a coding rather than a design decision. Historically g institutions were usually controlled by the ultimate ruler.

I'm sure there is a good reason they did this. But there could've been a better way to implement this still.

Also I'm not sure how institutions were controlled by the top liege. Cathedrals were under control of the bishops in the region not by their top liege. Important libraries founded by local ruler were under their control, not of their liege.
I don't really think this is represented very accurately.
