Part 118

Learn about National Wonders like Oxford University and World Wonders like Angkor Wat in Civilization V, including their costs and requirements.

National Wonders can only be built when all cities in your empire possess a certain building. For example, to construct Oxford University, every city must have a University. If a new city is founded without a University, the construction of Oxford University will halt because the conditions are no longer met.
