        Something that eclipses the Eiffel Tower in it's beauty

        Seriously though, I wonder if that shows a lot of the wonders to be found in Civ4...The Empire State Building, The Pharos, Statue Of Liberty, etc...

                This game is not american only you know.
                Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

                  The obelisk next to the Seattle tower is also a very nice touch

                    I think that bi-plane on the right is in for a bit of surprise....

                      Pharos and SoL were present in Civ2 and Civ3. The Empire State Building would be cool though (probably a national wonder).

                          True. And I would add Colosseo di Roma (Rome Coliseum for you) is still in Italy last time I saw it.
