hehehe... Golden Ages have saved my butt twice now (the latest with GOTM9). I was playing Egypt and had changed my production from Oracle to Hanging Gardens. Lost 73 shields in the process. I tried switching to the Great Library but it did not work - did not give me techs that the nearest civ had (one problem i need help in). And walla! instant Golden Age. Because of that I built barracks on every city and started churning out dozens of swordsmen. My foe is still a bit strong after my half-century warmongering but their capital will be mine in just a while. :)

GA also helped me in my second game ever. Corruption was killing my far-flung cities until GA helped me build the Forbidden Palace. what a game saver!

But what are the chances of tripping a GA? So far only luck has helped me get it (what a mess my game would be now if I chose GLibrary instead!)
 
I prolly not even gonna get a GA in the GOTM9, its WAY too late for War Chariots to kill anything so my only hope is a Wonder but Im too far behind in tech so the AI always gets them!

Is there any Small Wonders that can give a GA for Egyptians?

You can try to attack an enemy with only one hitpoint left, in my case (with the Babylonian Archer) I always get it.

No, there is no Small Wonder for Egypt that could trigger a GA.
 
Build the Pyramids if u're Egyptian. U can normally get it on any level except Diety. Just start early.
 
build any wonder which has the same characteristics as you civiliztaion e.g. commercial scientific (normally you have to build 2)
for example say if you were the persians they are scientific cmmercial if you were to build
the great library - scientific
adam smiths - commercial
you would probabl get a golden age
