Wonders of the World in BI.

[Al: Total Gore]

In BI, only two Wonders of the World appear on the map, the Mausoleum of Maussollos at Halicarnassus and the Pyramids. But the Lighthouse of Alexandria and the Statue of Zeus should also be in the campaign map. The Lighthouse was not destroyed until two earthquakes in the 14th century and the Statue of Zeus was taken to Constantinople in 394.

It makes sense to have the Colossus of Rhodes (destroyed in an earthquake 226 BC), Temple of Artemis (destroyed by Goths in 262), and the Hanging Gardens gone though.

Is there any chance we could see this corrected in the patch?

i think the statue must stay out of the game, cuz it will be in too short to be of any significanse (if you want to put it historical)

Good historical points, but I doubt CA will make the effort to correct the problem - the "Wonders" have no impact in BI.

You do still get the happines bonus for a few turns upon capturing one though.

I'm still getting the wonder bonus, for the Pyramids at least. Not sure whether it lasts, though.

The empire-wide temporary happiness bonus on capturing the pyramids worked exactly as in RTW when I captured them in BI. They don't seem to do anything else though, as there are no egyptians in BI. I haven't captured the Masoleum yet (and don't plan on doing so soon, as I am using the ERE as a buffer against the Sassanids) so I can't speak to its function in BI.
