What Are Wonders in Civilization 7
Wonders are buildings a civilization can build that provide unique buffs and effects to your civilization. There are two types of Wonders in the game: Natural and Built. Natural Wonders can’t be acquired like Built Wonders. They’re discovered by exploring your map and being randomly placed on specific terrains. On the other hand, Built Wonders are buildings made using Technology or Civics; sometimes both are needed.
