I'm new to BTS so these are new to me. So building a bunch of stone heads on the coastlines somehow manages to allow you to extract production from the sea... well okay, I could just about accept that as one of Civ's little oddities if it was an ancient World Wonder (which I thought it was when I built it), but to make it a NATIONAL wonder?!
This is a rather odd choice, seeing as in the real world they are a unique ancient wonder, like the Pyramids or Stonehenge or the Great Wall. So to see every nation with their own bunch of stone heads dotted all over the world is odd enough as it is. But coupled with the bizarre effect they have anyway, it just stretches credulity a little for for me. You can somehow accept the somewhat mystical effect they have if they were built in the ancient world (their presence inspiring the population or something), but as a national wonder you'll have people in no rush to build them and making them any time. In the game I'm playing at the moment I had my coastal city invaded, and now I find I'm rebuilding a load of stone heads in the 1930s in order to boost the productivity of my naval shipyard!
I'd probably really love them if they were a world wonder, but as a national wonder they just feel totally wrong.
