View Full Version : Which new Wonder are you looking forward to the most? Melyerk Jun 27, 2007, 10:20 AM I gotta vote Statue of Zeus...Punish the AI for warring with me... Train Jun 27, 2007, 10:29 AM Cristo Redentor! First time in Civ and it is the first South American wonder in Civilization series (correct me if I'm wrong)! cairnsy44 Jun 27, 2007, 10:37 AM it was between the AP and the CR for me....But if I am not playing a spiritual civ, then CR is pretty cool....no anarchy! Otherwise it would be the AP...I love the voting. So in the end I voted for......CR. kristopherb Jun 27, 2007, 10:42 AM Cristo Redentor! First time in Civ and it is the first South American wonder in Civilization series (correct me if I'm wrong)! chichen izza Im looking forward to no anarncy! Soneji Jun 27, 2007, 10:51 AM Anarchy... Thedrin Jun 27, 2007, 01:43 PM Apostolic Palace. Even if I don't build it I will still directly feel its influence (it's not like I'm going to war against the civ that builds the Statue of Zeus). sneaky Jun 27, 2007, 01:48 PM Damn, I voted for Shwedagon Paya, because I thought the Apostolic Palace wasn't included in the poll. :( dh_epic Jun 27, 2007, 02:11 PM I'm surprised most people are excited about the AP. It's just going to be the UN but earlier. Doesn't anybody else remember how useless and crappy the UN is? dutchking Jun 27, 2007, 02:38 PM I said the Apolistic Palace, I like Diplo victories. SonicLlama Jun 27, 2007, 07:09 PM Shewadagon Paya. Unlock Free Religion early, erase diplo penalties for religious differences, and get a boost to research while building up libraries and monastaries to turn your civ into a scientific wonderland. ...And then crush everyone with riflemen and grenadiers while they're still all still using axemen and longbows. TheLastOne36 Jun 27, 2007, 07:38 PM Why isn't the Moai Statues on the list? I'd vote for them. Da_V_Man Jun 27, 2007, 07:43 PM Statue of Seuss. That'll teach Monty to declare war on me for no reason at all! Kushluk Jun 27, 2007, 08:07 PM Apostolic Palace + Byzantines = Emperor of teh werld :p Ceasar, Emperor, Kronokator. Abgar Jun 27, 2007, 08:09 PM Apostolic Palace, do I even need to tell? TheLastOne36 Jun 27, 2007, 08:10 PM still wondering why the Moai Statue aren't on the list. porto_alegre_xP Jun 27, 2007, 08:11 PM chichen izza Im looking forward to no anarncy! chichen itza is north american. mexico. Dom Pedro II Jun 27, 2007, 08:12 PM Heh... I had to go Apostolic Palace too... Which is unfortunate because Cristo Redentor is from my home country of Brazil which up to this point hasn't gotten any love from the Civ team (no i'm not arguing for it to be a civ :p ) On the other hand, I'm not a Christian... so it's a little hard to get too misty-eyed over it for me. porto_alegre_xP Jun 27, 2007, 08:12 PM christ redemmer (my god, I wright redemmer, redemeer, redeemmer or what?) scy12 Jun 27, 2007, 08:24 PM Paya . Comes early and has a game changing effect you can base future strategies on. It is one of the wonders you can plan your game by choosing leaders before it , for it. Plus i want to go both Pyramids and Paya with Ramses. Agarwaen Jun 28, 2007, 12:03 AM Cristo Redentor!!!! For the first time in Civ I'll be building the wonder of my city in real life. Nicopol Jun 28, 2007, 08:33 AM Apostolic Palace will be fun! that's for sure SkippyT Jun 28, 2007, 08:38 AM Paya. Comes with Meditation and lasts forever. If playing as Boudica (who starts with mysticism) I can found Buddhism, adopt theocracy, beeline for Iron working and have super Gallic warriors. Bandobras Took Jun 28, 2007, 08:45 AM Paya. Call me a sucker for Free Religion before most religions are even founded. :) allansm Jun 28, 2007, 09:12 AM Cristo Redentor. Is pretty cool to have a wonder of my home country in the game, besides I like have no anarchy. Shwedagon Paya is the second I'm looking forward the most. I usually adopt free religion as soon as possible to get rid of diplo penalties, so the possibility to adopt it in the beginning of the game is something I'm looking forward, besides that the research bonus of free religion is nice too. White Elk Jun 28, 2007, 09:44 AM The Apostolic Palace (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=222075#UN) without a doubt is the wonder I most look forward to. There are many more options than the UN had. I think this one will be loads of fun. The one I look least forward to is the Statue of Zeus. I don't think its bad. I just don't look forward to suffering through increased micromanagement due to War Weariness. I never liked having to scan my entire empire every turn to reassign citizens to avoid starvation. Though it will be interesting to employ spies to locate the Statue and then plan the war around taking that city out ASAP! Quagga Jun 28, 2007, 09:50 AM Why isn't the Moai Statues on the list? I'd vote for them. Second that (non-)vote. Many flawed polls in these forums. In any case, being able to get production from sea tiles could be a huge win. Single-tile islands and skinny peninsulas could be decent city sites. Bast Jun 28, 2007, 10:32 AM Paya. Play as Pericles grab Pyramids, unlock Representation and Free Religion and swim in a pool of Great People. IAM Jun 28, 2007, 10:56 AM Most wonders don't seem game changing. The Apostolic Palace looks like it can make a definative difference in strategy. So that one looks the most interesting. Doesn't everyone want a marble outhouse with a gold seat... but maybe that's just me. Excuse me I must return to my throne. FOR SALE: French rifles for sale CHEAP, like new, never fired and only dropped once.:confused: FOR SALE: WWII standard issue French white surrender flags. Each French 'soldier' carried three such flags on their person at all times. CHEAP, most are soiled... and worn from too much use.:dunno: Slobadog Jun 28, 2007, 11:50 AM Statue of Zeus. Should make wars against multiple opponents easier. Thedrin Jun 28, 2007, 01:24 PM TheLastOne36: Why isn't the Moai Statues on the list? I'd vote for them. still wondering why the Moai Statue aren't on the list. Quagga: Second that (non-)vote. Many flawed polls in these forums. In any case, being able to get production from sea tiles could be a huge win. Single-tile islands and skinny peninsulas could be decent city sites. Possibly (and this is speculation) because the poll was only intended for world wonders, excluding national wonders like the Maoi statues and the national park. Dom Pedro II Jun 28, 2007, 01:33 PM Cristo Redentor!!!! For the first time in Civ I'll be building the wonder of my city in real life. Uh... you must originally be a carioca because Cristo Redentor isn't in Sao Paulo :p Bongo-Bongo Jun 28, 2007, 01:36 PM I voted for the Apostolica Palace, although it was a tough choice between that and Paya. Dutch Canuck Jun 28, 2007, 06:20 PM Statue of Zeus if my neighbours are aggressive - that'll teach them to back off! :D Otherwise the S. Paya as I often like to exploit the religious aspects of the game :) Phoenix1595 Jun 29, 2007, 12:14 AM AP all the way. It will make war so much more interesting. Tsukasa Jun 29, 2007, 06:01 AM AP - what else? Phoenix1595 Jun 29, 2007, 05:12 PM Whose been voting for the Christ Redentor wonder? It's a cool wonder, but I'd like to know why no anarchy beats out AP, SZ, and even an extended golden age under MM. I guess I'm just one of the few who really doesn't get phased by revolutions (of course, I typically don't change civics every other turn either). bonafide11 Jun 29, 2007, 05:23 PM Oh definitely the St. Louis Arch! http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d9/Gateway_Arch_edit1.jpg Wait, what do you mean it's not included? :lol: Perhaps it could grant -50% maintenance to Westward Expansion... :mischief: |
