Never before seen wonders - Elimination Thread

Al-Qarawiyyin Mosque and University 14
Cairo Citadel 20
Chrysler Building 24
Cliff Palace 23
Cothon of Carthage 6
Gyeongbokgung Palace 20 (23-3) still too much points
Karnak Temples 23 (22+1) one Egypt ww is too less
Palais des Papes 18
Santa Maria del Fiore 33
St. Mark's Basilica 21
Tomb of Antiochus I 26

 

[Guandao]

Al-Qarawiyyin Mosque and University 14
Cairo Citadel (20-3)=17 The most distinctive structure on this citadel dates from a era way after Saladin...
Chrysler Building 24
Cliff Palace (23+1)=24 Ancestral Puebloan cliff structure for the win! Onetime, someone told me he wasn't impressed by the remains left by the Puebloans even after visiting the region. In my head, I was screaming at him to look at the landscape and climate in which the Puebloans live. It's not a temperate land like England.

Al-Qarawiyyin Mosque and University 14
Cairo Citadel 17
Chrysler Building 24
Cliff Palace 24
Cothon of Carthage 6
Gyeongbokgung Palace 21 (20 + 1) -- I don't think the fact that East Asia builds primarily with wood and paper should be held against them in terms of wonders.
Karnak Temples 23
Palais des Papes 18
Santa Maria del Fiore 33
St. Mark's Basilica 18 (21 - 3) -- I'd rather see more Gothic cathedrals rather than another Byzantine basilica that doesn't compare well with the one already in game.

Al-Qarawiyyin Mosque and University 14
Cairo Citadel 17
Chrysler Building 24
Cliff Palace 24
Cothon of Carthage 6-3=3 - Would be better as a Unique District, and another Classical Era naval wonder is unnecessary right now. Who will give it the final strike?
Gyeongbokgung Palace 21
Karnak Temples 23
Palais des Papes 18
Santa Maria del Fiore 33
St. Mark's Basilica 18+1=19 - I cannot let this great structure fall. It's too wondrous to not survive much longer. Also, it has five domes. Five domes!

Al-Qarawiyyin Mosque and University 14
Cairo Citadel 17
Chrysler Building 24
Cliff Palace 24
Cothon of Carthage 3-3 ELIMINATED another one out of the way
Gyeongbokgung Palace 21
Karnak Temples 23
Palais des Papes 18
Santa Maria del Fiore 33
St. Mark's Basilica 19+1=20 @Zaarin I don't understand where the Byzantine story comes from but if you see it, it doesn't even look like a Byzantine church anymore it's more baroque on the outside and that's the only part you'll going to see in the game. besides, if you want a Gothic cathedral, Cologne's cathedral was one of the winners last round, we can't just have all the Gothic cathedrals in Europe as it becomes monotonous. This church started as a Byzantine church but then it became something on its own with a unique mixture of styles that it's found nowhere else in the world. I mean it's completely different from the Hagia Sophia.

Al-Qarawiyyin Mosque and University 14
Cairo Citadel 17
Chrysler Building 24
Cliff Palace 24
Gyeongbokgung Palace 21 + 1 = 22 Yes, we need Korean wonders. I do not know if this is the most impressive Korean structure, but while it is the only one on the list, I will vote for it.
Karnak Temples 23
Palais des Papes 18
Santa Maria del Fiore 33
St. Mark's Basilica 20 - 3 = 17 Venice already has a wonder, so I think wonders of other Italian cities must come before, this may wait in the queue. In addition, I do not see this a priority that compares to Gyeongbokgung, Karnak Temples, Cliff Palace and Cairo Citadel right now.

[Guandao]

Al-Qarawiyyin Mosque and University (14-3)=11 Reminiscent of Alhambra, but I prefer Sankore as a Muslim university wonder
Cairo Citadel 17
Chrysler Building 24
Cliff Palace (24+1)=25 Ancestral Puebloan cliff settlement, a good choice to represent the Puebloans in the game without pissing them off
Gyeongbokgung Palace 22
Karnak Temples 23
Palais des Papes 18
Santa Maria del Fiore 33
St. Mark's Basilica 17
Tomb of Antiochus I 26

 

[Manifold]

Al-Qarawiyyin Mosque and University 11
Cairo Citadel 14 (17-3) too close to Alhambra which is better
Chrysler Building 24
Cliff Palace 25
Gyeongbokgung Palace 22
Karnak Temples 24 (23+1) this is the last ww in this list
Palais des Papes 18
Santa Maria del Fiore 33
St. Mark's Basilica 17
Tomb of Antiochus I 26

 

[Zaarin]

@luigilime Be that as it may, I just don't find St. Mark's particularly impressive. It's pretty enough, but there are more wondrous cathedrals and basilicas to choose from.

Al-Qarawiyyin Mosque and University 11
Cairo Citadel 11 (14 - 3) -- It's pretty but doesn't strike me as particularly wondrous.
Chrysler Building 24
Cliff Palace 25
Gyeongbokgung Palace 22
Karnak Temples 24
Palais des Papes 19 (18 + 1) -- Non-ecclesiastical Gothic architecture is uncommon, and I think either this or Krak des Chevalier would be a great choice for a Gothic castle wonder--of the two, this is probably the more wondrous.
Santa Maria del Fiore 33
St. Mark's Basilica 17
Tomb of Antiochus I 26

 

[Kimiimaro]

Al-Qarawiyyin Mosque and University 11
Cairo Citadel 11-3=8 - I'm probably going to split my downvotes between this and the option above. I find them least wondrous from the rest.
Chrysler Building 24
Cliff Palace 25
Gyeongbokgung Palace 22
Karnak Temples 24
Palais des Papes 19
Santa Maria del Fiore 33
St. Mark's Basilica 17+1=18 - I'm going to support it until it falls. I find it very impressive and I was actually quite shocked when I found out that it wasn't in any Civ game.

Al-Qarawiyyin Mosque and University 11
Cairo Citadel 8
Chrysler Building 24
Cliff Palace 22 (25-3) Amazing but I don't think it is on par with the rest. Yes, it was build by very few people in a short amount of time in a non-moderate climate.
Gyeongbokgung Palace 22
Karnak Temples 24
Palais des Papes 20 (19+1) I haven't voted for that yet, but I think it would be a spectacular addition. It could also bring some interesting abilities once diplomacy is more fleshed out. And it's picturesque look would transfer nicely to the graphic style.

[luigilime]

Al-Qarawiyyin Mosque and University 11
Cairo Citadel 8
Chrysler Building 24-3=21 an interesting building but I don't see it as a wonder
Cliff Palace 22
Gyeongbokgung Palace 22
Karnak Temples 24
Palais des Papes 20
Santa Maria del Fiore 33
St. Mark's Basilica 18+1=19 I'm sorry but this building I think it's still more deserving than a few on this list so I can't let it fall now
Tomb of Antiochus I 26

 

[Xandinho]

Al-Qarawiyyin Mosque and University 11 - 3 = 8 It's not something that I care to see in the game right now, and that does not looks me as impressive on the map.
Cairo Citadel 8 I'm sad to see it falling so fast. if I give it a few sighs would not avoid being the next to fall. This is an Arab wonder built by a leader who is already in the game, worthy enough for me.
Chrysler Building 21
Cliff Palace 22
Gyeongbokgung Palace 22
Karnak Temples 24
Palais des Papes 20 + 1 = 21 This building is definitely worthy of being in the game. There are enough elements to think of a religious/diplomatic wonder.
Santa Maria del Fiore 33
St. Mark's Basilica 19
Tomb of Antiochus I 26

 

[Guandao]

Al-Qarawiyyin Mosque and University (8-3)=5 Doesn't stand out to me, it's similar in design to Alhambra
Cairo Citadel 8 Maybe it's falling because the Main Mosque there was built way after Saladin was alive?
Chrysler Building 21
Cliff Palace (22+1)=23 North Amerindians will have no wonders representing them in the game, if people continue to compare their man-made wonders with the Greco-Romano-centric view of a wonder. It's more striking and distinctive to me than many of the existing ones.

Al-Qarawiyyin Mosque and University 5
Cairo Citadel 8
Chrysler Building 18 (21-3) for a skyscraper the accurate ww is the Empire State Building no other
Cliff Palace 23
Gyeongbokgung Palace 22
Karnak Temples 25 (24+1) see above

[Zaarin]

Al-Qarawiyyin Mosque and University 5
Cairo Citadel 5 (8 - 3) -- Not all that interesting.
Chrysler Building 19 (18 + 1) -- Nonsense. While both the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building are fine exemplars of Art Deco, the Chrysler Building is by far the more attractive of the two. The Empire State Building looks rather like it's made of LEGO blocks.

Al-Qarawiyyin Mosque and University 5-3=2 - I said that I will split my votes between this and Cairo Citadel.

Al-Qarawiyyin Mosque and University 2
Cairo Citadel 5
Chrysler Building 19
Cliff Palace 23
Gyeongbokgung Palace 22
Karnak Temples 26 (25+1) Home of one of the greatest treasures: the white chapel of Senusret I. And there are some other things there as well.
Palais des Papes 21
Santa Maria del Fiore 33
St. Mark's Basilica 17 (20-3) I think when it comes to churches, there is an abundance of choices. And there isn't much that sets this one so much apart in my opinion.

Al-Qarawiyyin Mosque and University 2
Cairo Citadel 5
Chrysler Building 19
Cliff Palace 23 + 1 = 24 I'm not a big fan of Amerindian civs in North America, but I want wonders that cover as many cultures and places as possible. So, we really need at least one wonder of the Native Americans.
Gyeongbokgung Palace 22
Karnak Temples 26
Palais des Papes 21
Santa Maria del Fiore 33
St. Mark's Basilica 17 - 3 = 14 Lowering this, another Venetian wonder is not such a high priority now for me
Tomb of Antiochus I 26

 

[RFormica]

Al-Qarawiyyin Mosque and University 2
Cairo Citadel 5 - 3 = 2 Not very impressive, and there are much better Middle-Eastern/Christian buildings out there.
Chrysler Building 19 + 1 = 20 Not only is it great architecture, it is a stunning building and I feel that Civilization needs more late-game wonders.
