Now why would you need some Immortals Lee?
I have assembled a force of warriors too, once I get the cash I'll upgrade them and probably go on a romp just to get my golden age started. That is, once I have settled all the land I still plan to claim. There is nothing like GA production to get all the planned marketplaces up and running
On a different note, I believe counting the free granaries overpowers the Pyramids in the scoring. The points for the shield cost, the improve growth rate and the reduced maintenance cost should be rewards enough. Otherwise, it is one of two wonders worth building under QSC, the other being Sun Tzu. Without the points for free granaries, some setups would call for an early Oracle or Hanging Gardens for happiness, other setups would call for the Great Library for free access to technology, and some setups might even call for the Great Lighthouse to create a brokering situation.
In any case, this is just my opinion. Giving too much weight to any wonders creates a false sense of 'I must have it'. Granted that on this map the Pyramids is THE wonder to build.
Edit: Oh and looking back at the mini maps, it looks like James, and maybe ControlFreak, are the only one to have secured the horses so far. Good move James, now get some workers out and build some roads
