What Wonders Do You Want To See In M2TW?

**westy159** · August 20, 2006, 11:06 AM

What monuments do you want to see as wonders in M2TW? I think Stonehenge in Britian should be in there. Simply so there is something of value in the north this time around!

I thought there might have been a thread on this earlier, but in any case mostly the religious wonders for me. St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, and everything in Mecca. Maybe also Stonehenge.

I don't think they will include mecca cause when we see the campaign mini-map we will see that the arabian pensuila is owned by rebels

That is historical inaccurcy(sp?)

But it will be cool if they include it :tooth:

I was under the impression that stonehedge is not considered to be important at the time.

The Kremlin!

the pyramids

Most of the Kremlin aint medieval, and I don't think Stonehenge was important either. Again most wonders (if they are in at all) should be in the south as most of the impressive old buildings in northern Europe arrived within the games time frame, not before, by 1080 the buildings of northern Europe where mainly made of wood, churches only exception from general rule. So, wonders? think Jerusalem should be the main wonder, also the papal seat in Rome/Avignon, and famous pilgrimage sites (such as Santiago and Nidaros) and artifacts (true cross, lance of Jesus), wonders could be scripted in, perhaps a few churches and mosqes (such as Hagia Sofia, Dome of the Rock) as well.

Hagia Sofia - Constantinople
Stonehenge - Mercia or is it Wessex?
The Aztec Step Pyramids - Americas
Egyptian Pyramids - Egypt
The Grand Mosque of Cordoba - Cordoba
Greek Pantheon? - Greece
The Kievan Cathedral Thingy - Kiev
Notre Damme Cathedral - Ill de France
St. Peters Basillica - Rome
Tower of Pisa (If around)
And yes of course (The Wailing Wall/Temple of the Rock)

If you are refering to the seven wonders of the world, I only want to see the one that still existed as late as the medieval period. But I have little knowledge about other wonders... So im not sure really.

**John I Tzimisces** · August 20, 2006, 07:25 PM

Pisa is either out of period or unimportant.
The Kremlin didn't exist until maybe very very late in the period of MTW2.
places of pilgrimage are the only ones I can think of...

**AMERICARULES** · August 20, 2006, 08:59 PM

I get the feeling that wonders won't be nearly as important or prominent in Medieval 2 as they were in Rome.

**Swe_gamer** · August 21, 2006, 01:12 AM

I am almost certain they said we will not see wonders in mtw2. Would have been nice. Don´t have to call them wonders, could just call them "important monuments/buildings" or something. There were definately structures at the time which had a great impact on the region.

**Cyrus the Virus** · August 21, 2006, 05:36 AM

Agree both with Swe_Gamer and AMERICARULES. Don't think either that will be almost any wonders at all.

**ThiudareiksGunthigg** · August 21, 2006, 05:56 AM

St Peter's Basilica is a post-medieval building - the medieval church of the Popes was St John's Lateran.

The Tower of Pisa is medieval, though in the medieval period it had not yet begun to lean.

The greatest buildings of the period included:

The Grand Mosque of Cordoba

The Hagia Sophia (minus its later Ottoman minarets)

Sainte Chapelle in Paris

Chartres Cathedral

The Great Donjon at the Louvre

Krak de Chevaliers

The Great Abbey of Cluny

Ely Cathedral

Chateau Gaillard

and

Westminster Abbey.

If there are no bonuses from wonders in this game, maybe itll work through the guildhalls that they mentioned earlier. I believe they said that you could build guild halls and once you have enough could be invited to build a 'Master Guildhall' that would offer specific bonuses to your faction and could only be built once in one settlement the entire game, sounds a bit like a wonder to me, so maybe there will be similar options for castles and cathedrals. If you make the Pope happy enough he may commision you to build an enourmous basilica in one of your settlements?
