Ooops, sorry. I was just kidding because of my late answer to your question; I don't mean you must check by yourself!

Now we have another task: to guess the Specific attribute equivalent for every Wonder

I guess that Art of War is Militaristic, Hoover Dam is Industrious, and the Great Wall is Militaristic and Industrius... I wonder if I'm right

I bet no-one can guess the rest as good as me

SETI==>scientific

(this can't be wrong

)

This is what I think (all purely opinion)

Great Wonders:
Great Wall (militaristic and industrious)
Colossus (commercial)
Hanging Gardens (industrious)
The Oracle (religious)
Pyramids (industirous)
Lighthouse (expansionist and commercial)

Minor Wonders:
The Art of War (militaristic)
Great Observatory (scientific)
Great Library (scientific)
The Hoover Dam (industrious)
SETI Program (scientific)
Sistine Chapel (religious)
Grand Cathedral (religious)
The Pentagon (militaristic)
SDI (militaristic)
Trading Company (commerical)
Wall Street (commercial)

Unconfirmed Minor Wonders:
CIA Headquarters (militaristic)
Great University (scientific)
Heroic Epic(expansionist)
Ironworks(industrious)

If Apollo-program wonder is included, I think it would be fair to have First-man-in-space -wonder and Sputnik-wonder also included. I mean, that's where it all started. Apollo could be a greater wonder (because only USA has sent people to the moon) and the other two could be lesser wonders (guess why

).
And please, let there not be a Statue-of-Liberty -wonder; it's nothing more than a big chick, received as a gift from France.

Ribannah · September 15, 2001, 03:39

Added the United Nations (from "Ask the Civ team").

Sava · September 15, 2001, 05:49

Don't those wonders look silly? I mean, it looks like about 500 people live in that town and then you have these monstrous wonders just *boom* sticking out.

monkspider · September 16, 2001, 17:06

here's confirmation of a few more wonders for ya Rib
click here for "Epic" and "Forbidden Palace" (which could be the Monarchy wonder we have been wondering about

Here's a confirmation of Ironworks

Does anyone know anything about this "Forbidden Palace" wonder?

Is it like the Forbidden City of China, where the emporer and his court lived? Don't know anything about it's civ properties though...

Gramphos · September 21, 2001, 11:59

On the new update there is a city screen showing Paris building Smith's Trading Company and Magellan's Voyage being built in another city shown on the map. Another view of Paris building Wall Street.

Stuie · September 21, 2001, 12:14

Check out the new Domestic Advisor screenshot; is that the Theory of Evolution being built in Memphis??

Sure looks like it...

Adrien · September 21, 2001, 12:18

Shakespeare's Theatre is in.

Or at least, I think it is. There's a structure that looks very, very much like the Globe Theatre (Shakespeare's) on a screenshot on the back of the preorder box at Best Buy.

Yes, it certainly does. Theory of Evolution probably replaces Darwins Voyage.

Imran Siddiqui · September 21, 2001, 12:41

New screen at Civ3.com confirming that The Pyramids, The Hanging Gardens, The Colossus, The Great Lighthouse, The Great Library, and The Oracle all come back to civ3.

Added to Adam Smith's and Magellan's, and the new Wall Street (though we don't know if any are minor wonders).

Roland Ehnström · September 21, 2001, 14:59

Stuie, darn, you beat me to it - I was just about to tell the (civ)world that Memphis looks like it's building the Theory of Evolution in that screen.

Anyway, here is a link: http://www.civ3.com/gallery.cfm?startimg=16 It is in the middle-right pic.

Yes, looks like it. Updated my original post.

Admiral PJ · September 22, 2001, 07:41

I would LIKE to see a small wonder (nothing minor about it) that gives each base a Naval Port (as in SMAC) perhaps a Naval Academy or Docks , even better would be The Admiralty Headquarters.

You could have an International Airport wonder too, that gives airports to each city on that continent, or just increases trade and culture.

I wonder if the Apollo Wonder works the same way, it would be better to have a small wonder of The Spy Satellite Network as well as apollo/Space agency, that shows you once the complete world map, and allows you to always see enemy ships (easy to spot)

Admiral PJ · September 22, 2001, 08:10

Perhaps Firaxis haven't completely finalised everything that is Wonders (sic) , as it wasn't long ago they announced you could get the Golden Age option peacefully with them, so they'll probably have to change around when wonders can be built and what civ style they represent (like religious/indutrious civs needing the Pyramids maybe )

So we better give them all our wonder ideas right now before its too late !

I think they should have:
More scientific like discoveries-

The Royal Joust (or Royal Tilting Yard) - Medieval style competition to proove knights worthiness. Increases Knight skill ranks by 2 in your civ(any city, meaning they become Elite quicker with the extra grades of Veteran available)

Discovery of Pennicilin Antibiotics (or Invention - it had to be manufactured) increases growth rates each city or one discontent citizen made content in each. (info: discovered by Fleming in Britain)

Euclidean Geometry - doubles worker rates (better civil engineering for planning roads etc) Discovered by greek philosopher Euclid was the basis for modern geometry(basis of engineering and 3d graphics).

Anti-Slavery Legislation - Abraham Lincoln and co's ban on slavery in the US ; stops waste from production and decreases corruption(perhaps?)

Silicon Valley - doubles research of all Research Labs in your civ.

PJ

ixnay · September 22, 2001, 10:30

Apparently in the new PCGamer UK preview, it mentions that the Apollo Program and Battlefield Medicine are both small wonders.

Britain stopped slavery first. As a Briton you should know that

JellyDonut · September 22, 2001, 12:54

How about this for a wonder:

The Coca-Cola Factory: increases production by 50% coz we're all so wired. Effects expire with discovery of Civ 3.

Also decreases other civs regrd for you by 6000%, every now and again the economy is devastated by coca-cola wars

SSBLoveU · September 22, 2001, 15:06

At Hershey Park, they have a very special clock as a wonder. I did always wonder about time, hehehe.

monkspider · September 23, 2001, 19:21

Hey Rib, you might want to move Ironworks and Epic off of the unconfirmed list. here's a pair of links

click here for "Epic" and "Forbidden Palace" (presumably a minor wonder)

Here's a confirmation of Ironworks

From this thread, a Firaxian confirms:

Great Wonder: Longevity

Gives effect similar to the population boom during a WLTKD in civ2.

Ribannah · September 28, 2001, 15:13

Monkspider, I can't find anything useful from those links.

Initial post nonetheless updated with Longevity and Leo's.

lockstep · September 28, 2001, 17:22

Firaxis has confirmed the Forbidden Palace as a small wonder: http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...threadid=27801.
