Three Gorges Dam?!?!

[playshogi]

Hoover Dam put a hydroplant in every city. Since Firaxis seems to be reducing the effects of the wonders maybe Three Gorgeous Dams will only supply power to 3 cities or maybe only to cities that have access to fresh water.

Fully agreed on the selection of the three gorges dam in terms of magnitude of the project as well as the fact that it's a worthy selection of something non-western.

I agree with Mercade, in CIV III there were too many western wonders. Frankly speaking Hoover Dam 1.5 Gigawatt electrical production is garbage when compared to 3G 18 Gigawatt production when completed.
That is like 12 Hoover Dams all crammed into one.

Here: http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_zeven_wereldwonderen is a nice link to some options for contemporary world wonders.

Too bad its in Dutch.

I missed my chance to take a 3 day boat trip through the 3 Gorges when I lived in China. I don't know if you can still go, but if you can I hear it's totally awesome. If you're there be sure to go visit.
