Do you all have any general thoughts on which non-Wonder city buildings are relatively low priority? I know it varies from game to game, and I know it depends on Victory Condition, but I'm still wondering whether there are some buildings with a generally high cost-to-benefit ratio.
By way of background, I usually play on Emperor, though I occasionally try Immortal. In general I try to focus on science-producing buildings (Library, University, National College, etc.), some of which I buy. I fear, though, that I end up building too much other stuff too. I almost never build barracks, but I almost always build monuments, shrines, markets, water mills (if available), workshops, stoneworks, windmills, factories, and other production/money focused things. I usually build a granary, less often the hospital; I don't build the stable unless the requisite resources are at hand. By necessity I build many happiness things. I tend to give cultural stuff lower priority unless going for a culture win.
Any thoughts on this? I apologize if it's been asked and answered; I found a couple older threads sort of on point, but they were pre-G&K. Thanks.
