Never before seen natural wonders - Elimination Thread

[RFormica]

Question: Will you actually be making the winning wonders?

 

[Kimiimaro]

Blue Caves (Greece) - 22
Cueva de los Cristales - 4-3=1 - Nice, but invisible. Should go before Serengeti. Who will give it the final blow?
Danxia - 23
Delicate Arch 19
Erta Ale - 23
Great Blue Hole - 21
Guilin Mountains - 17
Iguaçu Falls - 26
Isle of Skye - 17
Kīlauea - 22
Lake Baikal - 23
Lambert Glacier - 20
Lençóis Maranhenses - 23
Macocha Gorge - 17+1=18 - This place has a special meaning to me. It's a wonder from Czech Republic, and I'm proud on it as a part of our beautiful nature. Also, it's a giant deep hole in the earth.
Salar de Uyuni - 22
Serengeti - 3
Underwater Waterfall - 23
White Desert (Egypt) - 22

 

[RFormica]

Blue Caves (Greece) - 22
Cueva de los Cristales - 1 -3 = ELIMINATION There is no way that this could work. It can only be accessed through a small mine shaft. It could be a wonder if it had an obvious maw, but it doesn't.
Danxia - 23
Delicate Arch 19
Erta Ale - 23
Great Blue Hole - 21
Guilin Mountains - 17
Iguaçu Falls - 26
Isle of Skye - 17
Kīlauea - 22
Lake Baikal - 23 + 1 = 24. Deepest lake in the world. Contains 20% of the world's drinkable water, despite being only 12,248 mi2.(In comparison, Lake Superior has 10% and is 31,700 mi2.) It is surrounded by mountains and pine forests. What wouldn't make this the perfect Civ6 wonder?
Lambert Glacier - 20
Lençóis Maranhenses - 23
Macocha Gorge - 18
Salar de Uyuni - 22
Serengeti - 3
Underwater Waterfall - 23
White Desert (Egypt) - 22

 

[RFormica]

Hey, before I forget, for next round you should do Bryce Canyon, the Badlands in South Dakota, the San Juan Goosenecks, Mt. Washington, Mount Desert Island, Sleeping Bear Dunes, any of the Great Lakes, the Outer Banks, the Everglades, or Allegheny Nat. Forest.

 

[Siptah]

Blue Caves (Greece) - 22
Danxia - 23
Delicate Arch 16 (19-3) wouldn't look good on the map, also it's one of the 'empty' wonders that have no deeper meaning besides their look or a religious significance. Not that this would be disqualifying, but I like a 'backstory'.
Erta Ale - 23
Great Blue Hole - 21
Guilin Mountains - 17
Iguaçu Falls - 26
Isle of Skye - 17
Kīlauea - 22
Lake Baikal - 24
Lambert Glacier - 20
Lençóis Maranhenses - 23
Macocha Gorge - 18
Salar de Uyuni - 22
Serengeti - 3
Underwater Waterfall - 23
White Desert (Egypt) - 23 (22+1) would look nice and amazing place

@RFormica 3rd round will start next year after the expansion is out

 

[RFormica]

Oh...

 

[Xandinho]

Blue Caves (Greece) - 22
Danxia - 23
Delicate Arch 16 - 3 = 13 I agree that this would not look incredible on the map
Erta Ale - 23
Great Blue Hole - 21
Guilin Mountains - 17
Iguaçu Falls - 26
Isle of Skye - 17
Kīlauea - 22
Lake Baikal - 24
Lambert Glacier - 20
Lençóis Maranhenses - 23 + 1 = 24 A large conglomeration of dunes and lakes, it seems incredible on the map.
Macocha Gorge - 18
Salar de Uyuni - 22
Serengeti - 3
Underwater Waterfall - 23
White Desert (Egypt) - 23

 

[Guandao]

Blue Caves (Greece) - 22
Danxia - 23
Delicate Arch 13
Erta Ale - 23
Great Blue Hole - 21
Guilin Mountains - (17+1)=18 Too important in the history of Chinese art to get eliminated so soon.
Iguaçu Falls - 26
Isle of Skye - 17
Kīlauea - 22
Lake Baikal - 24
Lambert Glacier - 20
Lençóis Maranhenses - 24
Macocha Gorge - 18
Salar de Uyuni - 22
Serengeti - 3-3=0 I think the Serengeti should take its bow out now. It's more famous for animal migrations than its own natural beauty.
Underwater Waterfall - 23
White Desert (Egypt) - 23

 

[Amrunril]

Ironically, I was prevented from saving the grassland natural wonder by an internet outage at a grassland research station. I realize the Serengeti had issues with scale and depiction, but grasslands really are impressive landscapes, and I hope they'll eventually get some sort of representation beyond being a blank absence of features or value.

Blue Caves (Greece) - 22
Danxia - 23
Delicate Arch 14 (13 + 1) I'd say Arches generally instead of Delicate Arch specifically because of scale concerns, but I don't want to get too bogged down in nomenclature issues, and Arches is a distinctive landscape that would translate well to a civ map.
Erta Ale - 23
Great Blue Hole - 21
Guilin Mountains - 18
Iguaçu Falls - 26
Isle of Skye - 17
Kīlauea - 22
Lake Baikal - 24
Lambert Glacier - 17 (20 - 3) As I argued in the first round, I don't think adding features to the poles is a good idea. While these regions could theoretically be made quite interesting, getting their role right would require a shift from cylindrical to spherical maps, and that simply isn't happening in an expansion or DLC.
Lençóis Maranhenses - 24
Macocha Gorge - 18
Salar de Uyuni - 22
Underwater Waterfall - 23
White Desert (Egypt) - 23

 

[Kimiimaro]

Blue Caves (Greece) - 22
Danxia - 23
Delicate Arch 14
Erta Ale - 23
Great Blue Hole - 21
Guilin Mountains - 18
Iguaçu Falls - 26
Isle of Skye - 17
Kīlauea - 22+1=23 - I'd like both Kīlauea and Erta Ale on the same level. Same level means same amount of points.
Lake Baikal - 24
Lambert Glacier - 17-3=14 - I agree. Glacier just isn't the best wonder to choose.
Lençóis Maranhenses - 24
Macocha Gorge - 18
Salar de Uyuni - 22
Underwater Waterfall - 23
White Desert (Egypt) - 23

 

[RFormica]

Blue Caves (Greece) - 22 - 3 = 19 This is a great option for a new wonder, but not as great as the others. Have to downvote something...
Danxia - 23 + 1 = 24 Great, stunning rainbow of rock. Definitely the best "rainbow" terrain, and it would look absolutely wonderful in Civ6 art style.
Delicate Arch 14
Erta Ale - 23
Great Blue Hole - 21
Guilin Mountains - 18
Iguaçu Falls - 26
Isle of Skye - 17
Kīlauea - 23

[Xandinho]

Blue Caves (Greece) - 19
Danxia - 24
Delicate Arch 14 - 3 = 11 I'm not very impressed
Erta Ale - 23
Great Blue Hole - 21
Guilin Mountains - 18
Iguaçu Falls - 26 + 1 = 27 One of the most beautiful landscapes in the world. This is kind of a wonder you ask: Why hasn't this been included in the game yet?
Isle of Skye - 17
Kīlauea - 23
Lake Baikal - 24
Lambert Glacier - 14
Lençóis Maranhenses - 24

[Guandao]

Blue Caves (Greece) - 19
Danxia - 24
Delicate Arch 11
Erta Ale - 23
Great Blue Hole - 21
Guilin Mountains - (18+1)=19 I think it's too important in the history of Chinese art to leave this early.
Iguaçu Falls - 27
Isle of Skye - (17-3)=14 Nothing in particular about this Scottish Island stands out to me. How many tiles would we need to accurate portray its shape?
Kīlauea - 23
Lake Baikal - 24
Lambert Glacier - 14
Lençóis Maranhenses - 24
Macocha Gorge - 18
Salar de Uyuni - 22
Underwater Waterfall - 23
White Desert (Egypt) - 23

 

[Amrunril]

Blue Caves (Greece) - 19
Danxia - 24
Delicate Arch 11
Erta Ale - 23
Great Blue Hole - 21
Guilin Mountains - 16 (19 - 3) Mountains need to clear a pretty high bar, since they're the most common natural wonder type, and I'm not convinced this is distinctive enough to do so.
Iguaçu Falls - 28 (27 + 1) On the other hand the game doesn't have any waterfalls yet, and this one seems like a good choice.
Isle of Skye - 14
Kīlauea - 23
Lake Baikal - 24
Lambert Glacier - 14
Lençóis Maranhenses - 24
Macocha Gorge - 18
Salar de Uyuni - 22
Underwater Waterfall - 23
White Desert (Egypt) - 23

 

[Kimiimaro]

Blue Caves (Greece) - 19
Danxia - 24
Delicate Arch 11
Erta Ale - 23
Great Blue Hole - 21
Guilin Mountains - 16
Iguaçu Falls - 28-3=25 - Wait a minute. Falls have to be connected to river, they have to fall from a higher place to a lower place, and the river has to continue from them. This really is a natural wonder, but I'm not sure how would Firaxis implement it.
Isle of Skye - 14
Kīlauea - 23
Lake Baikal - 24
Lambert Glacier - 14
Lençóis Maranhenses - 24+1=25 - Incredibly interresting multi tile wonder. Also, I'm sure that it would look great in Civ VI's cartoony style of graphics.
Macocha Gorge - 18
Salar de Uyuni - 22
Underwater Waterfall - 23
White Desert (Egypt) - 23

Iguaçu Falls - 25 + 1 = 26 Great, stunning wonder that would be on the four tiles surrounding a river as it flows out of a mountain. <-@Kimiimaro
Isle of Skye - 14
Kīlauea - 23
Lake Baikal - 24
Lambert Glacier - 14
Lençóis Maranhenses - 25
Macocha Gorge - 18 - 3 = 15 Have to downvote something. A great wonder, but it is probably about as impressive as the Blue Caves, which is not as much as the others on the list.

Erta Ale - 23
Great Blue Hole - 21
Guilin Mountains - 16
Iguaçu Falls - 26 + 1 = 27 This can be put on the map in one or two tiles on the map where water is dumped in a fall, no problem.
Isle of Skye - 14

Lençóis Maranhenses - 25
Macocha Gorge - 15
Salar de Uyuni - 22
Underwater Waterfall - 23+1=24 One of the most unique looking places in the sea.

[Guandao]

Blue Caves (Greece) - 19
Danxia - 24
Delicate Arch 11
Erta Ale - 23
Great Blue Hole - 21
Guilin Mountains - (16+1)=17 Places like Guilin have a lot of history and significance to a culture. That trumps appearance in my opinion. Many of the others in the list may look pretty, but lack the history and lore behind them. Plus these are Karst formations, not your typical Alps style mountains.
Iguaçu Falls - 27
Isle of Skye - 14
Kīlauea - 23
Lake Baikal - 24
Lambert Glacier - (8-3)=5 If I had to pick a glacier for Civ6, it would be something in the Alps, or Los Glaciares in Argentina.
