Etchmiadzin Cathedral - 22
Hassan Tower - 17
Hwangnyongsa - 21
Luxor Temple - 20
Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut - 21 (20 + 1) -- Most potential Egyptian wonders look more spectacular inside than out; this is not one of them.
Osaka Castle - 18
Royal Exhibition Building - 17
Royal Palace of Palenque - 21
Santuario de Las Lajas - 21
Seattle Space Needle - 11 (14 - 3) -- I love Seattle, but this is just a mediocre tourist trap IMO.
Serpent Mound - 21
St. Vitus Cathedral - 21
Westminster Abbey - 8 -- Such a shame to see it dropping so quickly, especially when Center Block and the Space Needle are still on this list...

 

[Kimiimaro]

ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter Array) - 5-3=2 - Doesn't exactly say "wonder" to me. Who will finish it?
Belem Tower - 22
Buddhas of Bamiyan - 24
Burj Khalifa - 21+1=22 - The tallest building in the world IS a worthy late game wonder.
Casa Rosada - 20

[RFormica]

ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter Array) - 2 - 3 = ELIMINATED Not really a wonder. And even if satellite dishes were considered wonders, there are better options.

Santuario de Las Lajas - 21
Seattle Space Needle - 11
Serpent Mound - 21 + 1 = 22 Better than Monk's Mound, and definitely better than the mound in Moundsville. As mounds go, I think it's great.
St. Vitus Cathedral - 21
Westminster Abbey - 8

 

[Xandinho]

Belem Tower - 22
Buddhas of Bamiyan - 24
Burj Khalifa - 22
Casa Rosada - 20
Castle of Good Hope - 17
Catedral de Brasília - 18 + 1 = 19 Modern architectural style cathedral that escapes from common descriptions of the church in the exterior appearance. Visually unique in the shape of a hyperboloid structure, this was designed by one of the greatest modernist architects of the last century: Oscar Niemeyer. While we already have the Sydney Opera House of modern style as a cultural building that escapes from the habitual descriptions of theater in drawing, it would be nice to have a church on this way as well. Makes a good modern wonder.

[Guandao]

Belem Tower - 22
Buddhas of Bamiyan - 25
Burj Khalifa - 22
Casa Rosada - 20-3=17 This is equivalent to being the Palace of an Argentinian Civ....I ignored it so far because I didn't realize what it was, but now that I know, it doesn't seem that wondrous.
Castle of Good Hope - 17
Catedral de Brasília - 19
Centre Block - 8
Duomo di Milano - 23
Etchmiadzin Cathedral - 22
Hassan Tower - 17
Hwangnyongsa - (21+1)=22 Possibly one of the best choices for a Korean wonder, it can replace the Porcelain Tower as the East Asian Pagoda wonder

[Morningcalm]

Belem Tower - 22
Buddhas of Bamiyan - 26 Including this one would be a nice middle finger to the Taliban (they blew the statues up)
Burj Khalifa - 22
Casa Rosada - 14
Castle of Good Hope - 17
Catedral de Brasília - 19
Centre Block - 2
Duomo di Milano - 23
Etchmiadzin Cathedral - 23
Hassan Tower - 17
Hwangnyongsa - 23 + 1 = 24 (The Dragon Temple was Korea's greatest wonder, completed by Queen Seondeok, featured as Korea's wonder in Age of Empires II: The Conquerors, this giant nine-story pagoda was the center of Korea's Buddhism during the time of Silla and the tallest wooden structure in East Asia when complete in 644 AD. It was apparently built entirely of interlocking wood, with no iron nails.)
Luxor Temple - 20
Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut - 21

Royal Palace of Palenque - 22
Santuario de Las Lajas - 21
Seattle Space Needle - 8
Serpent Mound - 22
St. Vitus Cathedral - 21
Westminster Abbey - 8 - 3 = 5 (Big giant yawn for this one. Yes, it's a pretty building, but it's also too similar to wonders already in the game.)

 

[Zaarin]

Big giant yawn for this one. Yes, it's a pretty building, but it's also too similar to wonders already in the game.

Which, exactly? Westminster Abbey wouldn't be my top choice for a Gothic cathedral (though I certainly wouldn't object to it--but I'd prefer Notre Dame de Reims or Chartres Cathedral given the choice), but at present the only Gothic structure in the game is the abbey of Mont St. Michel, which looks nothing like Westminster.

Burj Khalifa - 22
Casa Rosada - 14
Castle of Good Hope - 17
Catedral de Brasília - 19

Osaka Castle - 18
Royal Exhibition Building - 14
Royal Palace of Palenque - 22
Santuario de Las Lajas - 21
Seattle Space Needle - 5 (8 - 3) -- Someone please kill it before Westminster Abbey goes. To think an overrated tourist trap might outlast a cathedral is just insulting.
Serpent Mound - 23
St. Vitus Cathedral - 22 (21 + 1) -- Not my first choice for a Gothic cathedral, but not a bad one.
Westminster Abbey - 2 -- Seriously, I can think of a number of "wonders" on this list less worthy than Westminster Abbey. Why does everyone hate churches?

 

[conorbebe]

Belem Tower - 23 (22 +1) For the same reason as before, plus it would make for an interesting coastal Wonder.

Serpent Mound - 23
St. Vitus Cathedral - 22
Westminster Abbey - ELIMINATED (2 - 3) How about, because England already has 3 wonders and I can think of a few I'd rather over this.

 

[God of Kings]

The Centre Block's Peace Tower is partly inspired by the Elizabeth II Tower (which houses the Big Ben).
