For the Black & White 2 variant, see Wonder
Wonders are the most advanced buildings of Black & White, requiring 7 scaffoldings and a lot of wood to be constructed. They vary from tribe to tribe not only in appearance, but different wonders also grant different powers.
A wonder's size is directly related to how much belief a village has left. The more belief it has, the greater the wonder will be. The greater the wonder, the more powerful its effects will be. A large wonder can also be built by placing the scaffold extremely close to an artifact and the resulting wonder almost always needs near 60,000 wood to be built.
