Machu Picchu impossible to build

[Young Padawan]

So I was in a game but then I realized after picking the Machu Picchu that the map didn't have any mountain at all. So I'm stuck and unable to build any other wonder for the rest of the game ? Or is there any way to unclaim a wonder ?

Sounds like a serious oversight should report it

that sucks that you cant unclaim/abandon wonders, but you definitely should have made sure you had mountains for a mountain wonder lmao

[Qoojo]

i have heard this one mentioned about 3 times, but it can happen with other wonders too. Serious design issue.

lol ^^ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really need to wear my glasses while reading these, I thought you wrote something about mounting Pikachu

Didn't thought much about it before taking it, but it would've happened to someone else anyway, I thought the game was polished enough (with their betas) so these flaws were fixed but apparently no.

I mean... Read the requirements?

Thanks Sherlock Holmes, so it's totally my fault that I can't properly play after 1 feeble mistake ? Damn, many consumers are in fault in many games then.

It makes sense that you can't unclaim wonders freely, but there should probably be some sort of escape hatch, even if it's costly. Ideally, the game should also give you an "are you sure" popup if you try to claim a wonder you can't currently build, but that would probably take some time to program and I'd rather the devs focus on other things (e.g. modability) at the moment.

Or simply add a bolean to the wonder pool if the requirements are mathematically available on a map, I was trying to learn the hud and stuff so when I saw a mountain (which was a natural wonder) on another city I thought I could just snatch it but I learned afterwards.

Yes. Also yes. This isn't a game about speed or good aim. It's about reading and making decisions based on the information available to you. You could just as easily have picked a wonder which required rivers, or to be placed on top of a luxury, or picked a culture with a coastal emblematic district but be land-locked.

With that said though, I'd still say that there is *one* point in your favor, which is that the game denies you the possibility of building infrastructure with no effect on your cities, so there's a precendence for not being able to pick "invalid" choices.

To be honest claiming wonders makes no more sense than building one and locking everyone else out of the rewards even if they were in the process of building it too (like in the civ games). All wonders should be open to everyone but the civilization that completes it first should get a bonus and each civ should be able to complete it more than once for diminishing returns. The Great Pyramid of Giza and Chichen Itza performed pretty much the same function and Egypt built several pyramids of lesser size. there were also Tomb of Kazanlak, The Mausoleum of the first Qin emperor, The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, and The Taj Mahal

Carving a mountain into a wonder like Machu Pichu but that would include Mount Rushmore, Petra, Abu Simbel, and Kailasa Temple.

The Great Library of Alexandria but that could include The Library of Ashurbanipal, The Library of Pergamum, and The House of Wisdom.

The Statue of Zeus but that would include the Colossus, The Statue of Liberty, Cristo Redentor, The Colossi of Memnon, Statue of Unity in India, and Spring Temple Buddha statue.

The Hanging gardens but many ancient (and modern) cities had huge gardens.

I was hoping for more of this type system in this game.

There are a number of oversights like this in the game. Such that we discover them in our first game, yet they don't get fixed before release.

I find it odd that they take out where you can get a wonder stolen out from under you, but make it so the civilization you want can be.

So mistakes should not be tolerated? I do hope you're not working at any game company, you'd make every consumer flee.
