Ah... Yeah, I've seen those messages. Didn't know there could only be one
though.

The "Wonders of the World" are all single items. They give some sort of
special ability to the civ that builds them, so there is only one each.

However, in Civ IV there are Minor Wonders which every civilization can
build.

There is a silver lining when this happens, though. You get money
from your canceled project.

No, that's a new idea. In my opinion, it is a good one. You generally don't
have to be so hystercially focused on the "Great Wonders".

If so, my Civ 3 disk must actually be a mislabeled Civ 4 disk. I don't
think so.

Civ3 has them and calls them 'Small Wonders'.

Exactly: Civ 4's Minor Wonders are the same idea as Civ 3's Small
Wonders, just with a new name. At least, that seems to be the case from
what has been said about them on this thread.

Therefore, you should generally try to switch over to something a
little more expensive than a colloseum, such as a different Wonder of
the world. In fact, many people deliberately plan on this: starting
work on a Wonder that is currently available, with the intent of
switching over to a different Wonder as soon as it becomes available.

Civ3 has two categories of Wonders :

Great - which can only be built once
Small - which can be built once by every civilization

Civ 4 yes but NOT in civ 3.......
Perhaps 3,000 sheilds to build a colloseum which normally costs 200 sheilds.
(2,800 sheilds get wasted)
