There's a simple answer that I've not seen stated - and if it was, apologies for missing it. It's because Byzantium as a separate entity is more marketable. There isn't a single pack in the NFP that doesn't have recognizable civilization attached to it. I'm sure it would be just as possible to...

Colosseum (5) [8-5] for the reasons Vargas just listed. All of the remaining wonders are great if you get them. The sunk cost of Colosseum is the biggest if you miss it. Forbidden City (9) Kilwa Kisiwani (9) Temple of Artemis (18) Terracotta Army (11) [10+1] I've argued for Teracotta last time I...

Alhambra (9) Colosseum (8) [11-3] Thinking back to my usual domination games, I'd only really build it myself if I manage to conquer a city with Complex & Arena built in a convenient slot - but that's not massively different from just conquering it outright. As others have said, the benefits of...

Alhambra (31) Colosseum (38) Forbidden City (36) Kilwa Kisiwani (36) Statue of Zeus (3) [6-3] Yep, it has its uses in a domination game. That's reflected in an already high place. But you'd never build it over any of the alternatives on this list, and - honestly - how often do you actually...

Alhambra (34) Big Ben (20) Casa de Contratación (15) [18-3] Casa is absolutely essential in the games where you're planning on your colonial cities being staple of your empire. It falls off if the colonies are just shifting frontlines and the governors jump from one to another all the time. The...

Alhambra (37) Big Ben (29) Casa de Contratación (19) Colosseum (33) Forbidden City (35) [34+1] I've not upvoted FC yet, and - frankly - any of the current top 5 is equally worth grabbing, so I'll carry on splitting the votes one more time. Kilwa Kisiwani (38) Pyramids (2) (5-3) Respect to all of...

Alhambra (37) [36+1] Just cycling my upvotes through the top few wonders, as everything else is scored about how I'd score it at this stage. You will easily beat AI to this one, and the extra policy slot is never a waste. Big Ben (29) Casa de Contratación (22) Colosseum (33) Forbidden City (33)...

Alhambra (35) Big Ben (29) Casa de Contratación (22) Colosseum (31) [30+1] Cycling my upvotes through some of the wonders best aligned with conquest. All the Colosseum bonuses feed into warmonger play, and early Entertainment Complex makes more sense than most with this VC. Forbidden City (33)...

Alhambra (35) Big Ben (29) Casa de Contratación (22) Colosseum (30) Forbidden City (33) Jebel Barkal (21) Kilwa Kisiwani (36) [35+1] It's a massive boost to your yields that AI somehow continues to neglect. Well worth building, especially in one of your better developed cities, which by the...

Alhambra (34) Big Ben (28) Casa de Contratación (24) Colosseum (29) Forbidden City (33) Jebel Barkal (21) Kilwa Kisiwani (35) Mausoleum at Halicarnassus (14) Pyramids (20) Ruhr Valley (5) [8-3] I agree. I'll defend Ruhr as a very strong option for the science games, as there's normally a gap...

Alhambra (34) Big Ben (26) Casa de Contratación (26) Colosseum (27) Forbidden City (33) Great Zimbabwe (9) [12-3] Not a massive fan of Zimbabwe under the best circumstances, but especially with domination victories, it's a lot of extra setup for the gold that I'll normally not need to win...

Like @Mr. Salt said, the upvote definitely sounds like it was meant for Angkor Wat, so I moved the points accordingly. Alhambra (23) Amundsen-Scott Research Station (20) Angkor Wat (21) Apadana (21) Big Ben (22) Biosphere (20) Bolshoi Theatre (20) Broadway (8) Casa de Contratación (22) Chichen...

Previous post missed linaker's votes, I've added them back in. Alhambra(22) Amundsen-Scott Research Station(20) Angkor Wat(20) Apadana(21) Big Ben(21) Biosphere(20) Bolshoi Theatre(20) Broadway(17) Casa de Contratación(22) Chichen Itza(20) Colosseum(20) Cristo Redentor(20) Eiffel Tower(8)...

Alhambra(22) [21+1] Love the flexibility it gives you when it comes to government choices (tier 2 especially) and it should be trivial to grab if you're going for a domination game. Not the best one out, maybe, but certainly up there. Amundsen-Scott Research Station(20) Angkor Wat(20)...
