If a player attempts to build a Wonder, all players in the game will receive a notification, and the Wonder's foundation will be revealed as well. The wonder represents the prestige of a player's empire. If a player's Wonder is destroyed, the player does not lose the game, although the player does not receive any resources back. Wonders are among one of the few buildings that cannot be converted by Priests.
As such, it is highly recommended that the Wonder be built as far away as possible from the enemies near the heart of the player's city, as they will mount a relentless assault on it until it is brought down. Wonders require 1000 wood, 1000 stone, and 1000 gold to build. If it is constructed and stands for two thousand years, the player will automatically win the game. It has a very high amount of hit points, yet no attack, and it takes a very long time to build and repair. It greatly increases the player's score, and is a victory condition in Random Map games.
The Wonder is a massive structure that can be built in the Iron Age in Age of Empires.
