True, but you missed the point. The discussion was about
wether there should be a switch (server variable) allowing to
build wonders "secretly". Jason was only pointing to the fact
that in some way this already is. In a freeciv game, you will
never see me starting to build the wonder I am heading for.
to. When I want Pyramids, I start Hanging Gardens. The turn
I switch (without penalty) to the "final" wonder is the same
turn when it will be finished.

A little odd somehow, indeed. One year ago there was a "Colossus",
almost finished and *poof* its a Lighthouse. Magic! On the
other hand ... arent wonders always a little magic ?
