Marble question

[Thunderbull]

Hi everyone!

Please answer on this question - i can't find an answer by myself (i'm not lazy, just spend all time to play only and never reload) - does sale of marble revoming wonder prod bonus from city or not? i think no, but it is better to be sure
and - is this bonus applies to whole civilization or only to city-owner?

Not sure on the first question but i'm fairly certain it only affects that specific city it's in, not the entire empire.

how?
hex must have a citizen?
hex must be within 3 hexes from city?
what if hex in my territory within cultral borders but out of city border? only happiness?

1. Selling marble does not remove the wonder production bonus.

2. The wonder production bonus is only in cities with marble as a workable tile (that is, withing three tiles from the city).

3. If you have marble (or any resource) within 3 tiles of multiple cities, they all get the bonuses.

I think that the Hex must only be on the 'exploitable' domain of the city.

Hence if you have a marble hex (with quarry) between two cities that could be exploited by any of those, it is up for you to choose which one could benefit it. You can simpley re-allocate it via the city screen.

Also, if you have a marble resource distant of 4 or more hexes from any of your city, but within your cultural frontiers, you can bild a quary on it a get the happiness bonus and the trade velue, but no city will have the 25% bonus on wonders.

That said,
- you do not need a citizen to work it to get the bonus on wonders
- you do not need any road
- you are not loosing the bonus if you trade the marble away

To check when the bonus on wonder apply, simply start a wonder in a city containing wonder and mouse over the hammers (city screen) to have the breakdown of the bonuses.

It is interesting to note that although the economy menu gives you the number of hammer available from the tiles of each city, the city screen gives you the number of hammers corresponding to the ongoing production, that is applying the various bonuses to building, unit or wonders.

If you are sure of it one of my answer should be disregarded. Thanks for the tip.

No. I've tested this and it looks like, currently, it goes to the city "who would have claimed (or did claim) it first." I settled 1 city 2 tiles from marble and another city right next to the marble. Only the first city could use it's bonus despite the second city being right next to it.

But then, what if you change the marble tile of hands? I mean, swap it between the 'exploitable' 'clear' tile of a city within the city screen?

I believe I tried that too and still no go.
