Share the best cultural wonders for each Humankind era
Like many historical 4X strategy games like Civilization, in Humankind you can create Wonders. In this title, they are called Cultural Wonders, and the title is not the only difference from the more standard and familiar mechanics. The most important resource in the game is influence, although many great bonuses can be obtained through cultural wonders, including additional fame or stability. In this guide, we’ll take a look at all the cultural wonders, suggesting which are the best and most appropriate for your current empire.
How to get the best cultural wonders
Cultural wonders in Humankind are limited. Influence determines whether you can build a miracle or not. This is significantly different from what we are used to seeing in Civilization, when Miracles could be built by anyone. That is, in this case, the task is not reduced to building Miracles faster than others, but to who can collect enough influence on them as soon as possible. it is also important to emphasize that each time period, starting from the Ancient Era, has several wonders to choose from. And if you don’t want a particular cultural wonder, you don’t have to choose it.
Note. The further you progress through the game, the more influence is required to use cultural wonders. Once you try to build a Miracle, make sure you have the right tile available to you. You will not be able to claim a new cultural miracle until you complete the previous one. For the construction of the Miracle, you can allocate resources from several cities. You can instantly complete the construction of a wonder by donating population to it.
Cultural Wonders Bonuses
Below you will see several lists of cultural wonders. Let me emphasize that each completed wonder gives you 100 Fame Points, 2 Detection / Range for Areas. Likewise, they provide additional stability to the city, which will be enough to virtually eliminate any rebellion and misfortune.

The best cultural wonders
If you have time for this, then linger in the Ancient Era and build Stonehenge. Its benefits are based on additional faith (which is really important, since followers of your state religion can later participate in scientific advances). Then you can focus on other bonuses.
First, Angkor Wat, which could have been created during the Middle Ages. Assuming you already have a lot of faith, you can convert it into a lot of food. Second, take a look at Machu Picchu from the Early Modern Age. The city that owns this territory will provide all remaining cities with 50% of the food they receive. This will allow you to instantly get excess food.
If you can expand and gain control of more cities, outposts, territories, I recommend claiming the rights to the Eiffel Tower, the Statue of Liberty and the Statue of Christ the Redeemer. The constant expansion and presence of these cultural wonders ensures that you have enormous potential for the development and growth of your empire.
