When I was at GenCon, they were giving previews by someone at Firaxis. He stated in no uncertain terms that there is a CIA Headquarters small wonder that helps (or maybe allows) spying.

Having it as a minor wonder would make more sense. That way the US could have the CIA, the Ruskies KGB and the UK has MI6. It could be named something like 'Intelligence HQ'.

The Pentagon is already in, they should have made it KGB Headquarters."I agree with everything i've heard you recently say-I hereby applaud Christantine The Great's rapid succession of good calls."-isaac brock
"This has to be one of the most impressive accomplishments in the history of Apolyton, well done Chris"-monkspider (Refering to my Megamix summary)

Nope, it's fine the way it is. The Pentagon was built for the Army, not a spy agency. A centralized control center for an army makes more sense for the effect it does than a headquarters for some snoops."We are reducing all the complexity of billions of people over 6000 years into a Civ box.

I remember reading somwhere, that all wonders from Civ2 will also be included in Civ3 in some capacity, though many will only make it as minor wonders and some will have their effects changed.
On top of the Civ2 wonders, I recall that the following will be included in some capacity:
internet
Pentagon
CIARome rules

Remember that now we know that some minor wonders become available when you have achieved certain things (eg, coal and iron available in one city, first special unit, etc), so not all have a prerequisite tech per se.Speaking of Erith:

Added it to the list. Note that CIA stands for Central Intelligence Agency so the name is civ-neutral.Any other country define espionage with different "politically correct" name. We used "service" (in italian, of course) instead of "agency", no mention to "central", more relevance to military vs non-military status...
IIRC the USSR KGB stand for "Committee for State Security".
Better use a real neutral name as "Intelligence Department""We are reducing all the complexity of billions of people over 6000 years into a Civ box. Let me say: That's not only a PkZip effort....it's a real 'picture to Jpeg heavy loss in translation' kind of thing."

Ribbanah-
I don't think that the Tower of Babel is a wonder. That picture alone is not evidence of anything since it is the picture that is being used as a promotion for the entire civ game and does not represent one wonder. Also that picture doesn't resemble the Tower of Babel. That was merely Breugel's title for his painting which was more allegorical than realistic. Finally what attributes would the tower have? Reaching heaven? The Tower is an impossible wonder since it was never completed and its construction brought the DEstruction of the empire that built it. I would be nervous that a deity would strike my civ down for the impertinence of building a tower to reach heaven. So, will you take it off the list?

Customized small wonders?
It would be nice if the small wonders which needed it are customized per civivilization. So the americans can found their CIA and the russians their KGB. The americans their pentagon etc. The french their Notre Dame, the english their Westminster Abbey, etc. In a lot of cases the same imagery could be used. But it would be even nicer when the imagery also depended on the civ, when the city view would be a surprise every time you play another civ.
