World Wonders

[Buck001]

Anyone seen a World Wonder in the game? I think they are mssing.

Capture a settlement with one, then look in the bottom left where the modifiers (like population happiness effects) are.

Why no cutscenes? How the hell do i know where they are? Let's say i lack the historical knowledge, or Rome 1 background..... How do i know that Greek hold more than half of the World Wonders? Should i research into every settlemen? Mannnnn sometimes i conquer World Wonders just for the cutscenese.... its a morale boost. Easy stuff like this they shoulda added

The game lets you know with an event message every time you gain control of a world wonder. If you'd played more than three minutes before whining on this board you'd know that.

ive seen stonehenge in england and another one in Brittany, they are on the campaign map.

They have quite a few that I've seen, mostly the ones I recognize from Civilization games.

Stonehenge, The Pyramids, The Great Lighthouse of Alexandria, the Colossus in Rhodes, the Hanging Gardens (Babylon), Zeus Statue by Sparta, Mount Olympus, and a couple of volcanoes.

I'm not even sure if they have an effect, but I know they were supposed to. I haven't payed enough attention to what makes the other factions happy.

Like I said when you have a settlement with a world wonder selected, if you look in the bottom left corner where the active effects on the province are (like the effect of the happiness level) you will see another one and mousing over it will detail the effects of the wonder.

I conquered all of Greece and Asia minor. Rhodes, Sparta and Halicarnassus and i open every message that comes up, never got a World Wonder captured message.

They are all on the map, some are just harder to spot than others. Here is the map to accompany where they are: http://i.imgur.com/Yf49Ixz.jpg

Also, the encyclopedia map shows where they are too.

Poor Suebi :(

[Kon]

From the look of the map i pretty much own 6 world wonders, some how i got no messages...... The bonuses to Bread and Game Edicts are do notice, as it gives me like 17 public order

[sam]

at the moment they dntt seam to give the bonus at least not that i can tell

[Loligo Vulgaris]

They screwed up the wonders, they were apparently going to be open battle maps but as always CA jerked us around.

[DarthHammer]

Interestingly you can see the Delphi Oracle on one of the islands in the Aegean, but it doesn't give any bonuses.

[Swesal]

They all give the bonuses they are suppose to, you simply have to look at the provence info bar, I have held evey one of them at some point they all work.
