Choose 12 wonders you most want to see included in the DLCs and the first expansion of Civ6

How would people feel about having the Burj Khalifa as an Information Era Wonder? I don't know too much about the building other than it being the world's tallest at the moment, which is an impressive feat alone.

Sure! It wouldn't be my first choice, but it would look very cool on the map. Plus, the extreme lack of information era wonders frustrates me.

Mausoleum of Halicarnassus is already in the game (weirdly, as a Medieval Wonder) so we may want to encourage those who voted for it to revote (after the poll is fixed to remove it as an option).

Instead of the Porcelain Tower (overused, frequently associated with science for God-knows-what-reason), we should get Hwangnyongsa, a massive 9-storey wooden pagoda made by Queen Seondeok, and Korea's most impressive wonder (though it no longer stands). It was the Korean wonder in Age of Empires II: The Conquerors, and it should be Korea's representative as a world wonder in Civ VI.

 

[Xandinho]

So, I enabled the option to change the vote.

I changed my vote from the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus to Notre Dame.

But sorry, there is no option to exchange one alternative for another, or to exclude an existing alternative in the poll. Then, the Porcelain Tower will continue in the poll and the Hwangnyongsa will have to wait until the first expansion is launched and I will do another poll.

What about the Göbekli Tepe as an Ancient Era wonder unlocked by Mining?

Nothing against this, but this is too old, seems to have been built on something close to 11000 years ago. So I prefer this as a kind of 'natural wonder', in that way no playable civilization will build, for we will think that this is something that was already established in that place before the emergence of civilizations.

Hmm, perhaps. You make a good point, but personally it bothers me that Civ V had man-made NATURAL wonders. It's hardly natural if someone has built and designed it. What if it was available from the start of the game? Maybe as an early source of culture and faith?

Are you referring to King Solomon's Mines and El Dorado?

I think Gobeklitepe and some other prominent neolithic archaeological sites can be added to the game in some form, perhaps as a special sort of archeological site.

Indeed I am.

Maybe, but it's hardly unusual in Civ to be building Wonders far past the date they were actually built. I don't think the inclusion of Göbekli Tepe would be that disruptive.

To be fair, Stonehenge also antedates the start of the game, albeit by only about five hundred years instead of several thousand.

 

[Vahnstad]

I still need
Borobodur
Lalibela (don't know why i voted for that)
Himeji Castle
Louvre
Machu Picchu
Notre Dame
and Taj Mahal

the other ones i voted for are already in the game. I think Louvre or Notre Dame won't make it eventually, since they won't add two additional French wonders but they will add one more (it could also hint that we won't get a French alternate leader yet). We also have a different Japanese and Indonesian wonder so the castle and Borobodur aren't certain too. Machu Picchu and Taj Mahal are tied to the Inca's and the Mughals, i assume. Lalibela COULD be tied to Ethiopia (or the natural wonder Erta Ale) if they release them in a DLC (or an expansion pack, what i hope).

Great Mosque of Djenne could be tied to Mali.

Speaking of which, I will recreate another topic of this as soon as the first expansion is released, I will replace the wonders already present in the game with others ones. And I'm going to rule out Akshardham Temple and Cairo Citadel by others, since they seem to be very unpopular

The biggest Buddhist temple in the world? Should be a lock. My vote goes to Borobudur

 

[Morningcalm]

A lot of these wonders seem to have been included in Civ V and several, like the CN Tower, are very unlikely to return in VI. Others, like the Taj Mahal and Machu Pichu, are Civ musts in my opinion. Incidentally I'm glad the Temple of Artemis in the next expansion. I remember bringing out Wonder Woman and the Amazons as references to try and save it from elimination in one of these forum thread's many elimination games, long after my arguments about its 7 Wonder status had faded from view.

I think new choices will appear in future expansions. Maybe we'll see Todai-ji Temple (Japan), or Hwangnyongsa (Korea) some day, though I expect when/if they introduce Hwangnyongsa it will be in a future expansion and get faith bonuses.

They already add a Buddhist temple wonder in this expansion, and the Mahabodhi temple was already in the base game. I doubt that we'll see more Buddhist temple wonders in civ VI. (And the Potala is in part a Temple wonder as well). I'd like to be wrong on this, however.

Yeah, that might be the only Japanese wonder in Civ6. Not sure if Himeji Castle will return.

I would like to have Hwangnyongsa in the game, but if this will not be included now that Korea is being included, I find it very unlikely that it will be included later. Not even Japan has received much attention in wonders, it got one now and I doubt that we will see another.

Anyway, Civ6 has left many important wonders outside, we saw no sign of Taj Mahal yet, Borobudur was not released with Indonesia and some people say that Machu Picchu may not be included due to placement problems.

No Andean wonder in Civ6 would make me sad.

Well, there will not be Machu Picchu in this expansion, but if the Incas are added now, I think I will lose my hopes.

 

[Xandinho]

Coincidentally, we had 12 wonders included among the DLCs and first expansion.

Result:

• 1. Machu Picchu - 69.4%
• 2. Taj Mahal - 66.9% - Already in game in Rise and Fall expansion.
• 3. Angkor Wat - 59.5% - Already in game in DLC
• 4. Statue of Liberty (Already in game in Rise and Fall expansion.) and Notre Dame - 53.7%
• 5. Himeji Castle - 49.6%
• 6. Kremlin - 43.0% - Already in game in Rise and Fall expansion and it is finally called St. Basil's Cathedral.
• 7. Neuschwanstein - 42.1%
• 8. Statue of Zeus and Louvre - 41.3%
• 9. Parthenon and Temple of Artemis (Already in game in Rise and Fall expansion.) - 39.7%
• 10. Leaning Tower of Pisa - 36.4%
• 11. Great Mosque of Djenne - 32.2%
• 12. Borobudur and St. Peter's Basilica - 31.4%

Thanks everyone for the participation. I am very happy that this search reached more than 100 voters.

So, please @leif erikson, @Browd, @bite, close this thread, I'll start a new one with new wonders soon.
