First of all this thread is created for Immortal and Deity but I will only speak for Immortal since I`m kind of beginner on Deity and don`t have as many hours put into it. So I urge everyone who played Immortal or Deity to share your XP and thoughts.
From my personal experience on IMMORTAL I noticed that there are few wonders that AI gives you time to build.
Ancient Era - Pyramids
Pretty easy to build most of the time because AI usually won`t go straight into Liberty policy. It also saves time in your cities to fork out workers as well as saves time on improvements throughout the entire game. That`s not all. By the time when you enter Renaissance era, with the little help from workshop specialist you can generate GE before putting all efforts on generating GS since it has 1+ to GE generation and is built early on.
Classical Era - Oracle
Can be done most of the time. Free social policy, 3+ to culture and 1 point towards GS is always useful.
Medieval Era - Machu Picchu
Really depends whether you rush Guilds first(for AG) before going to Education and if any of the AI has a mountain within 2 tiles of the Captiol. Well that`s in general because I have seen civs such as Morocco and Portugal build it in their 2nd city. Anyway, it can be done most of the time in your 2nd city if you are blessed with mountains. It has good effect on your finances as you won`t have any problems after you build it and connect cities with roads.
Renaissance era - Porcelain Tower
Can be built most of the time since AI doesn`t go into Rationalism that early. Very powerful wonder that gives you free GS for academy and 50% more science from Research agreements. In addition it gives you 2 points for GS generation. If you rush architecture early you can even build Taj Mahal simultaneously although this wonder is very coveted by AI.
Renaissance era - Uffizi
Since it requires Aesthetics, you have plenty of time to build it before AI gets it since usually AIs that go into Aesthetics are behind in science. It`s a pretty decent wonder that can give you max 12 tourism if filled properly.
Industrial era - Big Ben
Easy to get it done most of the time since it is connected to Commerce. Gives you 1+ culture and 4+ gold and really works well with Mercantilism policy and Skyscrapers Order tenet. But especially with Mercantilism policy and Mobilization Autocracy tenet. It`s like hitting a jackpot while spamming units
Industrial era - Louvre
Unless you are playing against Elizabeth who will want to unlock exploration to enhance her UA, it`s pretty easy to get it done. Very powerful wonder for your culture and tourism(+16) once properly filled.
Modern era - Prora
If you went Autocracy you can get it done every time, in a coastal city ofc. AI just doesn`t go for it. Even if you chose another ideology but had to switch, you can still get it done. Gives you free policy + some happiness.
Modern era - Neuschwanstein
If you rush railroad, this practically yours since AI goes the other path in tech tree. Also if you managed to build Machu Picchu then you will most likely get it done unless you stuck with your scientific progress somewhere along the path. Now this is a wonder you really want to have. It gives you load of culture and gold and some happiness from all your castles and on top of that you get to fortify your cities.
This is it. These are the wonders that can be built almost every time on Immortal without GE. If you have different experience please share. Also Deity experts, I urge you to share yours as well, since I`m eager to hear about Deity wonders
