National Wonder Elimination Thread

Ironworks 39
National College 46 (+1)
Oxford University 15 (-2)

NCS deserves to win. I love Ironworks, and I like Oxford, but neither one is available early enough to pack the same punch as NCS. NCS + and early Academy is amazing. NCS alone is likely to add 9 bpt to a modest 6 pop capital, which doubles that capital's output (6 pop + libraries = 9. NCS adds 3 base and .5 * the base). That's huge in the early game.
 
Yeah, NCS is clearly the best one--which to me indicates a problem. Either NCS needs to be pared back or the others need improved--more tough decisions is good for the game.

I agree with you as well. If you think about it, National College and Hermitage are the only National Wonders that grant a 50% gain to whatever. That's insane! I think it would be better if all National Wonders granted a finite amount of beakers, production, gold, culture, etc. Maybe a small scaler like 10-25%, but not 50%. Would make diety OCC science wins harder, but I think it would balance National Wonders a lot more.
