Wonder Ideas?

[Showstealer]

Er...yes it has. Sorry, but who cares? Its still a good idea!

 

[Showstealer]

Magna Carta (with Feudalism?) , Chicken Itzu (replaces pyrimids), Terra Cotta Army , (with philosophy) , Mir (with space flight, or something) , That Giant Jesus Statue in Brazil (with Monotheism) , The CN Tower (with radio).

Well what were some of the other Asian Monarchies...that could be done...I really don't know Eastern history all that well...but there must have been some that stood out...perhaps a dynasty?

But beyond that, I was thinking the other day that there must be all kinds of wonders that really are being left out...that could have been done instead...

I'm looking at this thread as a brainstorm...

All ideas are welcome...

How about the 5 Year Plan? It's a Wonder that it actually worked somewhat for the Soviets, in which was to bring old industry up to speed with the rest of the world in 5 years. Could be like a King Richards Crusade thing.

 

[Showstealer]

What about the Porcelain Tower/Pagoda ? Or that Yangtzee River Dam (i think thats the river).

Taj Mahal instead of JS Bach's (about the same timeframe)?

Forbidden City instead of er, Statue of Liberty? (sorry Civ 3 fans but there was no such thing as the Forbidden Palace - all the palaces within the Forbidden City had their own names).

 

[MajorGeneral2]

Forbidden Palace? Oh, brother. Anyway. I think the "Bill of Rights" would work as a happines wonder, with Democracy, perhaps. "Imperialism" or "Militarism" could replace Sun Tzu's.

 

[Peregrine]

Um, both Imperialism and Militarism are techs in several of my scenarios.

But keep trying.

 

[CivPartisan]

How about FDR's NEW DEAL...that's gotta be worth a wonder. I think Mount Rushmore would be a good one.

While we are at it, why not the Woodstock instead of Women's Suffrage.

I think that McDonalds could be a nice wonder, and maybe the Hubble Space Telescope (with space flight)

 

[frunobulax]

I really like Showstealer's idea of 'Mir', particularly as I'm just finishing off a new WW3 scenario... I might just use that one along with 'KGB' and 'World Wide Web' etc. (think I'll pass on McDonalds though )

 

[Showstealer]

thanks for that, more ideas-
Edison's Invention Factory
MSN Messenger
Yahoo! Mail (these two for a intrenet wonder style)
Aachen Cathedral
Petra
Sphinx
C.W. McCall (yeah! only the best for you guys!)
Sears-Roebuck (store-catalog)
Wal-Mart
Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show
Mac-OS (my local school swears by it)
Brady Bunch (replaces Sistine Chapel)

 

[CivPartisan]

Well, TV should be a wonder...but aside from that if we are going to include TV shows...I have to say:


STAR TREK SERIES WONDER

You've got to admit...there is no show that has had so many spinoffs especially for the money that is spent on it...and it launched UPN

On the other hand, I would also vote for Jeri Ryan as a wonder.

hehe

John

P.S. Hey, what Sid Meier's Civilization Series! That's gotta be a wonder!

 

[Showstealer]

It is! Check out the Sagen scenerio! Its probably my favorite too date.

 

[CivPartisan]

Who authored Sagen, and give link- pleeeese...

John

P.S. did I remember to say please this time...hehe

 

[Showstealer]

Sure, since you asked nicely. http://www.civfanatics.com/civ2scensci.shtml
Its titled : Sagen: Earth 3000
By: Mr. Temba
Its the seventh down through the list

The "Edison's Laboratory" is a wonder in the FW scenario World of Jules Verne.
