Captured Wonders

[Dallas2099]

When you have captured cities with Wonders already built, are the effects lost?

 

[Louis the XIV]

If you conquer an enemy city that has a wonder build then the effects are not lost. Only for wonders like Stonehenge which give your cities free buildings.

The effects remain, but the culture the wonders produce do not, so they are "lost".

Some wonders give instant benefits, however, like the population increase from the Hanging Gardens. This is sort of lost, because you didn't built it yourself. The free monuments from Stonehenge remains too (though not if you capture it after Astronomy, which itself obsoletes monuments -- or was it SciMethod? I forget)

It's Astro

It is Astronomy, and SciMethod obsoletes Monasteries if I remember correctly.

 

[Louis the XIV]

SciMethod obsoletes so much stuff I usually try and research it as late as possible. But even that's not possible because I can't let all the other Civs get airships before me!

I can't let the other civs get a free GS and a free GS before me!

I agree, the techs following Scientific Method make Scientific Method an interesting choice in late game victories.

I usually aim for the Scientific Method path because there are so many good wonders that are allowed!

Wanted to answer this aswell, only the and / turn (CPT) is lost.

Seraiel,

Nice to see you again. I went to look at your - <CIV Illustrated #2 - Case studies - city placement> - but all of the images just show a message that they are not available, which makes the descriptions rather moot.
