Unciv Wonders List: Every World and National Wonder

Conclusion

The built-in ruleset has 40 world wonders (one per world) and 14 national wonders (one per civilization). Most wonders don't list a cost of their own: the game takes it from the tech column that unlocks them — 185 production for the earliest, rising to 1,250 in the late game.

Egypt's ability (+20% production on all wonders) and Tradition's Aristocracy (+15%) are the built-in ways to build them faster.

An analysis-based guide: this guide is based on our analysis of Unciv's Buildings and Techs data files. It describes what the data shows and is not a guarantee of results.

FAQ

Why do two wonders from the same era cost the same?

Their cost comes from the tech column of the tech that unlocks them, so wonders unlocked in the same column share a price.

Can I lose a wonder race?

Yes. Each world wonder can only be built once per world, so if another civilization completes it first, you lose the chance to build it.

Are great person points included?

Yes, where a wonder generates them, they're listed under its effects.
