I guess that Art of War is Militaristic, Hoover Dam is Industrious, and the Great Wall is Militaristic and Industrius... I wonder if I'm right

If Apollo-program wonder is included, I think it would be fair to have First-man-in-space -wonder and Sputnik-wonder also included. I mean, that's where it all started. Apollo could be a greater wonder (because only USA has sent people to the moon) and the other two could be lesser wonders (guess why ).
And please, let there not be a Statue-of-Liberty -wonder; it's nothing more than a big chick, received as a gift from France.

Or at least, I think it is. There's a structure that looks very, very much like the Globe Theatre (Shakespeare's) on a screenshot on the back of the preorder box at Best Buy.

New screen at Civ3.com confirming that The Pyramids, The Hanging Gardens, The Colossus, The Great Lighthouse, The Great Library, and The Oracle all come back to civ3.

Added to Adam Smith's and Magellan's, and the new Wall Street (though we don't know if any are minor wonders).

Stuie, darn, you beat me to it - I was just about to tell the (civ)world that Memphis looks like it's building the Theory of Evolution in that screen.

Anyway, here is a link: http://www.civ3.com/gallery.cfm?startimg=16 It is in the middle-right pic.

I would LIKE to see a small wonder (nothing minor about it) that gives each base a Naval Port (as in SMAC) perhaps a Naval Academy or Docks , even better would be The Admiralty Headquarters.

You could have an International Airport wonder too, that gives airports to each city on that continent, or just increases trade and culture.

I wonder if the Apollo Wonder works the same way, it would be better to have a small wonder of The Spy Satellite Network as well as apollo/Space agency, that shows you once the complete world map, and allows you to always see enemy ships (easy to spot)

Perhaps Firaxis haven't completely finalised everything that is Wonders (sic) , as it wasn't long ago they announced you could get the Golden Age option peacefully with them, so they'll probably have to change around when wonders can be built and what civ style they represent (like religious/indutrious civs needing the Pyramids maybe )

So we better give them all our wonder ideas right now before its too late !

I think they should have:
More scientific like discoveries-

The Royal Joust (or Royal Tilting Yard) - Medieval style competition to proove knights worthiness. Increases Knight skill ranks by 2 in your civ(any city, meaning they become Elite quicker with the extra grades of Veteran available)

Discovery of Pennicilin Antibiotics (or Invention - it had to be manufactured) increases growth rates each city or one discontent citizen made content in each. (info: discovered by Fleming in Britain)

Euclidean Geometry - doubles worker rates (better civil engineering for planning roads etc) Discovered by greek philosopher Euclid was the basis for modern geometry(basis of engineering and 3d graphics).

Anti-Slavery Legislation - Abraham Lincoln and co's ban on slavery in the US ; stops waste from production and decreases corruption(perhaps?)

Silicon Valley - doubles research of all Research Labs in your civ.

How about this for a wonder:

The Coca-Cola Factory: increases production by 50% coz we're all so wired. Effects expire with discovery of Civ 3.
