15/04/19 - Modern World Wonders

[Hariff]

With Notre Dame burning, i'm gonna do this poll today: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New7Wonders_of_the_World

I've been to neither and if I had to choose one to visit first, it'd be Petra with Chichen Itza as a close second.

 

[Micchan]

Petra is older than some of the ancient wonders, makes no sense

 

[Kebs]

Yeah they don't make much sense if you look at them on a timeline , there's the Great wall of china built 700BC

then you have Christ the Redeemer built in 1931. They are so different built by people seperated over hundreds or thousands of years with different technological capabilities.

They should have held a vote for 7 wonders of the 20th century or this millenium or something to refine it.

 

[Benfro]

I'm still intrigued most by the Great Wall.

I've seen Aztec and Mayan ruins in Central America. They are really impressive, but not quite the sheer size of some of the other items on this list.

 

[Nizam Adrienne]

The modern world wonders were determined by holding a public vote so it makes sense there'd be a lot of discontinuity there since there was no major standard (as far as I know).

Machu Picchu due to the effect it has in Civilization VI. 

• Effects:
  
  Mountain tiles provide a standard adjacency bonus to Commercial Hub, Theater Square and Industrial Zone in all cities.
  
• +4  Gold

The Colosseum in its day, hosted naval reenactments.  they could flood it, would bring in real navy ships, sailors, and fight to the death.  That thing deserves more boats...  err... votes.

 

[Lordship]

Petra makes desert tiles super OP in Civ 6, so I'm gonna go with that

I have always just been interested in Machu Picchu not sure why. Really surprised so many other people picked it to be honest.
