Marble - does it help with wonder building in CiV?

[AriochIV]

All wonders?? Even the ones that are not built...nevermind. Are there any other resources that offer a wonder production bonus?

No, just marble. And yes, that's a dumb simplification.

Yes. Gold from puppet cities taking care your Maritime city-state bribes

How about getting marble from other civ ?

There was one game where I trade for a marble from other Civ, but do not recall getting the bonus. I manually compare the PPT for a wonder, it didn't reduce even with that marble trade.

Thoughts?

No.

Marble's 25% wonder production bonus only applies to a city that can work the marble tile with quarry built on it.

I'm not sure how that'll work on two cities that overlap over a marble tile though. My guess is that they both recive bonus from it but I haven't actually seen this situation in game.

I see, that's the problem.

Go to city with access to marble, open the city screen, set production to any wonder and check the production details. You will see that the bonus of 25% is added to your production.
Plus I always get notification - hey your city have access to marble, go for wonder building

Indeed, it's 25% (from C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\sid meier's civilization v\Assets\Gameplay\XML\Terrain):

It's also the only resource in that file that has a WonderProductionMod tag.

Me too. Generally, the Economy Advisor says it is better choice.
When I am playing Egypt, I always look for marbles. Last game, I just expanded like crazy (I had The Oracle, The Great Wall, Stonehenge, National Epic, Monument... from what I remember) and had a nice production and economy (lots of Luxurys)... until the Demo ended
