Never before seen wonders II - Elimination Thread

[Xandinho]

Duomo di Milano - 7 - 3 = 4 The other wonders on the list are more interesting to me
Etchmiadzin Cathedral - 5 + 1 = 6 Must survive until Duomo di Milano fall
Hwangnyongsa - 17
Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut - 10

 

[RFormica]

Duomo di Milano - 4
Etchmiadzin Cathedral - 6 -- 3 = 3 Not that great
Hwangnyongsa - 17
Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut - 10 + 1 = 11 The best option.

 

[Zaarin]

Duomo di Milano - 1 (4 - 3) -- As above...
Etchmiadzin Cathedral - 4 (3 + 1) -- ...so below.
Hwangnyongsa - 17
Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut - 11

 

[conorbebe]

Duomo di Milano - ELIMINATED (1 - 3)
Etchmiadzin Cathedral - 5 (4 + 1) What can I say? It's a really interesting and unique-looking cathedral, is a Wonder from a region not well-represented in the game, AND it's the oldest cathedral in the world.
Hwangnyongsa - 17
Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut - 11

 

[Guatenadian]

Etchmiadzin Cathedral - 6 (5+1) Cool Armenian wonder.
Hwangnyongsa - 17
Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut - 8 (11-3) Not of much interest to me.

 

[luigilime]

Etchmiadzin Cathedral - 6-3=3 not that interesting
Hwangnyongsa - 17
Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut - 8+1=9 more Egyptian wonders

 

[RFormica]

Etchmiadzin Cathedral - 3
Hwangnyongsa - 17 - 3 = 14 I'll let someone else take care of Etchmiadzin
Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut - 9 + 10 = 10 Only one "real" Egyptian wonder: the Pyramids; as the Great Lighthouse and Library are not really Egyptian.

 

[Kimiimaro]

Etchmiadzin Cathedral - 3+1=4 - Stay with us!
Hwangnyongsa - 14
Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut - 10-3=7 - Second Egyptian wonder is less needed compared to Korean or Caucasian wonder.

 

[Siptah]

Etchmiadzin Cathedral - 5 (4+1) the most valuable wonder of the three for me personally.
Hwangnyongsa - 11 (14-3) If you want a pagoda, choose a nepalese one and not the copies from Korea or China that got a life of their own that lost quite some appeal. They are higher, yes and more famous maybe. But more beautiful or wondrous? No.
Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut - 7

 

[Guandao]

Etchmiadzin Cathedral - (5+1)=6 It represents an ignored region and is distinctive enough from the typical European cathedral.
Hwangnyongsa - 11
Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut - (7-3)=4 Third place is good for it, only reason I'm downvoting it is because ancient Egypt is represented by at least one wonder, while Caucasus and Korea aren't.

 

[Morningcalm]

Etchmiadzin Cathedral - 6 - 3 = 3 (Not impressive enough to be a world wonder. Its status as an old cathedral is not reason enough to overlook its unremarkable appearance and size. Truly, this is the Brandenburg Gate of the remaining options.
Hwangnyongsa - 11
Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut - 4 + 1 = 5 Far more world wonder worthy than the abbey-like and rather unimpressive cathedral people keep propping up for its age.

 

[Xandinho]

Etchmiadzin Cathedral - 3
Hwangnyongsa - 11 + 1 = 12 It's the wonder that I want to see win.
Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut - 5 - 3 = 2 I am really making difficult choices, but I have to use an obvious argument at this point: I am eliminating a wonder from a region that is already represented in the game with a wonder.

Soon, we will be opening suggestions for a fourth round

 

[Zaarin]

Etchmiadzin Cathedral - 4 (3 + 1) -- *sigh* Second place it will have to be, but I'm still making people work for it.
Hwangnyongsa - 12
Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut - ELIMINATED -- I hate to eliminate it as I really want to see it in game, but I prefer the other two.

May I propose Naqshe-e Rustam for the next round?

 

[Guatenadian]

Etchmiadzin Cathedral - 1 (4-3) I really wanted it to work but second place is pretty damn great for "just a regular cathedral".
Hwangnyongsa - 13 (12+1) Time for Korea to take the spotlight for a bit.

Hwangnyongsa has pretty much won, but we all know the real winner was the Serpent Mound.

 

[God of Kings]

Let me finish this round:

The wooden Korean wonder that no longer exists wins with 14 points!

I consider Serpent Mound the real winner if we exclude strong personal biases.

 

[Kimiimaro]

Hwangnyongsa has pretty much won, but we all know the real winner was the Serpent Mound.

Not me


However, here are my suggestions:

Arc de Triomphe (Paris, France)
Castel del Monte (Italy)
Castel Sant'Angelo/Mausoleum of Hadrian (Rome, Italy)
Château Frontenac (Quebec, Canada)
Etemenanki/Tower of Babel (Iraq)
Galata Tower (Istanbul, Turkey)
Grand Bazaar (Istanbul, Turkey)
Ještěd Tower (Czech Republic)
Lotus Temple (Delhi, India)
Národní Divadlo/National Theatre (Prague, Czech Republic)
Pilgrimage Church of Saint John of Nepomuk (Czech Republic)
Pont du Gard (France)
St. Barbara's Church (Kutná Hora, Czech Republic)

Also, some Las Vegas Casino would be interesting - I propose the Sands. I know it doesn't exist anymore, but it was quite famous (for Frank Sinatra, for example).

[Kimiimaro]

Shwedagon pagoda (Myanmar)

I don't want to disappoint you, but Shwedagon Paya was used in Civ IV. Also, both Saksaq Waman and Abu Simbel appeared in the first round of the first unseen wonders elimination thread.

 

[Morningcalm]

The Pont du Gard in France, while impressive, was just a large aqueduct, so I would avoid that one in particular. I see it as more an impressive unique improvement than a world wonder as such. (And I've been there in person)

Oh whoops forgot about that
