What Wonders expire?

[Mountain King]

In the original Civ2, it's described what Wonders that expire, but not after converting it to Multiplayer Gold Edition.

So, what Wonders do expire, and when?

BTW, I don't like the shoddy search tool on this forum. I prefer the regular vBulletin search.

Open up you rules.txt file and you will find a list of wonders, and the adavnce that causes them to expire.

These can be changed easily, which is useful for scenario creation, but be sue you have a backup of the unedited file, particularly if you intend to play a GOTM.

So, if I understand this correctly, the Oracle will expire with the invention of monotheism? Makes sense.

I hate how they removed that from the description in MGE.

Railroad expires HangingGardens
Flight expires Colossus
Magnetism expires Lighthouse
Theology (NOT MonoTheism) expires Oracle
Metallurgy expires GreatWall
Electricity expires GreatLibrary
Communism expires MarcoPolo
Industrialization expires KingRich
MobileWar expires SunTzu
Automobile expires Leonardos
(and Darwins is a one-time-only Wonder)

Thanks, Elephant. I think I'll add that to the description manually, if I can.

How is Darwin's a one-time-wonder...what do you mean by that?

It gives two techs to the civ who builds it (the one being researched and one other). It has no other effects that might expire.

Oh, right, gotcha
