"The wonders have misled the nation, Your Majesty!"
Though this is a jest, it is not entirely without reason.
As the strongest construction of a civilization, the effects of the wonders need not be overstated—they can bring about a qualitative improvement to a civilization.
The Yellow Turban is an example, without wonders, the Yellow Turban is worthless, ranking absolutely lowest among first-order civilizations. However, with wonders, the Yellow Turban turns into noble mages, standing at the pinnacle of first-order civilizations.
One wonder makes all the difference, a chasm between heaven and earth!
For this reason, constructing wonders demands a great sacrifice, not to mention the various basic resources, some even require the consumption of rare resources; for instance, the construction of Taiping Temple in the Yellow Turban Civilization needs five hundred units of Spirit Stones.
