Anyone done this? How fast could you build an ancient Wonder?
 
You'd be hardpressed to hook up marble and research the techs for ancient wonders in time I think. Specially if you want your worker to do something to help food/production in your capital. When you have that many multipliers already, getting +1 hammer from a mine (or +1 food from a farm so you can work an extra hill) will probably make a bigger difference than an extra +15% to a very small base.
 
Marble only works for Ancient Wonders.
Monument of the Gods and Aristocracy give like +1 hammer each so early. So they don't help much. A worker probably does more than both of these together.

--> You're most certainly better just focusing on 1 or max 2 ancient wonders and choosing a more useful pantheon and social policy.

Agreed. I'm currently playing as Egypt alongside marble and currently chose everything you chose. I was able to build 3 ancient/classical wonders, but really wished I had chose a better pantheon.
 
Ahhh, that would explain it. Now I don't feel as bad for not knowing.
Definitely a good call by the developers, though.

(Building the Hubble Telescope): "This would be so much quicker if only we had... marble." :lol:
 
Believe it or not, I have had a game like this where I got all of those early wonder bonuses. That was the only time I have ever succeeded in building the great library on deity difficulty.
 
Settle on marble. You will not get lux happiness before you research, but 15% to wonders will be yours. On prince i manage to build all ancient and classic wonders except Terracotta and wall, but who cares about them. On emperor, with right timing and maybe few loads, i manage to get GL Gardens Oracle Petra\Lighthouse Mausoleum and another random wonder. With divine inspiration and holy warriors its super fun.
Bit of advise: don't exchange embassies with ai until you finish wonders. They watching you and try to squeeze and rush too.
