And The Losing Wonder is...

[IamSlowwHand]

Manhattan Project, in an extremely close race.

Tied for Runneup:
Oracle, Shakespeare's Theatre, Cure For Cancer, and United Nations.

Also receiving votes were:
King Richard's, Marco Polo, S.O.L., Women's Sufferage, and Great Wall.


Thanks to all that voted.

The fact that the race was so close is just more proof that every wonder (well not ET in MP) has it's uses. I see some very good wonders on the list, so I guess it has a lot do with people playing style

[suas333]

Agreed Ming. For communism users. S.O.L is ivery important. Nice election.

[Caesar the Great]

suas, you make communism sound like a drug

[Mercantile]

LOL Manhattan won. I will gladly trade in any and i do mean any wonder for the project, if i have a large tech lead

Interesting poll, and i agree, it just goes to show you how many different playing styles there are to this great game

I found the vote to be somewhat surprising.

Since I tabulate the votes, I abstain.
Had I voted, I think it would have been for Oracle.

Surprising to me were votes for Great Wall and the Embassy Wonders. I like Great Wall pretty well as it really helps in plopping down a city anywhere.
The Embasssies? Very useful to have, but sometimes, I don't want to know.

More than one voter for Manhattan Project made mention of the cost of clean up after utilization.
A valid point.

United Nations? That's one of my favorite wonders. If I would have voted, I would have voted for Apollo program. Not too helpful because it gives away your location to EVERYONE. And if your a small civ, and hiding, then your in trouble. If your the big civ looking for a small civ then it's not too bad, but I still don't like it. Anyway.....

I cant understand why Eifell Tower hav\nt received any votes. This wonder is totally useless for me (but offcourse manhatten project is worse, because of the global warming.

If I remember correctly, the eiffel tower was not an option to be voted for, since it is obviously the most useless in a MP game.

I voted for United Nations. Its only uses in multiplayer are: 1) getting embassies with everyone, which you should already have at that point; 2) easier attack in Democracy, which is virtually useless since you can always get somebody to negotiate with you and ask you to declare war on whomever it is you wish to attack.
