Sorry about that.

The Moby Games site can be a pain. The screenshots won't show up.

Try this link to view several screenshots including the Pentagon:

Wierd. Those pics showed up properly the first time.

Nice mexican pyramid, Leonidas how well will it scale down to 1 tile in CTP2(IW?)?

Ah, I overlooked the Forbidden City. Yeah, it would be nice if the replacement could be the Sagrada Familia. For the 21st wonder I'd absolutely love to have the temples of Madurai or the Mosque of Timbuctur (or Djenne), but finding suitable graphics for those probably won't be easy (I can get plenty of real photos but that wouldn't do much good, I suppose). Failing that, Kremlin or Notre Dame (or maybe St. Paul's) would IMHO probably be the best choices.

Another alternative would be to use place 20 and 21 for the two missing original wonders: the Mausoleum and the Temple of Artemis. A bit Western-centric and unoriginal perhaps, but those *are* true classics (and graphics shouldn't be too hard to find)...

If i find some pics of things that might be good for using as Wonder graphics what is the prefered file extension for them and do i need to have different faceings for them or will one do? I usually save my pics in GIF format but i could send em in BMP(but it takes more memory). Some stuff attached plus Sheep/Zebra/Wolf for resource tiles(?)

EDIT: If i'm being very 'amateur' someone needs to tell me - else i'll keep posting not usefull stuff

child of Thor: Your efforts, like everyone's here, are very much appreciated. Anything you find that you think might help, let us know. . .

I am sorry to say this but were the hell are you getting toes cac pics from I Havant seen half toes missions and I got both the original and add on

[child of Thor]

from various web-sites, that last bunch was from one of the fan-based Ceaser3 sites. Have you had any luck getting building pics extracted from the game files(I guess you got Pharoh)?

[Immortal Wombat]

CoT: any format's a good format. *.jpgs are probably the best for size without loss of quality, but whatever, I can convert no problems.
I didn't use the pyramid in the above shot, I used the one Locutus posted on page 2 (I think), but it scales down quite well. PhotoExpress allows me to sharpen the image after resizing, so it looks (IMO...) alright.

So I'll go for the Sagrada Familia and a Mosque if I can find it. The graphics for the hanging gardens are rare as well, so that might need replacing. In which case I will go for Notre Dame or the Kremlin.

Here are the first 7:

One on the left is the Pharos Lighthouse, then from the top left:
Temple of Jerusalem (no, really ); Chichen Itza; Temple of Zeus; Great Pyramid at Giza; Pentagon; Colisseum.

The one from Civ3 (of which I posted a screenshot on page 2) is no good?

[Immortal Wombat]

I'll use it for now, but its not ideal IMO.
