Wonder

1/48

A Wonder must be built at the end of each age before you can advance. Each ingame Wonder is based on the equivalent of a real-world 'Wonder'. Wonders serve a variety of purposes such as improving research times, boosting resource production, or providing an extra build slot. Each Wonder takes 4 hours to build with the exception of the final wonder which takes 24 hours to build.
