Title: The Secret Projects (Wonders) of Civ:Beyond Earth
Post by: sisko on September 25, 2014, 08:50:43 AM

Most wonders in Civilization: Beyond Earth are the equivalent of mid-game base facilities in SMAC (or CiV city structures) which may appear among the city's buildings or near to the city on the border between hexes.
There are also, some Planetary Wonders (Secret Projects for SMAC fans), which occupy a tile on the map (so you have to give up the production of a hex in your city radius). These wonders must be protected with military units, as they are vulnerable to attacks by other factions.

Planetary Wonders

Warp Gate

Notes: This is the structure that's required for the Promised Land and Emancipation victories. There are actually two different wonders: the Exodus Gate (Purity, red) and the Emancipation Gate (Supremacy, yellow), but it's essentially the same warp gate with a different name and color, presuambly so that both the Purity and Supremacy factions can build one at the same time.

Mind Flower

Notes: This is the structure that's required for the Transcendence victory. It's a giant bio-mechanical brain machine that you build to be able talk to the planet and achieve a new level of consciousness.
