How certain are we about The Motherland Calls and Borobudur? IIRC, the loading screen for Civ IV featured Florence Cathedral, which was notably missing from the game's wonder list...

Asked and answered! Thanks much! Now I'm just impatient to see the next ones!

Copied from another thread - hoping that you guys know something more about this:
I was thinking with the new Ideologies (Communism, Facism, Democracy) that perhaps those extra Wonders might fit with those. We've already seen Motherland Calls so could we perhaps see Mt Rushmore and something like the Zeppelintribune as the last two wonders. They would fit that new element and both are visually striking in the same way Motherland calls is.

I'd like to see the Spring Temple Buddha included as a world wonder; it's a recent "wonder", but it is currently the largest standing statue at 420 feet. Would provide bonuses to

Also; does any one else think that maybe religious world wonders should get extra bonuses if your following that religion?

Just thought of another one while I was running around on Wikipedia - The Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956; probably a better name for it or something, but it was a huge event in the United States, and really is a modern wonder. Bonuses could be +

+tourism, and +1 movement for all units on a tile with roads.

If you were to add a highway system as a wonder (Which I wouldn't want to do), I would prefer the Autobahn over the Eisenhower highways. Could work as an Autocracy-based wonder too since they have the Motherland Calls as a Soviet wonder

What would it do though? Speed up movement along roads?
Seems useless as most people would have railroads by then anyway.

If you got gold for road tiles, it would allow you to build road spam, which was one of the big reasons they made roads into a money sink in the first place.
I think it might be cool bonus if you could get Faith from road tiles by a World Wonder or some other way.
It would remind the Mayan Sacbes which connected temples, plazas, and groups of structures within ceremonial centers or cities, and The Holy Way which led from Bohemia to Meissen and ran between Grillenburg through Tharandt_Forest and to Wilsdruff.
Perhaps it would be a road which connects two Holy Cities (or Religious City State) and later in the game could provide Tourism bonus and as the road tiles cost maintenance no reason to start spam them even with a Faith bonus.

Even more reason to build the wonder. First game in G&K I'd probably want to build it just so I could go road crazy

That's an interesting idea. It was less than effective in that regard, though, if you think about that. Really, that's what the Great Firewall should do.
