[Alexander's Hetaroi]

Going through all the wonders I'm surpriseed we don't have a Dam one or one focused around artifacts:

The Louvre (Unlocks at Humanism):
Grants a free Archaeologist when built and reveals antiquity sites(if not unlocked). Holds Three Artifact slots and Three Great Work of Art Slots. +2 Great Artist points per turn. Must be built next to a TS with either an Art/Archaeological Museum.

Boulder/Hoover Dam (Unlocks at Electricity):
Provides +4 Production and +3 amenities and 6 power to host city and all cities within 6 tiles of this wonder. Acts as a regular Dam district regarding floods and placement.

One suggestion: The Channel tunnel connecting Great Britain with France. I don't really have any ideas about bonuses, and it would act as a sort of inverse of the panama canal.

Like the Golden Gate Bridge?

I've never built the golden gate bridge, so far as I can remember, so I don't know. Probably.

 

[PiR]

It's what you asked for (with a different visual aspect of course): https://civilization.fandom.com/wiki/Golden_Gate_Bridge_(Civ6)

 

[tuc56]

Yep, that's pretty much it. The channel tunnel would probably have a more engineering focus, be later on the tech tree, and have rail roads instead of modern roads, but other than that, it's the same.

Natural Wonders:
- Koh Tapu (Locally referred to as James Bond Island. Because a 007 movie was filmed there as a site of villain HQ)
(Science and Culture related). actually there are few more that worths a place as Natural Wonders in Siamese Andaman sea
- Grand Canyon
- Gui Lin
- A land bridge connecting between South India and Sri Lanka, exists in Ramayana as an invasion bridge where King Rama and had Super Monkey army build one to attack Ravana's held Lanka city.

World Wonders
- Kyaiktiyo Pagoda (Golden Rock Pagoda)
Requires mountain tiles next to a holy site.

- Wat Arun

- Babel Tower
- Solomon Mines
- Mount Rushmore.
- A Confucian Academy in VN (Can't remeber the name but it is a site where civ6 VN emblem is, an array of graduates (there were few who did graduates there) (civic related)

- Babel Tower

The Babel Tower is kind of already in the game through Etemenanki. Isn't this Ziggurat the inspiration of the biblical Babel Tower?

Most scholars believe so, yes. Also, given that the Tower of Babel is a symbol of excessive hubris leading to a tragic downfall, I don't think building it would have exactly positive results. "You have finished the Tower of Babel! All of your cities instantly become new civilizations that are hostile to you and each other!"

Isn't that what happens after each victory?

I just assume that after victory the entire world bows to my ineffable greatness.

Wonder: Ellis Island. The symbol of Immigration. As it should be suggested. Immigration should once again be a concept. Ellis Island once completed can give a major boost in attracting citizens from other Civs. Tourism would also get a major bonus. And I suggest a Humanitarian count as a new way to calculate a Culture Victory. Ellis Island can be a Modern Age Wonder. It can also be an attraction to bring more diverse religions to add to the Humanitarian totals.

I'm pretty sure Alexander thought the same on his death bed.

I do want to see immigration as a mechanic in Civ7 alongside ethnicity, but Ellis Island itself (sans the Statue of Liberty) isn't really very wondrous. Maybe a similar mechanic could be attached to the Statue of Liberty, though. IMO there should be pros and cons to religious diversity, though, as it can create cultural opportunities but almost always causes social problems, as it did in 20th century America.

Not all Wonders have to be meant for sight-seeing. The Pentagon was a Wonder that comes to mind. Ellis Island is directly associated with immigration. Represents a sort of gateway for many who came from distant shores. Maybe other Civs have standard processing stations. Ellis Island could double the function of a regular processing station. I would add to the Immigration and tourism bonus by including the building of Cruise Ships/ports. As for religion diversity. We see that adverse effects of a place like Saudi Arabia as a religious dictatorship. People there live as if still in the 7th Century. But those mostly singular-cultures might prefer it. Where cultures are more so diverse and mixed. Religious freedom becomes more accepted and important. More freedom more happiness in the cities. And since religion itself is on the decline, having one dominant religion doesn't mean that much.

No, but they are meant to be...wondrous. The Pentagon is an impressive construction, even if it's as ugly as sin, Stripped Classicism being the American cousin of Brutalism. There's no particular artistic or cultural merit to Ellis Island itself.

As for religion diversity. We see that adverse effects of a place like Saudi Arabia as a religious dictatorship. People there live as if still in the 7th Century. But those mostly singular-cultures might prefer it. Where cultures are more so diverse and mixed. Religious freedom becomes more accepted and important. More freedom more happiness in the cities.

That makes a nice pamphlet, but it conveniently overlooks the fact that a diverse population cannot form a coherent society because they do not share underlying values. Religious pluralism is a double-edged sword: it usually brings about tolerance as a pragmatic measure to keep society from ripping itself apart but it also causes a breakdown in social cohesion. Tolerance is itself a three-edged sword (to borrow a Vorlon phrase) in that it privatizes religion, hampers devotion, and shifts social emphasis to commercialism and, ultimately, materialism. Whether any of those things are positive or negative is a value judgment (as a religious person myself I view all three as negative developments, but a secularist might see things differently), but it certainly changes society. As I said, religious (and cultural) pluralism should come with both pros and cons vis-à-vis a more coherent society; humans without shared value assumptions don't just naturally blend into one happy family. Tolerance is a mixed blessing--a blessing I'm grateful for, but one that comes at the cost of social cohesion and public devotion. The latter may be mourned by some and celebrated by others, but the former affects everyone.

Caesars Palace
Nothing says culture and tourism like Las Vegas. So let's let all Civs build Casinos in their Entertainment Districts. To boost the effect of the Casino. That's where Caesars Palace comes in. A Wonder that can double the tourism rate. And as both a Hotel and Casinos. Caesars Palace can double the benefits of both Hotels and Casinos. A major attraction to bring visitors. This could be a major late game boost for a Culture Victory.

Tourism, yes, Las Vegas is a major tourist destination. Culture? Not so much.
