What new wonder do you want to see in CivVII?

[How to know]

As per the question. With so many world heritages and landmark covered in the whole franchise, are there any great landmarks / great projects you want to see in VII’s wonder list?

 

[Futumch]

Large Hadron Collider
Suez Canal

 

[AntSou]

Titanic's Wreck, as a tourist attraction you can exploit. You can see little tiny subs diving, but there's a suspicious mismatch in the animation between the amount of subs diving and the ones resurfacing. Oversight by the animators, the newbs!

 

[GeneralZift]

Burj Khalifa, for some Modern wonder representation

 

[AJ22PIZZA]

Bring back Himeji Castle!

 

[AvianBritish]

Vauxhall Cross (Spy related wonder)
Titanic/Titanic Shipyards (would be cool to complete the shipyards which send out the ship to create a wreck wonder; then the shipyard becomes the Titanic museum)
The Las Vegas Sphere (could have fun graphical with this, such as an emoji face tracking your cursor)
Alcatraz
Masada
Lingotto
The Palm Jumeira
Uplistsikhe
The Hypogeum (not sure how it would be depicted graphically though) or Hagar Qim Temple
O'Hara's Battery (the Forts within the Rock of Gibraltar)
Castillo de San Sebastian
Bran Castle
Silverstone/Monté Carlo/Nurburgring/Monza
Haifa Bahá'í Gardens
Kowloon Walled City
Icherisheher (With Maiden Tower and Palace of the Shirvanshas)
Gardens by the Bay (With Supertrees, conservatories and maybe the Marina Bay Sands)
Wieliczka Salt Mines
Château Frontenac
Jemaa el-Fnaa
Chornobyl (power related wonder that eventually combusts, with second project to clean it up and turn it and neighbouring tiles radioactive that you can clean up and generate tourism while unimproved.)
Melngalvju Nams/House of the Black Heads (Add a Christmas tree to the front of it, but maybe don't burn it down...)
Staroměstské náměstí (Include Pražský orloj and maybe Karlův most in its depiction, gives you a bonus to science/space)

 

[Leyrann]

Bit of a nationalist answer, but the Delta Works have been called 'one of the seven modern wonders of the world'; I'd love to see them in a Civ game.

I also don't think there have ever been any Dutch world wonders in the game...

 

[SeelingCat]

I think the House of Wonders in Zanzibar would be a neat addition.

If dams are returning, then the ancient Great Dam of Marib would be great.

Another indigenous American wonder would be nice as well: the Mesa Verde Cliff Palace, Teotihuacan's Pyramid of the Sun, or the Incan Coricancha

 

[Navelgazer]

I was surprised that Neuschwanstein wasn't added when we got Ludwig. That could be a fun one just for how gorgeous it would look (though I believe we've had it in past games.)

Seconding the Burj Khalifa, and/or Petronas Towers (not sure if there are IP issues regarding these.)

Sagrada Familia would be a cool one (and could provide tourism as long as it's not completed!)

The Motherland Calls was cut from Civ V and I'm still not sure why (maybe an IP issue?) but would be striking.

And while there's certainly no way to do something like Walt Disney World, I think you could get away with something similar by making Coney Island into a wonder.

 

[Krajzen]

Some more wonders from Germany would be great; they have a ton of fantastic castles, cathedrals, palaces, monasteries etc (Cologne Cathedral, Aachen Cathedral)

I don't understand why we got "Ruhr" as a wonder, while it is the name of an entire industrial region which does contain famous site UNESCO site of Zollverein Complex which could work as a singular wonder

 

[Xandinho]

It's quite surprising they never added Santa Maria del Fiore as a wonder, as it's obvious content for wonder.

Pyramid of the Sun, Empire State Building, Great Sphinx of Giza and House of Wisdom are also obvious content for wonders.

In addition to that, I would like to see more oriental wonders, not just from China and India. Regarding Southeast Asia, Civ6 was very negligent, as it only had Angkor Wat, for example. I hope they bring Borobudur and a few others. I'd like to see more Japanese wonders in the game, especially Himeji Castle. Lastly, I would love to have Hwangnyongsa or Gyeongbokgung as a Korean wonder for the first time.

 

[pokiehl]

For World Wonders, I'd like to see:

1. Luxor
2. Temple of Baal
3. Library of Celsus
4. Pergamon Altar
5. Valley of the Kings
6. Rock-Cut Tombs of Pontus
7. Naqsh-e Rostam

For Natural Wonders, I'd like to see:
1. Mt. Damavand
2. Lut Desert
3. Latun Falls
4. Faiyum Oasis

If they can have Bermuda triangle then I kinda want Atlantis

[AffineConstant]

Alcatraz

I live near there, few people go see Alcatraz but tons of people see the Golden Gate Bridge (try public transit or something instead of parking if you're near there). Maybe the Golden Gate could give a bonus to movies, considering how often it gets wrecked in them

Speaking of movies, Vancouver Island would be a great natural wonder giving bonuses to like, culture/tourism, considering how often it's used as an "exotic" movie backdrop

 

[Jeppetto]

Gonna join homeland answers and give Bojnice Castle. Would be great fit into Civ 6 actually, requring adjacency to EC with Zoo.

 

[Boris Gudenuf]

Would like to see some more differentiation in "Wonders".

For example, some Specific Pre-Game Prehistoric) Wonders rather than generics on the map to discover, like
Tarxian Complex
The White Temple
Si an Bhru (Newgrange)
Dolmens of the North Caucasus
Deer Stones

Provide a Unique Wonder as the primary Religious Structure for each Religion (replacing a generic Temple, for instance). You found the appropriate Religion, you get to build the Wonder - and for once, nobody else can 'race you' for it!

Catholicism - St Peter's Basilica
Eastern Orthodoxy - St Basil's Cathedral OR Hagia Sophia
Oriental Orthodoxy - Church of Saint George
Protestantism - Magdeburg Cathedral
Anglicanism - Canterbury Cathedral
Calvinism - Oude Kerk
Islam - Dome of the Rock OR Hagia Sophia
Sikhism - Harmandir Sahib
Taoism - Baiyun Temple
Confucianism - Kong Miao
Shinto - Ise Jungu
Judaism - Hekhal
Buddhism - Mahabodhi Temple
Zoroastrianism - Adur Gushnasp
Hellenism - Temple of Artemis OR Parthenon
Teotlism - Temple of Kukulcan
Druze - Khalwat al-Bayada
Pejeset - Nesut-Tawy

Note that Hagia Sophia can be built for either of two religions. As the most famous example of a religious structure 'converted' from one religion to another, I couldn't resist!

There are numerous other great religious structures that could also be used if, for example, the Protestant, Buddhist, and Islamic religions are sub-divided further in-game, or as 'alternates' for someone who has a religion promulgated to their Civ from another and wants the advantages of a central Religious Wonder.

Then there are Wonders that should have been in the game earlier, but somehow were missed:

Great Dam of Mar'ib - what the 'Great Bath' should have been!
Dionysius' Workshop - the earliest Military Research establishment known.
Cholula Pyramid - by volume the largest pyramid known in the world
Pantheon - The Temple of All Gods, which could be a primary Religious Structure for Any Religion.
Baths of Caracalla - a Classical Health Wonder.
Huanghe Lou (Yellow Crane Tower) - sacred to both Buddhism and Taoism, another potential multiple Religions structure
Nalanda Mahavihara - an Indian alternative to the Great Library.
Singahiri (Lion Rock) - fortress, palace, great early Urban Planning, a multiple Wonder
Shaolin si - Buddhism and Martial Arts
Grand Canal - the longest river canal in the world, Loyalty, Trade, Transportation - what's not to like?
Bayt al-Hikmah - the House of Wisdom or Grand Library of Baghdad, another Great Library alternative.
Su Song's Hun Yi - a giant mechanical clock, a medieval mechanical engineering Wonder.
Buyuk Carsi (Grand Bazaar) - a Wonderous Market
The Fuggerei - the oldest Public Housing Complex in the world, and still in use. A Wonderous Neighborhood?
Uranienborg - the first astronomical observatory in Europe
Hotel national des Invalides - a veteran's hospital, museum, tomb of Napoleon: another potentially multi-purpose Wonder
Great General Staff - the basis for German military exceptionalism - or Malian if you happen to be playing them
Smithsonian Institution - a Museum for Everything, including Art, Archeology, and Technology
Institut Pasteur - one of the foremost research centers in the world against infectious diseases. Got Plague? You need this.
Disneyland Park - World's first Theme Park

 

[PetrusvonDoom]

I could spend forever suggesting Wonders that I would like. In order not to upset anyone, I think it would be interesting not to repeat so many Wonders from previous games and bring back scientific achievements as World Wonders like "The Cancer Cure" in Civ II or "Space Elevator" in Civ IV.

 

[tedhebert]

I think there should be a crapload of Wonders, but you will only randomly get X many in each game.

Would be fun to have the surprise of finding ou which wonders are out there for THIS game !

I like this.

A variant of this idea could be wonders that change their names, descriptions, appearances and/or effects based on which civ builds it. eg. there's only one "Great Pyramid" type wonder, but if Egyptians build it it's the Great Pyramid at Giza, if a Mesoamerican civ builds it it's the Pyramid of the Sun at Teotihuacan. You can do this for a lot of wonders that basically serve the same function (Big castle! Big library! Big religious building!) but just look different.

Building upon that further: being able to build eg. the Great Pyramid more than once, but select a different bonus. Eg. if Egypt has already built a Great Pyramid, you as the Aztecs can build one too but you can't get the same bonus as what the Egyptians got. To prevent every Civ from building their own Great Pyramid, you can restrict it to, for example, 3 instances of the same type wonder per game. Or you can do it by age: only a certain number of Ancient Era wonders can be built.

This would allow way more wonders to be added, avoiding a lot of "why isn't x in the game" arguments, while keeping the number of wonders actually built in any particular game to a manageable amount.
