Never before seen wonders II - Elimination Thread

[RFormica]

-Sungynyemen
-St, Basil's Cathedral ---I know that the model for this was used in Civ5, but it was called the Kremlin, so I'm not sure if that counts
-Rockefeller Center (I believe that, after visiting all three, this is just as impressive as Chrysler and Empire, and it could have some kind of cultural bonus.) (And it has the best view of NYC, unequivocally, too.)
-The inclines, Pittsburgh (A bit of bias... probably more than a bit. But if Ruhr Valley can make the cut, then this definitely can.)
-Trajan's Forum
-Hoover Dam
-Panama Canal (Easy bonus; build it on land and your units can pass through!)
-Inca Salt Pans
-Citadelle Laferriere

 

[Kimiimaro]

-Hoover Dam

Hoover Dam was in Civ I, Civ II and Civ III

 

[RFormica]

OK then, never mind!

(As I've said in a different thread, I'm really only familiar with Civ6)

Casa de Contratación
This building in Seville could give great bonuses towards exploration or oversea territories.

Burg Hohenzollern
A first rate castle wonder, that could give military and diplomatic bonuses.

Swayambunath
This Nepalese Temple is one of the best examples for more than one religion in the same place. Located on a rain forest hill, stupas and pagodas would look nice in civ vi art style.

Forum Traiani
Probably Rome's nicest ancient remains and today were an impressive structure ones. It could offer many bonuses.

Bayt al Hikma
As often, the design has some speculation in it. But it would be a prime science wonder.

Theatre of Pergamon
Cultural and Entertainment wonder. Located on a steep hill, its size is huge.

Tsaparang
One of the best architectural symbiosis between nature and man made structures like temples, houses, caves and a palace on top. One of the most amazing places I've ever encountered. Features Tibet's nicest wall paintings as well.

I hope it won't be a religious wonder race again in the end....

 

[Kimiimaro]

I hope it won't be a religious wonder race again in the end....

Considering that winners of all three rounds (Churches of Lalibela, Santa Maria del Fiore and Hwangnyongsa) are religious wonder, then yeah, some wonder that isn't another religious wonder would be nice to win.

However, @Xandinho, can we know when the fourth round will be opened?

 

[God of Kings]

Rockefeller Center consists of 30 Rock (yes, the show starring Tina Fey takes place there and is also home to the Top of the Rock attraction), an underground concourse, a subway station, and Nintendo New York. Oh, and many television studios as well.

I have visited there last year.

 

[Xandinho]

Sorry for being late

1. Hwangnyongsa
2. Etchmiadzin Cathedral
3. Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut
4. Duomo di Milano
5. Serpent Mound
6. Royal Palace of Palenque
7. Buddhas of Bamiyan
8. Luxor Temple
9. Osaka Castle
10. Santuario de Las Lajas
11. Burj Khalifa
12. St. Vitus Cathedral
13. Belem Tower
14. Catedral de Brasília
15. Hassan Tower
16. Royal Exhibition Building
17. Castle of Good Hope
18. Casa Rosada
19. Seattle Space Needle
20. Westminster Abbey
21. Centre Block
22. ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter Array)

@Kimiimaro I'll be reviewing the suggestions and starting the fourth round soon.

 

[RFormica]

More:
-Sears/Willis Tower
-Lincoln Memorial
-Jefferson Monument
-Teotihuacan Pyramid
-Bagan Temples and Padogas
-Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa

 

[Zaarin]

Just in case my suggestion got lost amid the voting, I'll repeat my suggestion of Naqsh-e Rustam, the great Achaemenid necropolis. Also, because no round would be complete without a Gothic cathedral, how about Chartres Cathedral, widely regarded as the pinnacle of French Gothic? Also Krak des Chevaliers would make a nice Medieval castle wonder.

 

[RFormica]

How about the rest of Petra? (The city with the temple, NOT just the one building... Nabatea has better to offer than one building!)

 

[Xandinho]

Then we will have 25 wonders this time, reason: there have been many good suggestions that it was difficult to leave some out. Then we have 4 wonders from every continent (Asia, Europe, Africa, North America and South America) + 1 wonder from Oceania and + 4 interesting wonders from anywhere. This will be a long and difficult match. I hope you like the list.

[Kimiimaro]

It so strange to propose something in English and see that it appeared in this list in my language

Arc de Triomphe - 20
Burg Hohenzollern - 20
Catedral Primada de Bogota - 20
Chateau Frontenac - 20
Chrám Sv. Barbory - 20
Citadel of Qaitbay - 20
Colossi of Memnon - 20
Dhammayangyi Temple - 20
Dunedin Railway Station - 20
Etemenanki - 20+1=21 - It is argued that this giant Zikkurat was inspiration to the biblical tower of Babel. Also, it could be a very nice Mesopotamian wonder.
Fasil Ghebbi - 20
Humayun's Tomb - 20
Iglesia de Achao - 20
Krak des Chevaliers - 20
Las Vegas Strip - 20
Museo El Castillo - 20
Naqshe-e Rustam - 20

Palácio de Pena - 20
Prambanan - 20
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 20
Swayambhunath - 20
Teatro Colón - 20
Temple of Heaven - 20
Temple of the Great Jaguar - 20-3=17 - It's a wonder from Mesoamerica... And it's another pyramid. Really, Chichén Itzá and Huey Teocalli are enough to represent Mesoamerican pyramids.

 

[Xandinho]

I have put some wonders in the languages of its countries, it seems more original. Firaxis seems to do this, as Cristo Redentor (instead of Christ the Redeemer) and Huey Teocalli (instead of Templo Mayor).

 

[Siptah]

That was fast and I needed to look up some of those this time...

Arc de Triomphe - 17 (20-3) Simply put: not a wonder. It's a really nice building and has an interesting history. And it's fun to wander around it and read the texts and all. And it has symbolism too. But a wonder? I don't think so. It would make more sense as a structure that you can build if you kill another civ completely...
Burg Hohenzollern - 21 (20+1) Being home of one of Europes most famous dynasties, this can bring more than fortification to the game (unlike the Krak, which is mainly a 'fort', albeit an incredible one). I imagine some bonuses when suzeraining or even incorporation CS into your territory.
Catedral Primada de Bogota - 20
Chateau Frontenac - 20
Chrám Sv. Barbory - 20
Citadel of Qaitbay - 20
Colossi of Memnon - 20
Dhammayangyi Temple - 20
Dunedin Railway Station - 20
Etemenanki - 21
Fasil Ghebbi - 20
Humayun's Tomb - 20
Iglesia de Achao - 20
Krak des Chevaliers - 20
Las Vegas Strip - 20
Museo El Castillo - 20
Naqshe-e Rustam - 20
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 20
Palácio de Pena - 20
Prambanan - 20
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 20
Swayambhunath - 20

Temple of the Great Jaguar - 17

 

[Guandao]

Arc de Triomphe - 17
Burg Hohenzollern - 21
Catedral Primada de Bogota - 20
Chateau Frontenac - 20
Chrám Sv. Barbory - 20
Citadel of Qaitbay - 20
Colossi of Memnon - 20
Dhammayangyi Temple - 20
Dunedin Railway Station - (20-3)=17 It's nice to look at, but since Railroads aren't present in Civ6 yet, I don't find it a priority. There are many colonial style railway stations around the world, and I'm not sure this is the best example.
Etemenanki - 21
Fasil Ghebbi - 20
Humayun's Tomb - 20
Iglesia de Achao - 20
Krak des Chevaliers - 20
Las Vegas Strip - 20
Museo El Castillo - 20
Naqshe-e Rustam - 20
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 20
Palácio de Pena - 20
Prambanan - 20
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 20
Swayambhunath - 20
Teatro Colón - 20
Temple of Heaven - (20+1)=21 It's distinctive and iconic, plus a WHS.
Temple of the Great Jaguar - 17

 

[Guatenadian]

Ah damn, I missed my chance to recommend some wonders. For the record they were the Chateau Frontenac (glad that got added) and Acoma Pueblo.

Arc de Triomphe - 17
Burg Hohenzollern - 21
Catedral Primada de Bogota - 20
Chateau Frontenac - 21 (20+1) Im very biased here, but the sight of the Chateau overlooking Quebec City is really beautiful. Due to it also being a hotel it could work very well for a cultural victory for attracting tourists.
Chrám Sv. Barbory - 20
Citadel of Qaitbay - 20
Colossi of Memnon - 20
Dhammayangyi Temple - 20
Dunedin Railway Station - 17
Etemenanki - 21
Fasil Ghebbi - 20
Humayun's Tomb - 20
Iglesia de Achao - 20
Krak des Chevaliers - 20
Las Vegas Strip - 17 (20-3) I'm pretty sure Broadway has taken away any possible bonus this wonder could give, it would also look kinda weird to see a miniature Eiffel Tower, Sphinx, and Pyramid.
Museo El Castillo - 20
Naqshe-e Rustam - 20
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 20
Palácio de Pena - 20
Prambanan - 20
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 20
Swayambhunath - 20
Teatro Colón - 20
Temple of Heaven - 21
Temple of the Great Jaguar - 17

Apologies that this isn't 24 hours after my last post, I just want to make sure I have a more convenient time to post stuff instead of the middle of the night.

 

[Xandinho]

Arc de Triomphe - 17 - 3 = 14 This is the weakest French structure among the French wonders I know of.
Burg Hohenzollern - 21
Catedral Primada de Bogota - 20
Chateau Frontenac - 21
Chrám Sv. Barbory - 20
Citadel of Qaitbay - 20
Colossi of Memnon - 20
Dhammayangyi Temple - 20
Dunedin Railway Station - 17
Etemenanki - 21
Fasil Ghebbi - 20
Humayun's Tomb - 20
Iglesia de Achao - 20
Krak des Chevaliers - 20
Las Vegas Strip - 17
Museo El Castillo - 20
Naqshe-e Rustam - 20
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 20
Palácio de Pena - 20
Prambanan - 20
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 20
Swayambhunath - 20
Teatro Colón - 20 + 1 = 21 The Cultural Victory has become my favorite since it was reworked in Brave New World. Since then, I have become a defender of many cultural wonders in the game. And this theater is certainly a good choice.
Temple of Heaven - 21
Temple of the Great Jaguar - 17

Fasil Ghebbi - 20
Humayun's Tomb - 20
Iglesia de Achao - 20
Krak des Chevaliers - 20
Las Vegas Strip - 14 (17 - 3) -- It would look like a more nonsensical version of Broadway.
Museo El Castillo - 20
Naqshe-e Rustam - 21 (20 + 1) -- The necropolis of the Achaemenid rulers, and also an opportunity to represent a Zoroastrian religious structure (on which note, why are fire temples not included among the places of worship?).
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 20
Palácio de Pena - 20
Prambanan - 20
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 20
Swayambhunath - 20
Teatro Colón - 21

[God of Kings]

The Las Vegas Strip would very much be a wonder consisting of replicas of other wonders.

 

[XVeris]

Arc de Triomphe - 14
Burg Hohenzollern - 21
Catedral Primada de Bogota - 20
Chateau Frontenac - 21
Chrám Sv. Barbory - 20
Citadel of Qaitbay - 20
Colossi of Memnon - 20
Dhammayangyi Temple - 20
Dunedin Railway Station - 14 (17 - 3) Is certainly an impressive structure, but to include it without the guarantee of Railroads as an in-game object/feature would be strange.
Etemenanki - 21
Fasil Ghebbi - 20
Humayun's Tomb - 20
Iglesia de Achao - 20
Krak des Chevaliers - 20
Las Vegas Strip - 14
Museo El Castillo - 20
Naqshe-e Rustam - 21
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 20
Palácio de Pena - 20
Prambanan - 20
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 20
Swayambhunath - 20
Teatro Colón - 21
Temple of Heaven - 21
Temple of the Great Jaguar - 18 (17 + 1) Would definitely like to see more Native American structures in the game.

The Las Vegas Strip would very much be a wonder consisting of replicas of other wonders.

Maybe it would give bonuses to Wonders already built
