In the Netherlands we have those huge stones put together as graves in the North that would be nice to see back.

**PROMETHEUS ts** · August 13, 2012, 06:50 PM

wich ones ... were also in RTW1?

I remember in the RTW videos that they showed units walking near the piramids etc but I could never get any close when had battles near them ...

**General Brewster** · August 13, 2012, 06:55 PM

We call them "hunebedden". They where not in RTWI but NL was a small unimportant region in that game to.
Where the Batavi and frisson had uquiete and impact on the empire.

Cool

there are many Megalithic sites all over europe , from North to South up to Malta

Even a walled city in Italy is made with megalithig structures from prehistoric age ...
and several ancient Dolmens here and there ...

But interesting indeed.

Please take the discussion about the Megalithic sites to the Vestigia Vetustatis, this thread is for a discussion about the implementation of wonders on the TW Rome II campaign map.

Persgas those blue Gates in Babylon, i'm not sure wether They stil existed at The start of The game but I would really like to see them ingame.

**Lord Baal** · August 14, 2012, 07:33 AM

Definitly the Great Library (which has been nicknamed the DARPA of the ancient world judging by the things they were researching in the glory days of the roman empire post conquest such as automatons, steam power, mass production etc as well as whole areas of science only rediscovered ceturies later).

ALso, the Double Walls of Babylon. THey may not have existed by this games timeframe, but having only one wall in every city is too uniform.

**General Sultan V** · August 16, 2012, 12:46 AM

Don't forget lesser "Wonders".. Such as the Pantheon, the Campus Martius (Before being turned into an urban area) the Parthenon... things that existed in cities

Not sure if Campus Martius could be considered a Wonder ... as for the Pantheon could but is much later in timeframe I guess....

Added the Great Library

Te double walls can be considered just a double wall system of the city .

I am not sure if this shoudl be considered a unique wonder as if not wrong is the 8th gate of the walling system , that perhaps could be considered a cultural type of walls?

**General Sultan V** · August 16, 2012, 12:30 PM

not a wonder, just one of the "Special buildings" that we could see in cities, I Hope they add all of those, and add special effects for them

**Fallenempire** · August 16, 2012, 12:40 PM

it be cool if they were freatured in multiplayer maps,even if they were only in the background

**PROMETHEUS ts** · August 16, 2012, 01:00 PM

If you know of other special ancient strutures, predating the 270 BC or that were still exhisting after that date or built during the 270 till 50 AD .. please do post ....

**Strategos Alexandros** · August 16, 2012, 02:48 PM

- The Acropolis in Athens with buildings such as the Parthenon, Nike temple etc.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acropolis_of_Athens
- The Acropolis of Pergamon with buildings such as the library of Pergamon and the Great Altar.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pergamon

Edit: There are many buildings in Rome which can be marked as unique: Circus Maximus, Forum Romanum with temples and the Curia, Cloaca Maxima... To much to mention them all.

From the Urartian kingdom. The East needs a few wonders too.

**PROMETHEUS ts** · August 16, 2012, 03:05 PM

Well yes but still those a re Actually Buildings that you woudl be able to build in any City Like a Dedicated Temple , or Circuses etc.... Still Some Cities that are more important like athens , rome , Seleucia , Babylon , Alexandria etc coudl get a special Care from CA just like they gived to Cartage ... so they will have their unique Buildings ...

But I mean some rare features ...

I woudl also like to add to the List some very special LAndmarks of terrain .... like special Rock formations very unique , or Cliffs , or Waterfalls or the like ...
