I'm curious - one of the great things about Civ2 was that Wonders were worth competing for; and you had ways to improve your odds of winning the race. They were expensive (building freight etc), but you could choose to use them if you considered that wonder worth the cost.
Now wonders are just gambles. If I start building something, apart from building some more mines around that city, there's no way to speed it up. If someone else builds it first, I've just wasted all those shields.
Is there a way to turn rushing back on? You should at least be able to disband units and rush-build wonders by spending money or citizens. Otherwise it's much too much down to LUCK.

I'm most curious as to what this design decision is intended to achieve; and if it is possible to turn it off in options.
