If I'm doing a OCC challenge and I miss out on a good wonder I usually reload some turns back to make sure I get it, although I usually only do that for very important wonders such as Petra, especially when I play as Morocco, damn they're so good in defense as they're in producing food, production and gold from their Kasbeh.

If it goes badly for me early (beat to a wonder and city sites) I'll just restart. If it's a later wonder I just get over it.

I hate to admit it...but I do occasionally. But, I'm trying to break myself of this habit completely as I enjoy games more when I just take the hit and move on.
My latest game I broke my rule though when: I started on an island as Polynesia with NINE wines, and I got beat to monasteries by just a few turns. Funny thing is...the other AI has no reason to take monasteries...I have all the world's wines on my island...but they just like buildings. I found out that I had a game full of religious nuts. 3 religions enhanced with reformation beliefs by turn 90...ridiculous. I made religion 4 when I enhanced and took reformation beliefs by turn 95.
It was immortal so the only reason they were beating me is they all started with Piety, but I still feel bad about reloading...even though I have a sweet religion now. I guess I'm more likely to reload in the beginning, when I feel sinking that many turns into something I lost may cost the game.

Perfectly understandable. To have that kind of start without monasteries would be an atrocity.

I'll ragequit (it's more a sighquit actually) with Petra too, on Deity. Because, I gambled my game on it. So, if I loose Petra, I have nearly loose the game.
Otherwise, I ended to reload a couple of months ago. It's a part of the game to be beat for a wonder and a place to settle. But, don't feel bad if you reload, it's a game, play how you want.

If i have a amazing desert location and miss Petra, yes i will. anything else, no.
Very rarely. I do if i intended to do something (and didnt), or misclicked something. generally its in misplays or mistakes, but anything gameplay wise i never do. I used to do it a lot more in things like Civ 3 because there was no sweetner if you were beat to a wonder. now though you get fail gold, which mitigates the turns you spent pouring into production.

My last game as Morocco I missed Petra, Desert Folklore and got beat to every cty state quest that mattered. I didn't reload I just quit pre turn 100.
Petra is such a . Rushing commerce while builidng up your science as much as possible, the insane speed at which the AI gets it, this wonder drives me crazy.

No. I will sometimes ragequit when I get beaten to a city site, but not reload. As for wonders, that's a risk you accept when you go for a wonder.
