The Great Wall is an excellent wonder in certain contexts! No barbarians can enter your cultural boundary (and that doesn't just mean the part the wall graphic is around, it means ALL OF IT). Moreover, the chance to get Great Generals is doubled for battles fought inside your cultural boundary. If you are facing an early game threat from barbs or a primitive aggressive neighbor it can be quite useful!

tones (9/1/2009)
I was minded to compare this site to a sort-of-private Facebook, but, on reflection, that's not right . . . Nope. Here is a forum to exchange views and discuss topics and maybe have some literary fun; post some interesting pics (not Megabits of family krap); flag up some internet sites of Interest; pass on the occasional joke. To me, (struggling for analogy here) it's bit more like a quiet and cosy pub with locals you know and the occasional visitor from "outside"; thick stone walls and a cellar full of well-kept ale. Facebook, on the other hand, is some awful massive city-centre club that serves Fosters lager.   And, you know what? I am not unhappy with that analogy. I prefer the pub.

I wholly agree!  I LOVE the Great Wall...I can't stand the barbarians in Civ IV...it's like there's just way more of them or maybe I'm getting old and stupid.

Either way, Great Wall is one of my Must Haves

How did you get it wrapped around Shanghai and not Bejing?

I'd bet there was no Bejing.

The wall wraps around the cultural borders of the city that builds it & all the rest of the cities that are culture borderly connected to that city. If he chopped the Wall with Qin (industrious) before building any cultural buildings in his second city, that is how it would look like.

I built a Great Wall today around a pair of cities on a peninsula... ended up with three disjointed single-square wall segments. It was distinctly underwhelming

This is the screenshot of one of the walls I built. As can be seen it was completed this turn & did not wrap around all of the cities. It just went around the city that built it.

That looks like a wall you'd build in Age of Empires.
