Setting aside all the political and linguistic aspects, are there any great structures that could be considered "wonders" on Almea? Probably most of the wonders that are in Erel�e have been destroyed by wars. But what about Arc�l? I remember reading somewhere on this site about a building called The Festival House of Uytai. I also saw the Gardens of Engidori, the Palace of the Salons, and the Great Tower of Gurdago. What are the purposes of these places? Could these structures be considered "The 4 Wonders of Almea"? :)

<p>Heh. You're remembering the Civ2 scenario. Like any Civ2 scenario, it in fact has 28 Wonders. Here's the whole list; I've put * after anything that's not a physical structure. The epochs are a Civ2 thing, not necessarily true of the Almean reference.
