Ever triggered a GA by building or capturing a Great Wonder

King Of America · Sep 23, 2003

Yes, by building a Great Wonder.

Yes, by capturing a Great Wonder.

No, I always trigger Golden Ages by winning a battle with a Unique Unit.

No, I have never had a Golden Age.

Padma · Sep 23, 2003

Yes, both by building and by capturing Great Wonders.

Superevie · Sep 23, 2003

I've gotten it from building a Great wonder and winning a battle with my UU. I've never gotten my GA from capturing, but I have captured Great wonders before. It is the greatest feeling when your Military Advisor tells you the good news. :drool:

I usually get my golden ages thanks to wonders.

Oystein · Sep 23, 2003

I skipped military tradition last time I played the russian. So I had to get my GA by wonders.

Getting a GA from capturing Great Wonders? Never seen that before. Are you sure about this?

In my last game I triggered my GA as Germany with great wonders instead of the tank (Universal Suffrage and Theory of Evolution)

Padma · Sep 23, 2003

Aggie: If you capture Wonders that have the necessary characteristics to trigger your GA, then yes, it will be triggered! It has caused many an "unplanned" GA by warmongers who were unaware of it.

da_greatest · Sep 23, 2003

I thought the way it worked was after you have captured wonders with the needed traits, any wonder you build will trigger the GA.

Padma · Sep 23, 2003

Aargh, yes, that's what I meant. I just phrased it (very) poorly)

gunnerxtr · Sep 23, 2003

thats new to me also i never knew u could capture a wonder and have it spark a golden age

Padma · Sep 23, 2003

As da_greatest pointed out, you have to capture the Wonders, and then build any other wonder, to trigger your GA.

Moonsinger · Sep 23, 2003

Let me see if I understand this correctly. For example, if you are playing French (Comercial civ), if you capture the Pyramid, then build the Colossus, you will trigger your Golden Age. On the other hand, if you build the Colossus first then capture the Pyramid, you won't trigger your Golden Age.

I was able to captue an enemy city, i had a couple of Knits close to it. I wanted to make sure to get it so iwaited one more turn for reinforcement.

During that turn the oponent finished the sixtine chapel, and voila captured the sixtine chapel that turned on my GA.

One turn earlier, no sixtine chapel, no GA.

I think you understand correctly, but Colossus isn't a commercial wonder.

I triggered GA many times by building the Great Wonder, as for capturing one to be onest I didn't know for that rull but maybe it's happened before in my early games 5 -6 mounths ago when I was not awerig of that at all.

DS_Legionary · Sep 23, 2003

I've done it both ways before. I prefer getting by my UU though. Cause, usually when I'm getting with my UU that means I'm at war, and the added production really helps to turn the tide to your favor.

Xerol · Sep 23, 2003

But the colossus IS a commercial wonder...the +1 gold to every square worked that has one gold is a dead giveaway...and it just says it in the civilopedia as well

da_greatest · Sep 23, 2003

That's not what my civilopedia says. I checked during a game and what mine says is correct.

Roxtar · Sep 24, 2003

I usually got a GA by building 2 Great Wonders, 1 for each of my civ's traits. The exception was my most recent game, when I played as the Romans, warmongered, & got a GA through my 1st Legionary battle vic.

fourth_wise_man · Sep 24, 2003

The colossus is commercal. Check the editor. Go to Improvements and Wonders and look at the bottom left.
