The Wonders in Civilization VI. See also: Production for a complete list of things to build.
All Wonders are built on Tiles surrounding the city center. Wonders will be shown in gradual states of being construction as work on it progresses. Once it is finished the construction will be repeated with a cinematic, complete with dramatic lighting of a day going by. Wonders can't currently be pillaged or destroyed, except perhaps by nuclear weapons or by razing a city.
From the dev team[ | ]
- "We had those pre-rendered Wonder movies that show a sort of time-lapse photography sunrise to sunset. Everybody really liked those, and we got a lot of comments that they missed those as a reward for building Wonders. So now we're doing those in-game. Wonders actually have very intricate build sequences, so as you're building Wonders over time you can see a certain percentage that's done by looking at them massing. But when you're done you're rewarded by this movie – actually, the time of day in the world changes. So it goes from night to sunrise, so you see all the bricks building up in place until you get to sunset. Or some of the wonders end at night because they're lit. And it's all in-game in your world, and you can see all your buildings around it. It makes the world seem more alive, and that's something we’ve put a lot of effort into." - Brian Busatti[1]
- "Wonders are the one thing that we never wanted to damage or destroy. I know horrible things can happen to a wonder in the real world, but it's one thing we wanted to shield people from: having smoking ruins of the Pyramids. We imagine that everyone in the world has such respect for a wonder that they wouldn't destroy one." - Dennis Shirk[2]
