    Default Ancient wonders of the EB-world:

    Last night I fought a series of battles against the Ptolemies at the base of the Giza pyramids and the Sphinx. It was absolutely outstanding! Thanks team for that goodie. The pyramids are located one tile west of Memphis.

    Q: Has anyone got the exact location for the other wonders?
    Q: Are there other "special buildings/ monuments" represented on the battlemaps. If so what and where?

    BTW, I pressed "print screen" to keep a memory of theese battles but then I found that the pics in the folder was... err black. How do I take in-game pictures in RTW?

    An easy way to make screenshots of RTW is to use programs like Fraps.

    Last night I played a battle with the casse and some rebels and there were standing stones on an edge of the battlefield (still reachable though). I'm not sure if these were in vanilla (but they were not that standing stones monument in the starting city of the csse).

    I find that the print screen thing works ok if you turn anti-aliasing off. I was getting black screens at first. I was also suffering with low fps during the battles so I turned AA off. Then when I took screenshots they worked. i.e they showed up in the TGAs folder.
    I don't really notice much difference in the quality of the graphics either between having it on or off so its no problem for me.

    Anyway, if you don't like it without AA I think a work around is that you can press Print Scrn then alt-tab back to desktop and paste it into a program like paint. Then save it. That's just what I've heard; I've not tried it myself.

    Thanks for the info on the Pyramids. I shall look forward to invading Egypt with that in mind. I'll keep an eye out for other wonders too.

    Cheers,
    Stu.

    If you look in the custom battle maps, you'll see a whole host of wonders. I fought a battle around the temple of the Pythia at Delphi! Plus there's Abu Simbel in Egypt, the Temple of Artemis, the Temple of Zeus at Olympia, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, and a number of others.

    Excellent!

    So how about their locations on the actual strategy map?

    Will the wonders be removed at the correct time? (I know Rhodes' Colossus lasted for less than a century. Would that be removed from the map or would it be there still? Not destroyed in EB's alternate reality)

    Thanks beforehand.
