I really like it actually. It’s similar in size ‘real world to relic’ that many other wonders are. Having the scale brought to the right proportions, but with this one it’s not as tall. It isn’t full of the Qubba/Domes or the Minarets, Spires & Steeples of many religious buildings in Europe, the Middle East, etc. It takes an expansive dimension rather than a tall/grandiose one which feels quite appropriate here!
I know your main focus for me was the wonder, but I was just going to go into the rest of the image-file too & just throw some general ideas out if that’s alright.

  • Fortified Walls probably shouldn’t be in their tech tree (it isn’t in the one at the top), but it’s always nice for more options so they look good at least.
  • I like the lumber-mill style progression through the ages, alongside the T.C. & towers.
  • This has little to do with the images here, but would love to see a civilisation like this get to use a 3x3 house or maybe 3x2 here. Would make walling different, but maybe make it overall a bit less tanky so it’s cheaper & yet also still useful for quickwalls (Haudenosaunee/Native tribes could be a bit stronger (even just defensively in earlier ages).
  • I was wondering what the name should be, whether it’s an actual city/town or maybe instead call the wonder just a few basic works/word-phrase such as the Great Peace Home (the home of the Great Peace) Skennen’kó:wa for example meaning Great Peace.
