Following Kizor's question about civ-specific Apollo programs, I'd like to get everybody's thoughts on unique national wonders for each civ. The idea is to come up with new names for the generalized wonders for every civilization, e.g., America could have Harvard Univeristy instead of Oxford, the French would have the Sorbonne, etc. This would add a bit of flavor to the game without necessarily changing the functions of national wonders (though that could be done later).
Just brainstorming, I came up with a few ideas:
America
Forbidden Palace--Independence Hall
Heroic Epic--War Memorial
Hermitage--Smithsonian Institute
Oxford University--Harvard University
Scotland Yard--Central Intelligence Agency
Palace--U.S. Capitol (Yes, the palace is also a national wonder!)
France
Heroic Epic--Arc de Triomphe
Hermitage--The Louvre
Oxford University--Sorbonne
Scotland Yard--Interpol
West Point--Foreign Legion
Rome
Globe Theatre--Theatre of Pompey
Heroic Epic--Triumphal Arch
National Epic--The Aeneid
Hermitage--The Pantheon
Mt. Rushmore--Trajan's Column
Palace--Senate
So what do you think about this idea? Good? Bad? You're the one with the votes.
EDIT: Sorry about the mistake in the first poll option. It should read Make (as in make brand-new wonders) or give each civ unique wonders (for existing national wonders), to include the option of making additional national wonder types beyond the 13 already in the game.
