Hi all,
proud to present the result of another project I made a retopology to reduce the polycount 29k tris ->7k tris.
I wasn't entirely happy with the old diffuse so I baked a new one and added some details to it. The faces are difficult to paint as you can see lol. The ivory could be slightly brigther now that I see it.
Mod's attached and here are some before/after pictures:

IMO i think the primary purpose of wonders should be wonder victory and eye candy. If they were meta and part of the core gameplay loop, you would run into stuff like the annoyance of finding space for them all the time.
Also if they were used every other game, I think they would lose their novelty.
