In Civ IV all those wonders can be yours. You only need conquest
If you hate some of them, again
and raze the cities
Oh boy!! How will a civ benefit from the Berlin Wall?? Maybe a very sarcastic national wonder for vassal states in Warlords?!?!?Skirmisher said:Berlin Wall
Eureka technology bourse
Cern super collider
Baikonur Cosmodrome
Al-Jazeera network
Echelon surveillance system
Palatul Poporului
migthegreek said:Maybe Syndey Opera House, as it's a pretty famous icon (although I don't think it's 'wonder' material), but not the Syndney Harbour Bridge. The world has hundreds of cool bridges. I think the point of wonders in the game would be that most people in the world know them, regardless of what country they're from. That's why it's irrelevant if everyone in Australia knows the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

The same can be said for just about all wonders... the only thing the pyramids are good for are looking at, and storing corpses. Stonehenge didn't have an impact on anything.Zhahz said:but neither has any significant impact on world culture or any other kind of significant impact.

"Sydney Opera House has been built in Paris."

Al-Jazeera sounds nice!
IMO the Berlin Wall is too negatively affected to suit as a wonder. For your idea the Iron Curtain would probably fit for this, also.GoodSarmatian said:Hmm, the Berlin wall would be a good national wonder to prevent conquered cities from flipping...

caitlinm said:This is something I've been thinking about and I wonder if anyone else feels this way. It seems like the wonders towards the end of the game are strongly biased towards the United States. Is the game biased... or have no other nations done anything of worth in the past hundred or so years?
Look at the wonders towards the end of the game:
Hollywood
Broadway
Rock N' Roll
The Internet
Wall Street
Mt. Rushmore
As it is, I have a little beef with Rock N' Roll and The Internet being considered wonders, as wonders were usually things you could build. I think the internet should be a technology, not a wonder. As for Rock ' Roll... I'm not sure. (But on a side note, I wish they would bring back the Great Wall as a wonder.) Well? What do you guys think? Biased or an accurate reflection of our current history?

...
And frankly, what more famous than the American wonders?
theimmortal1 said:Guys this isn't rocket science here.
theimmortal1 said:America has been the dominate force the past couple hundred years, culturally, economically, and through brute military might.
theimmortal1 said:People who complain about this are frankly jealous of the success of America.
The Conquerer22 said:Just so we're on the same page, here is a list of wonders by country. Admittedly I took my best guess at some of these so not all of them are 100%correct.
US (13)
Broadway
Hollywood
Mt. Rushmore
Apollo Program
Statue of Liberty
United Nations (Headquarters in US)
Internet (Technology originally developed in US)
Pentagon
Wall Street
Rock N Roll
Hermitage
West Point
Manhattan Project
BearMan said:One a side note, it is the last 100 years, not couple.
USA have only been around for 200+ years (1776), and this includes a weak civil war period (18611865).
Instant_Cereal said:Yes, it's more like the past 100 years. And, I wouldn't call the American Civil War "a weak civil war period". By no means was it weak at all.
