help me with empire

[LordJacky]

Well I've read the article, quite true, I just can't stand the fact that they have it and I don't. Oh well I've done what they said, and chosen must have wonders, which for me is that art of war thing because it leads to a great military still can't decide on the rest of my must have wonders. If you guys could tell me yours it might help me decide.

ToE is usually the first wonder I get - that leads to Hoover.

 

[JDAllison]

Yeah, I can't even remember the last time I built a wonder in the AA . . . . Shoot, I rarely build any wonders until I get a shot at Cope's, Newton's, the occasional JS Bach, Clark's, and Leo's. The only two that are "must haves" are Clark's and Leo's. That's about it, I think. Oh, yeah, I usually shoot for ToE and Hoover, too. Those are great, but not gamebreakers for me.

I just can't stand the fact that they have it and I don't

Take it from them! Let them spend their shields and time on it while you are building something much more worthwhile, and then take it from them.

What are must have wonders is a function of the game settings and your style. I consider GLB a must have at Sid and I try my best to get it. After that I only expect to get UN as I want to be sure no one can vote me out of the game.

If you are playing some thing like Emperor, you can go for a few of the Middle Age wonders.

If you are playing below that, build as many as you feel like, as the AI can do nothing about you.

 

[AutomatedTeller]

It depends.

On a lowlevel 20K game, everything is mine except for wonders that expire before I can build 'em.

On a SID 20K game, I take what I can get in the AA, then most of the high culture ones are mine. Sometimes you have to play badly with others to get them, of course
