Marble or Stone?

[Transkar]

Which would you rather have posession of?

 

[Blaarg]

Hmm...I dunno, i seem to like marble wonders more.

Stone in ancient/classical. Marble from classical onwards.

Depends on difficulty level. At Monarch or below, Stone. Emperor or above, Marble, as I probably won't go for Pyramids or any of the other Stone world wonders.

 

[DigitalBoy]

Before BtS, I would have said stone for Pyramids and Notre Dame. But with the revamped golden ages, I prefer marble for the Mausoleum of Maussollos and the Great Library. Stone is still nice for getting the Moai Statues up faster.

 

[Esgaro]

If I am going for a specialist economy, then stone for the pyramids. Otherwise, probably marble for the great library.

 

[ezwip]

I prefer stone.

 

[L4zXX0r]

Tough call. I'm going to say stone here. I'm a huge fan of building the Pyramids for an early great engineer specialist.

 

[TheLastOne36]

Stone. I should have enough production alone to get later/marble wonders.

Depends on difficulty you are playing at. lower difficulty, you probably want stone. It gives you pyramid, the rest you can get it without discount if you have good production cities.

If you play on deity though, even with stone, more often then not you will not get pyramid, and even if you got pyramid, without marble, most of the marble wonders will be snatched up by AI. So its a toss up, depends on what kind of wonders you really want.

A stone in Warlords, a marble in BTS is useful.

 

[0R4NG3]

Definitely stone. Stone wonders are by far more useful. The only marble wonder I can't do without is Oracle and it is pretty cheap anyway. (I play on Emperor, so don't know anything about immortal or diety).

 

[Soneji]

If I see stone near my start I am laughing.

You can always get marble later, although both seem very rare to me in the majority of my games!

 

[Stylesrj]

Stone. Pyramids FTW

 

[bonafide11]

Stone is big early but there seems to be way more marble wonders later on.

 

[King of Town]

would have been a good poll. Marble because there aren't many stone wonders it seems like. It may be even for all I know, but it seems like marble has more. Stone does eem more rare though. You canusually just go to one of the poles for marble, but stone usually seems to elude me.

 

[Blaarg]

I ussually have no problem building the Pyramids without stone, and aside from the Pyramids, Marble has better wonders IMO.

 

[ArneHD]

I prefer stone, simply due to better wonders.

 

[TM Moot]

marble ever time!!

 

[TheRealCzar]

Ever start with both beside a high prod capital...mmmmmmm wonder spamming.
