These are the wonders of Rome Total War. Ive been thinking alot of what features will be in the game that were in it predecessor. Among all the features this one was unique from any other total war game. Where the rest are mainly based on fact, this one gave supernatural powers to inanimate objects. For me this feature gave the first game some flare, I would always want to fight right near them so I could see them in the background (I know nerdy of me). I wouldn't mind seeing these features brought back for Rome 2, but I think there should be more wonders instead of just these 7. Maybe add Stone Henge, or maybe something else on another part of the map. I was curious to see if the community would right this off as fantasy like so many of the units in the first game, or does this feature have a home in Rome 2 2013?

I want these epic buildings too

[Gugg]

If they added like a cool cinematic like they did in the original, it would be great.

[Fishdawg]

Bring them back, gives you an incentive to either hold the region there in or capture them. Adds a bit of spice to the game

[Sun Jetzu]

I feel like if you could control the majority of these than you'd have a powerful boost as an empire. In other games I would lose a region, no big deal besides the fact that I lost it, but in Rome, I would leave my largest armies near o in the vicinity of the provinces that held the wonders. Dont want someone taking such a large advantage away from me. Do you guys think this feature in Rome 2 would be game breaking though?

[PlPs]

Yea, I want them too. 7 Wonders of Ancient World!

[BunnyPoopCereal]

2) Colossus of Rhodes

Description

Effects

Increases naval trade by 40%.

OP!

5% if its faction wide or 15-25% fi its region specific.

yeah if they had an erupting Mount Etna in Rome 1... then I certainly expect famous buildings and monuments, AS WELL AS tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanoes to occur and be implemented in this game, if not, the game after Rome 2...

[oOIYvYIOo]

We always had this monuments with TW .
So i hope this will return to R2 and gives some bonuses on incomes and moral ONLY .
Good topic.

It's been confirmed that Wonders will be in the game if i'm not mistaken. Tried to find the source but couldn't. I swear however on my mothers future grave that i've seen it being confirmed.

This literally made my day, not that you think they were confirmed but your comment lmao. If you can find where they confirm it post it, aparently noone doesnt want these features.

[Sun Jetzu]

I feel that any buidling should increase the moral of your units at least by a little bit. They are all religious building lol

I am confused about second option, there were only 7 wonders( 7 considered by modern historians), so..... is option 2, sugestiong to make some new up out of thin air and fantasy? or to include other great buildings from the period that maybe had not such fame, but still had prestige of their own?

[Sun Jetzu]

bingo

[removeduser_45762834756]

bingo

ah ok, that would be nice, as long as all "special" buildings are present only during the time period they existed..... that goes to the original 7 wonders too, as some of them were displayed wrongly on rome 1....

thats the only way to implement them and keep the game realistic

It might not be a 'Wonder' as such, but it may be an important building or historical building that isn't considered a wonder, but is still significant. < --- That took a while to word.

[Mary The Quene]

I really hope they're going to make it, it would ass so much depth to the game.

[XFire09]

Having the 7 wonders of the ancient world in the game is a must

[kamikazee786]
