Enemy City Wonders

[nosehair16]

how do i tell:

#1) which city has a given wonder
#2) if a given city has any wonders.

You can find out the following ways:

-Visit the city yourself. When you visit it, you'll see that the map graphics display it (wonders are the most conspicuous buildings, & they are rarely ommited in the map graphics when the city is large).

-Spy on the rivals. That may be done with a spy, a caravel, a submarine, or getting enough espionage points (if on BtS) to see the rival's cities.

-Chech the "Power Graph" screen. You'll see only the top 5 cities worldwide, & you may not know which ones are they unless you know the civ to which that city pertains to.

-If you're so desperate, you can enter the World Builder & check the cities yourself, especially when using the "Edit City" tool (only doable in offline single player without limiting the editability in-game).

EDIT: I also forgot to mention that the buildings would be visible via map trading, but will only be accurate by the date the map corresponds to.

On the "top 5" wonders screen, if a city is visible to you (ie. you have units next to it), if you scroll down that list, when you check the wonder list on the right, it tells if it's in a city you can see.

1. "Visit the city yourself. When you visit it, you'll see that the map graphics display it (wonders are the most conspicuous buildings, & they are rarely ommited in the map graphics when the city is large)."

2. "Spy on the rivals. That may be done with a spy, a caravel, a submarine, or getting enough espionage points (if on BtS) to see the rival's cities[/I]."

You can't visit the city (#1) unless you haven't enough espionage points. If you have, I think you only have to "click" on the city bar, and then scroll through buildings [see pic. 1]

If it doesn't tell you the city it was built, it will tell you the year. You can then go into the log, scroll to the year, and click on the entry and it will center the map on where it was built.

Actually, I think he means actually sending a unit over there and looking at the buildings on the map.

Aside from spying on the city with a spy, you have to look at the map and work out which wonders it has. Some are easy to spot. Others, not so much.

Adding to this topic: will you receive same benefit from captured wonders as if you had built them yourself?

You don't get the culture, but you get all the other stuff.

wasn't one of the new things in 3.19 a "hold your horses, let me see the city first" option when you captured one?

If there is such an option, I realy really want it. Can anybody confirm or maybe enlighten if there is a mod/patch/whayever that does this?

 

[nosehair16]

ya, that option is in the game. no need for strange mods.

Ohh, I see, but then you just fix the open borders, step in and ZOOM, look at the map

I just recently saw where I had enough EP to click on my opponents city and see what was going on in it. Pretty crazy!

I never had done this before and thought at first that since I could click into it that it was my city. So I started moving troops to it to defend it....then realized it was showing 100% German when I moved my pointer over it...tripped me out.

I like the option that was added to 3.19, but my favorite mod "WolfRevolution" isn't set up to run in that version...so stuck until I find a new mod to my liking.
