All factions may build

  • Cemetery for Nobles - Statue of Liberty - prereq Aristocracy
  • Ducal Hall - Taj (increase cost) - prereq Aristocracy
  • Observatory - reveals map (increase cost)
  • Craftsman's Quarters - Colossus

These wonders all have one wonder point each.

These all follow Zhou-style architecture.

Level 2[edit | edit source]

Chinese only.

  • Cemetery for Kings - Teracotta Warriors (sacred Texts)
  • Royal Hall - Pyramids (State Monopoly)
  • Gardens - just a few extra wonder points. Nothing to shout about (eiffel tower)
  • Temple of the Gods - Tikal (sacred texts)
  • State Archives - Versailles - prereq Despotism
  • Temple of the Dead - Colosseum ()
  • Summer Palace - H GArdens
  • Winter Palace - Kremlin

These wonders all have 2 wonder points each, with the gardens providing 3 instead. all buildings use Qin-style roofing and towers.

Level 3[edit | edit source]

Great states only (viz Qi, Chu, Han Zhao, Liang, Yue, Qin and Yan) These are built at speed and so must require some special techs.

  • Imperial Palace - Forbidden City - prereq Despotism
  • School of Fine Arts - porcelasin
  • Grand Citadel - Red Fort - prereq Despotism
  • Steelworks -  Angkor Wat - prereq Despotism

These wonders all have 4 wonder points each, but the Imperial Palace provides a boost of 6, the School of Fine Arts 5. These wonders all use the Qin style architecture.

In addition, Iron Age is a prerequisite.

Level 4[edit | edit source]

  • Jixia Academy - Super C (Qi only)

Design notes[edit | edit source]

These have animated humans in them.

  • School of Fine Arts - porcelasin
  • Steelworks - Angkor Wat - prereq Despotism

Othwerwise.......

  • Craftsman's Quarters - Respectable cottages, all of them strung with tools and pots.
  • Royal Hall - A roofed terrace
  • Gardens - retrieve from Warbirth

Temple of the Gods - A round temple. State Archives - Should be a reahash of grand library/Museion. Temple of the Dead - consists of a tall building, then a low building. A spirit way lined with terracotta warriors finishes it.

  • Summer Palace - Chu Palace
  • Winter Palace - Zhou Palace

Some thoughts[edit | edit source]

While there are variations of architectural styles, we should use the Qin style for as may wonders as possible - the Level 4 Wonders especially. This involves file tile roofs, as well as the use of rammed earth on a base of rough stone where possible.
