Never before seen wonders II - Elimination Thread

[Guandao]

Burg Hohenzollern - 13
Château Frontenac - (21+1)=22 I think it's the best choice for a Canadian wonder. It's also not a religious wonder, so hurray for diversity?
Dhammayangyi Temple - 24
Etemenanki - 24
Humayun's Tomb - (18-3)=15 Since Taj Mahal isn't in the game yet, I prefer if Firaxis adds that over this tomb.
Krak des Chevaliers - 27
Naqsh-e Rustam - 25
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 21
Palácio de Pena - 12 What other Portuguese wonders are better than this? Most of them are probably religious in nature.
Prambanan - 17
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 24
Swayambhunath - 17
Temple of Heaven - 22

What other Portuguese wonders are better than this? Most of them are probably religious in nature.

Not very sure, because I don't know much about Portuguese wonders. But, if you need a non-religious wonder for Portugal, I definitely prefer the Belem Tower from the past round.

Belem Tower is probably one of the most famous of Portuguese buildings, but people downvoted it a lot during that round.
Can anyone think of a good Dutch wonder? None comes to my mind. Maybe because the Dutch cared little about that and focused on trade.

Well, there are some more wonders in the list of "seven wonders of Portugal". I guess some more can be used from it...

Can anyone think of a good Dutch wonder? None comes to my mind. Maybe because the Dutch cared little about that and focused on trade.

I remember that there were Delta Works in the first round. I also remember someone proposing Rijksmuseum from Amsterdam.

Can anyone think of a good Dutch wonder? None comes to my mind. Maybe because the Dutch cared little about that and focused on trade.

My pick would be the Oost-Indisch Huis, main seat of the VOC. Abilities come easily. And it's more impressive and important than the West-Indisch Huis. (The VOC is actually way too important to be left out imho). Both are obviously trade wonders.
Rotterdam Markthal is one of the most unique (and nicest) modern buildings, but too new for civ.
The Rijksmuseum is also a nice pick.
There are so many nice old buildings in the Netherlands, but I don't think many would fit civ VI.

Burg Hohenzollern - 13
Château Frontenac - 22
Dhammayangyi Temple - 24
Etemenanki - 21 (24-3) I really don't get the fascination for this one. Yes, tower of Babylon and all... But there are more iconic (and better known) Ziggurats in my opinion - like in Ur and the Anu Ziggurat.
Humayun's Tomb - 15
Krak des Chevaliers - 27
Naqsh-e Rustam - 25
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 21
Palácio de Pena - 12
Prambanan - 17
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 24
Swayambhunath - 18 (17+1) I disagree that there are many better Nepali wonders. I think this would be nicer to have than Boudhanath. It is indeed smaller, but has a more interesting legend behind it and is one of the places to feature larger places of worship for both Buddhists and Hindus. It's also located much nicer on a hill with many steps leading up through huge Bodhi trees.
Temple of Heaven - 22

@Guandao, @Kimiimaro

I know some Portuguese wonders, so maybe I can help. I think Palácio de Pena is the best example for a Portuguese wonder in the game, but I think we can find some other Portuguese wonders that are not religious like the Castelo de Óbidos, Castelo de Guimarães and the Torre de Belém that was in the round past, in addition to the Fortaleza de Diu, which is one of the most important Portuguese fortified structures in India. And among the possible Portuguese wonders of the religious type, there is the Mosteiro da Batalha, Mosteiro de Alcobaça and the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, and in its colonies there is the Igreja e Convento de São Francisco in the historical center of Salvador in Brazil, which is probably one of the oldest churches of the Americas, although it was destroyed by Dutch invasions and rebuilt later with all its interior decorated with probably tons of gold, and there is also the singular Basilica of Bom Jesus in India, a Mannerist architectural style. The fact is that I think it is not difficult to find Portuguese wonders, after all, the Portuguese Empire left a strong architectural legacy.

 

[Zaarin]

Burg Hohenzollern - 13
Château Frontenac - 22
Dhammayangyi Temple - 24
Etemenanki - 21
Humayun's Tomb - 15
Krak des Chevaliers - 27
Naqsh-e Rustam - 25
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 21
Palácio de Pena - 12
Prambanan - 17
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 21 (24 - 3) -- A very interesting structure, but there are other wonders on this list I'd rather see.
Swayambhunath - 18
Temple of Heaven - 23 (22 + 1) -- Like this one.

 

[Xandinho]

Burg Hohenzollern - 13
Château Frontenac - 22
Dhammayangyi Temple - 24
Etemenanki - 21
Humayun's Tomb - 15
Krak des Chevaliers - 27
Naqsh-e Rustam - 25 + 1 = 26 Again, this is very distinct, and I think we need a wonder that represents Zoroastrianism.
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 21
Palácio de Pena - 12
Prambanan - 17 - 3 = 14 It seems visually similar to Angkor Wat, even without the walls. Borobudur is much more distinct and iconic.
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 21
Swayambhunath - 18
Temple of Heaven - 23

 

[Kimiimaro]

Burg Hohenzollern - 13+1=14 - Definitely doesn't deserve to go so soon.
Château Frontenac - 22
Dhammayangyi Temple - 24
Etemenanki - 21
Humayun's Tomb - 15
Krak des Chevaliers - 27
Naqsh-e Rustam - 26
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 21
Palácio de Pena - 12-3=9 - I like other wonders on this list more.
Prambanan - 14
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 21
Swayambhunath - 18
Temple of Heaven - 23

 

[Guandao]

Burg Hohenzollern -14
Château Frontenac - 22
Dhammayangyi Temple - 24
Etemenanki - 21
Humayun's Tomb - (15-3)=12 Taj Mahal is better than this
Krak des Chevaliers - 27
Naqsh-e Rustam - 26
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 21
Palácio de Pena -9
Prambanan - (14+1)=15 I'm too big a fan of SE Asian wonders to let this go down without a fight.
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 21
Swayambhunath - 18
Temple of Heaven - 23

 

[Xandinho]

Burg Hohenzollern -14
Château Frontenac - 22
Dhammayangyi Temple - 24
Etemenanki - 21
Humayun's Tomb - 12
Krak des Chevaliers - 27
Naqsh-e Rustam - 26 + 1 = 27 This deserves to be among the leaders
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 21
Palácio de Pena - 9
Prambanan - 15
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 21
Swayambhunath - 18
Temple of Heaven - 23 - 3 = 20 If I were to choose another Chinese wonder, I would certainly choose this one. But I'd rather fill places not represented before.

 

[Kimiimaro]

Burg Hohenzollern - 14+1=15 - Deserves more points.
Château Frontenac - 22
Dhammayangyi Temple - 24
Etemenanki - 21
Humayun's Tomb - 12
Krak des Chevaliers - 27
Naqsh-e Rustam - 27
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 21
Palácio de Pena - 9-3=6 - Let's just say that I like Belem Tower from the past round more for Portuguese wonder. If we need a fancy hill castle, I prefer Neuschwanstein or Burg Hohenzollern.
Prambanan - 15
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 21
Swayambhunath - 18
Temple of Heaven - 20

 

[Guandao]

Burg Hohenzollern - 15
Château Frontenac - 22
Dhammayangyi Temple - 24
Etemenanki - 21
Humayun's Tomb - (12-3)=9 Taj Mahal is superior as the Mughal mausoleum wonder
Krak des Chevaliers - 27
Naqsh-e Rustam - 27
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 21
Palácio de Pena - 6
Prambanan - 15
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 21
Swayambhunath - 18
Temple of Heaven - (20+1)=21 Putting two wonders from Beijing in the game isn't too much for me (since we have two from Alexandria). It's distinctive and world famous.

 

[conorbebe]

Burg Hohenzollern - 15
Château Frontenac - 22
Dhammayangyi Temple - 24
Etemenanki - 21
Humayun's Tomb - 10 (9 + 1) Why not both?
Krak des Chevaliers - 27
Naqsh-e Rustam - 24 (27 - 3) Some holes in a cliff.
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 21
Palácio de Pena - 6
Prambanan - 15
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 21
Swayambhunath - 18
Temple of Heaven - 21

 

[Siptah]

Burg Hohenzollern - 15
Château Frontenac - 22
Dhammayangyi Temple - 24
Etemenanki - 21
Humayun's Tomb - 9
Krak des Chevaliers - 27
Naqsh-e Rustam - 24
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 21
Palácio de Pena - 6
Prambanan - 15
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 18 (21-3) If we get a Berber or Numidia civ, I'd prefer them to come with a natural wonder. And if we ever get Algeria for some reason, it should come with a modern diplomacy wonder. So I don't see where this gets in, especially since nice mausoleums are easy to find more or less everywhere in the world.
Swayambhunath - 18
Temple of Heaven - 22 (21+1) It's one of only two major sites in Beijing that were not completely destroyed in the 20th century. It was lucky that a single person intervened in the last minute to keep it intact. So why not have both old structures that Beijing offers? (well, actually this one isn't old, but its predecessor is)

 

[Xandinho]

Burg Hohenzollern - 15
Château Frontenac - 22 + 1 = 23 It would be impressive on the map.
Dhammayangyi Temple - 24
Etemenanki - 21
Humayun's Tomb - 10 Corrected
Krak des Chevaliers - 27
Naqsh-e Rustam - 24
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 21
Palácio de Pena - 6
Prambanan - 15 - 3 = 12 It is visually similar to Angkor Wat, and I prefer Borobudur. And this would be another religious wonder, just as Borobudur and Angkor Wat will probably be.
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 18
Swayambhunath - 18
Temple of Heaven - 22

 

[Kimiimaro]

Burg Hohenzollern - 15
Château Frontenac - 23
Dhammayangyi Temple - 24
Etemenanki - 21+1=22 - A giant Ziggurat that was probably the inspiration to Tower of Babel. Also, a Ziggurat wonder would be nice.
Humayun's Tomb - 10
Krak des Chevaliers - 27
Naqsh-e Rustam - 24
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 21
Palácio de Pena - 6-3=3 - If we need a fancy hill castle, Neushwanstein or Burg Hohenzollern could be better. And about a wonder Portugal, I like Belem Tower more.
Prambanan - 12
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 18
Swayambhunath - 18
Temple of Heaven - 22

 

[Guandao]

Burg Hohenzollern - 15
Château Frontenac - 23
Dhammayangyi Temple - 24
Etemenanki - 22
Humayun's Tomb - 10
Krak des Chevaliers - 27
Naqsh-e Rustam - (24+1)=25 Holes in the cliff is not an adequate description of this place. Petra is another wonder cut in the wall, and it's in the game already. This site is very significant as the burial place of the Achaemenid Kings.
Palacio de Bellas Artes - (21-3)=18 Cultural wonder it may be, but I'm not keen on seeing it in the game. Does Mexico need a wonder in Civ6?
Palácio de Pena - 3
Prambanan - 12
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 18
Swayambhunath - 18
Temple of Heaven - 22

Is Crusader Castle really the best wonder here?

 

[Morningcalm]

Burg Hohenzollern - 15
Château Frontenac - 23
Dhammayangyi Temple - 24
Etemenanki - 22
Humayun's Tomb - 10
Krak des Chevaliers - 27
Naqsh-e Rustam - 25 - 3 = 22 (Looks too much like Petra IMO. While it has its merits, the risk of being duplicative and thereby less unique visually is something that causes me to strike this one down this time.)
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 18
Palácio de Pena - 3
Prambanan - 12
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 18
Swayambhunath - 18
Temple of Heaven - 22 + 1 = 23 (Should be higher, as a national icon and with potential for unique wonder abilities--historically emperors would pray at the Temple of Heaven for a good harvest; if a good harvest did not arrive, that was a sign of disfavor. It could mimic China's civ ability to some extent as a representative of dynastic cycles/the Mandate of Heaven.)

 

[God of Kings]

Burg Hohenzollern - 15
Château Frontenac - 23 + 1 = 24 There's no purpose-built hotel wonders yet
Dhammayangyi Temple - 24
Etemenanki - 22
Humayun's Tomb - 10
Krak des Chevaliers - 27
Naqsh-e Rustam - 22
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 18
Palácio de Pena - 3 - 3 = ELIMINATED There's better hill castles
Prambanan - 12
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 18
Swayambhunath - 18
Temple of Heaven - 23

Château Frontenac isn't a hill castle and neither is Toronto's Casa Loma, despite both resembling hill castles.
