OK, to summarize: wonders are assigned a value that corresponds with civ unique traits (milatiristic, etc.) If a civ with those traits buiilds that wonder, a golden age is triggered!! Small wonders (not called minor, apparently) never become obsolete, and require events, such as Wall Street requiring 5 banks and SDI which requires Integrated defense and 5 SAM batteries.

The news about wonders is wonderful!!!
Firaxis is really emphasizing gameplay for civ3. I think the game is really going to have that addictive gameplay that we have come to love about civ!'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"

Actually the most important thing is...
By building major wonders that fufil your civs attribute you can start a golden age. That means there is a peaceful way of having your golden age.
This is huge news.
To quote Dan:
If the attributes of the Wonders you've completed match your Civ's strengths, you will trigger a Golden Age. For example, the Chinese are "Militaristic" and "Industrious". If they build The Art of War and Hoover Dam, this satisfies both strengths and a Golden Age would begin. A far better tact for the Chinese would be to build the Great Wall, which satisfies both strengths at once and would immediately trigger a Chinese Golden Age upon completionAbout 24,000 people die every day from hunger or hunger-related causes. With a simple click daily at the Hunger Site you can provide food for those who need it.

So I would have to say it is just a still image.About 24,000 people die every day from hunger or hunger-related causes. With a simple click daily at the Hunger Site you can provide food for those who need it.

Yes, we have a peaceful trigger, and they have changed the abilities of China.
I like the first one, about the second one: damned! I was going to play as Chinese because of their abilities.Creator of the Civ3MultiTool

Hurray for the peaceful Golden age trigger!
Will the game remember whether or not we've already had a Golden Age? Can you get two Golden Ages for your civilization in a single game, one by unique unit victory and another by building the appropriate great wonder(s)? If I win a battle with my Chinese "rider" and have 20 turns of Golden Age, can I subsequently (or previously) also gain a second 20 turns of Golden Age in the same game by building the Great Wall?
