Best Wonder Combination

[pushka]

So, what's everyone's favourite Wonder combination in RON?

For starters, I build Terracotta Army because of the free troops - great for defence and are the beginnings of a pretty good army. Then I wait a bit and build the Kremlin to raise my commerce limits and also because I always play as the Russians. Finally, I'll build the Supercollider so all the top library research can be researched on the spot!

 

[IronMan2055]

all of them

 

[Tekee]

I always play as Russians or Dutch or Americans

But for the Russians I make the statue of Liberty for no Attrition for my troops bascially
Then I make the Kremlin mostly for the extra attrition, but Commerce is nice

So with so much Attrition no one attacks me which is nice, but i am still a big noob at this game but I won my share of games yay

The Colossus. The extra population bonus is the only thing that lets you win an endless war (90% of my games, I'm not a rusher. I prefer booming...)

The collosus (cause I like playing low pop games to aviod massive building up, and collosus gives a clear advantege), then the terra cota army, and then versies (yeah, i cannot spell | because healling units on the battlefield is another awesome advantege)

 

[Tekee]

I only like Terra Cota Army if I play as Amexicans

 

[riseofnations99]

the terracottaarmy is my first thing to make,i play as the americans because the first wonder is built instantly. so i make the terracottaarmy first, collosus, forbittan city(optional). kremlin(commerce). the space program. i dominate without missles

Combination:

- Super Collider
- Kremlin
- Pyramid
- Space Program

I usually play the Egyptians or the Americans, and I like the Terra Cotta Army for the free troops, and I like the Eiffel Tower for the free oil, and Space Program.

I mostly play on the Atlantic Sea Power map, so in my last game I did Forbidden City (bonus major city), Colossus, Terra Cotta Army, Red Fort, and finally Statue of Liberty (which won me a 10 point Wonder victory). If I had disabled the Wonder Victory, I would have gone for the Supercollider and Space Program, followed by a massive attack (I had Two enemies declare war, so I was preparing to attack (mega-tank army style) when I won.)

Terra Cotta Army + The Colossus
Free units with extra population, what's not to love?

I admit, I also like to build Versailles for the healing wagons (I rarely play as the French), but it is bad synergy with the Terra Cotta Army.

Wonders are of very little importance in RoN. If you play an intermediate player or higher and try to build wonders early on you will never reach gunpowder.
Most good players are attacking by age III, so if you spent all your resources for an early wonder good luck defending against an attack.

As wonders go though, terra cotta is one of the worst!!!! by far, men take to long to be produced. Colusus is a very good wonder for the extra 50 population your allowed.

Good players usually never start building wonders till gunpowder or later cause of all the early fighting, you need to attack and raid early when it counts to get the advantage, waiting for a huge army later in the game (usually around industrial with tanks) is a beginners style of play getting a feel for the game. Same as CIV4, if you try to boom and have no army or small army you will get killed fast, these games are all about the fighting.

its not much of a combo, but my favorite wonders have to be the french palace(versailles or something, not sure of the spelling), and the indian fort (Ankgor Wat)

Im kind of a lazy player, so these wonders help make up for that. Mountains tend to be scattered all over the place, they are usualy divided between territories, and its a general pain to send citizens all over the place to hook your mountains up. Not to mention that a boarder mountain may have 10 citizen capacity one minuet, and 3 citizens the next, and 7 the minuet after that.
The Ankgor Wat's metal bonus helps make up for unfilled mines and any hidden mountains you may have but have not tapped yet. Its main bonus, cheaper troops, is also extreamly appealing.

The palace of versailles is nice because with only a supply wagon, you can heal your entire army, even in enemy territory! Protecting your troops from attrition is nice enough, but being able to heal them is even better. It saves me the trouble of having to garrison and ungarrison every single injured unit over and over again.

Terra cotta- troops are always good
colossis- I'm terrible 'bout finishing games. The last epic war needs a little push
Effiel- Free upgrades
Space- embargo free nukes and intelligence. another need for the final war

Pyramids - only build them as Americans, +1 city cap and cheaper cities really helped early games

Colossus - great wonder to have, wealth + wood bonus, extra pop cap, worth the investment

Hanging Gardens - i sometimes build them, especially when playing americans, 200 wealth 200 food for +50 knowledge is a great investment, not to mention it save you a lot of resources upgrading your economy(and you could make a bigger army maybe)

Terra cotta - worst wonder, i would build some scholars and citizens instead.

Forbidden city - that could be a life saver when nuclear war started or you are surprise-attacked, a very special wonder, i build them sometimes just for building another university though.

Ankor Wat - one of the best wonders to have, cheaper barracks units,ships,siege units and metal bonus(which you definitely needs for tanks/ships/cavalry/heavy infantry)

Red Fort - too expensive, maybe building them as british is more helpful

Colosseum - i only build this when i want my enemies to have fun with attrition

Temple of Takai - i hate this wonder

Versailles - great wonder to have

Taj Mahal - you need invincible cities for nuclear wars.

Statu of Liberty - not especially useful compare to other wonders, i quite like the bonus though, counters those damn Russians.

Kremlin - great wonder to have good economy, the +1 free spy just make it more awesome

Eiffel Tower - when i lacks oil, rarely built them, i prefer spending on a few more oil rigs/cities with refineries, however, it's a tough wonder

supercollider - i used to stack up loads of unused wealth, this wonder could be good, instant research is great too, especially if you libraries keep getting bombed, but they are too expensive in case i have too many wonders around

space program - it's important to know where you should fire your missiles and nukes, cheaper planes makes it even more awesome.

I really like The Collusus, however, I'm not really a big wonder builder. Depending on the nation that I'm playing as, I build different wonders (sometimes to rarely) in order to boost myself.

However, the best cheap wonder is The Collusus
