  • New Wonders

    This topic has most likely been discussed many times before but here are a few wonders that would make the expansion interesting:

    Tower of Babel: it should be completed in the modern era. What it should do im not certain..... maybe use that as if you became the planet .

    Mirrored Satellites: Mirrors placed around earth for 24 hours of light (Russia tried to do this). It would increase production for all (though it would help those who built it most) but cause diplomatic trouble.

    How about a wonder for stopping riots when there is only 1-2 unhappy people

    World Market: adds 1 commerce to every city square for every nation, 2 commerce to square in city built in.

    a museam (cant spell, too lazy for spell check)


    small wonders:
    biodome: adds 2 food baskets to each city

    Fort Knox

    Tokyo Tower (then a Godzilla weapon is given to every other nation but that one)


    other wonder ideas that may or may not work:

    the temples that align with the constellation of draco in cambodia

    stonehenge

    the place where the monkey king resided (chinese tradition)

    Vatican

    herods temple

    Taj Mahal

    Random tangent: somewhere in the modern era there should be a technology that allows us to build sea colonies. I loved colonizing every square inch i possibly could in alpha centauri.

    The Internet will definately be in PTW as a wonder of some sort.
    Up the Irons!
    Rogue CivIII FAQ!
    Odysseus and the March of Time

      This is very wishful but...

      Suez or Panama Cannal!!!

      Built only in a city two land squares away from two seperate oceans which it would join when built.

      How many times in a game I've wished I'd had those...

      Another more plausible wonder - Effiel Tower. I miss the ability to make other civs forget you betrayed them again and again and again

Give me four and they'll build a pyramid. Give me five and they'll make one an outcast. Give me six and they'll reinvent prejudice. Give me seven and in seven years they'll reinvent warfare. Man may have been made in the image of God, but human society was made in the image of His opposite number, and is always trying to get back home." - Glen Bateman, The Stand (Stephen King)

        This is more futuristic than modern, and it shouldn't be in the game unless the game were to go into the future.

          Here are a few wonders that would go nicely with the new civs we are expecting (or not) in this or the next expansion pack:

          Angkor Wat counts as a temple in all cities within 4 squares
          Stonehenge city squares in all cities within 4 squares get +1 of everything
          Salomon's Court decreases corruption
          The Ten Commandments improves culture flipping odds
          Camelot reduces the production costs of mounted units
          The Thousand and One Nights (or: Grand Bazar) decreases waste
          The Great Mountain Road reduces the time to build roads
          The Inquisition expells citizens of foreign cultures
          Topkapi Palace increases the effectiveness of artillery
          East Indies Company counts as a harbor in each city
          Kinderdike Mills +2 shields in each city at river/lake
          Red Cross allows wounded units to return to nearest barracks
          Sydney Opera House makes 8 content citizens happy
          Kruger National Park no pollution from forests squares
          Freud's Interpretation of Dreams counts as a luxury
          A horse! A horse! Mingapulco for a horse! Someone must give chase to Brave Sir Robin and get those missing flags ...

                The associated tech should IMHO be Romanticism (from Arts and Nationalism).

                    Freud was a cheat and shouldn't be honored with a Wonder.
                    The difference between industrial society and information society:
                    In an industrial society you take a shower when you have come home from work.
                    In an information society you take a shower before leaving for work.

                      I'd like a "Surveilance Satellites" small wonder that abolishes Fog of War worldwide...

                        Aaah!

                        I'd go crazy if I had to watch the AI's every stupid move!

                        Some things are better left unseen...

                        Hmm... Yeah, I suppose that makes more sense than than 'Crazy architectural design'. But mine still sounds better

                          Regional Capital, similiar to the forbidden palace only you can build more than one.

                            Why not bring back the Statue of Liberty and Eifel Tower as they were in Civ 2?

                              Perhaps it could work like the "Steal Plans" spy mission, and only showed them if you wanted to see them.
                              The true nature of a man is shown by what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.
