Department of Wonders

Daghdha · Sep 26, 2005, 05:53 AM

Since the Pyramids have been mentioned elswhere (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showth...07#post3114207) it may be time to discuss the wonder building. If what we think is true, we will out-rex others, we may allow ourselves a wonder or two.
What wonders would we like to have?
Colossus in a 2:d costal city?
Pyramidz for a dom win?
SoZ for late AA cav party?

Side note: If this thread turns out to be completely useless, it is still a nice name on a department and I 'am, in this very moment, conducting a little cermony in order to install myself as its chief.

What about GL?

If not GL, then Pyramids. I don't think others are worth their shields. Colossus maybe...

Daghdha · Sep 26, 2005, 06:49 AM

I like the big bronze guy. It lasts forever.
Oh, and I assigned a secretary also...

Tubby Rower · Sep 26, 2005, 08:08 AM

Colosus is obsolete at flight. not that this game will last that long. pyramids last forever

I always like the facial expression of your old avatar, Dagh, but it makes for one VERY ugly woman!!!

A deeeep philosophical question arises

Tubby Rower · Sep 26, 2005, 09:12 AM

GL is out. D'nuts have lit and aren't going to trade until education or til GS & immortals are on their doorstep.

Whomp · Sep 26, 2005, 09:36 AM

Daghie you're such a nut.

The pyramids could truly be overpowering in a game like this.
The wonders I see value in include Sun Tzu, Leo's, G Light, Smith's and Hoovers.

Daghdha · Sep 26, 2005, 12:27 PM

Good thing you brought up the Lighthouse

. I usually skip that one (like most of the others), but here it could be really useful. No one's seafaring so if we were the speedy gonzales of the sea we would have some advantage. If we keep a buddy relation w MIA then the key to staying ahead might be that extra sea movement.

gmaharriet · Sep 26, 2005, 06:01 PM

I'm not sure, but I think they enabled SGL's, didn't they? If any team gets one, it could be very powerful.

Own · Sep 26, 2005, 06:35 PM

I suspect we may be able to grab a wonder, the other teams may follow the "no wonder rule" and we may be able to do some hoggin.

Yes they did. We voted against that as well as barbies since we believe in skills rather than Miss Fortune

. If Nut's go for the GLib they deny themselves of the opportunity to get an SGL which is the upside of it 4 us.

Crakie · Sep 28, 2005, 01:40 AM

I'd rather we focus on clearing out our continent... no AA wonders as far as I'm concerned. If we go for one anyway or get a SGL, pyramids would be my choice.

Nikodemus · Sep 28, 2005, 11:42 AM

I'm with Crakie on this one.. Pyramids would be my first choice too but I'm not too eager to start building it (or any wonder) from scratch.

Whomp · Sep 28, 2005, 11:45 AM

I'm on board with Crakie and Niko. No wonders unless they are given through a SGL or much later in the game.

gmaharriet · Sep 28, 2005, 05:19 PM

I agree with SGL's only for anything early.

Pentium · Sep 29, 2005, 07:06 AM

I agree, they're just too expensive. Expanding and building military is a better choice.

BTW... In order to get SGL, we must do some research

. And if possible research techs unknown to the others.

soul_warrior · Sep 29, 2005, 09:21 AM

what? no cool tombs for us?
and no place to store all of our dear RYE and WHEAT? how will we brew our mystic brew?

but maybe a genius like Arthur Guiness shall appear from the mist of our drunkeness and let us open a world wide chain of breweries and grannaries?

barbslinger · Sep 29, 2005, 03:48 PM

I'm still a big fan of the pyramids. With our settler producing capability and the pyamids we could easily overpower with sheer numbers. Whomp told me this world is symetrical so the opposing teeam with similar lands will have the same opportunity. Waiting around for an SGL to get the Wonder? Those are far and few between as we all know. Plus we are not blowing the world away with our science at this point. I would like to get it started once we have about 8-9 cities up.

lets build the FP away from the core and use it as the wonder city
