Spartan special building suggestion? An Agoge, which produces Spartiates at the rate of 1/20 of the population every 5 mins or so, assuming population cap isn't reached.

The Spartans weren't known for grand infrastructure, so I suppose their wonder could just look like an average (but larger!) functional building.

Hmm, they already have the Syssiton, which is basically the Spartan warrior mess hall, as a building that trains Spartaiates and heroes. "The Agoge" as far as I know was the title of their training regimen from a young age... their word for their system of upbringing... rather than their word for a building or structure.

Thanks for the info nugget! :)

how about interiors? this parthenon is built off of a floor plan.

The Parthenon is Athenian, and since Wonders can have a higher poly count, the pillars could be more detailed and following the Ionic style, as Mythos proposed for the Athenians. It is great, though, LordGood, didn't expect less from you.

Actually, the Parthenon was in the Doric style. It's the iconic Doric temple.

Yep. The Parthenon in Nashville, Tennessee. I'm going to be visiting there this Summer! :) My main beef with the reconstruction (besides it being built in concrete instead of marble) is that the original Parthenon was very colorful. Much more colorful.

The inside has a full-sized replica of the Athena statue!

You can rent the space for wedding receptions and other events:

Interesting. It looks like quite a sincere reconstruction (no arcades, lightsabers etc.)

I was wondering if we would put in the tower of Babel, a large ziggurat, or any ziggurats really as a persian wonder of some sort, or scenario piece

I love your ziggurats LordGood! I remember seeing some in your DeviantArt gallery. I'm no surprised you come to suggest that in 0 A.D. :)
