Must have wonders

[MXB]

I tried a search to find if this thread exists but the search thingy was defective so here I go anyways. An old chestnut I'm sure but here's my list:

Ancient:
none

Medieval:
J.S. Bach's Cathedral (this is the game decider, if I don't get it I've lost)
Darwin's Voyage
Magellan's Expedition

Modern:
Women's Suffrage (to start the Fighting Republic at which point I begin to mop up)
Hoover Dam

I can understand your other choices but why do you find Darwin's Voyage so important?

 

[Jops]

Mine: Colossus and Women's Suffrage.

I also avoid Darwins Voyage.

Occasionally Shakesperes Theatre can be useful when you go to a higher government early and use a large city as a military factory.

Womens Suffrage depends on whether I'm still fighting then.... or I may decide to use diplomats with my new found funds.

I used to love The Great Library. It was much more useful back then than it is now. Especially when I played with the Indians and Egyptians - they'd always do extremely well, research-wise.

I guess it's nothing I can quantify. I just know that if I can build Darwin's Voyage everything is on track. Besides 2 advances for the cost of 300 shields is a bargain.

It is probably a play style thing. I'm a building fanatic.

I found that I frequently gunned for Pyramids.

The must have wonder is the Pyramids. The ability to switch back and forth from Government to Government is vital to any strategy, plus they don't become obsolete until Communism which if you discover correctly can be right near the end of the game.

If I had to rank my top five it would be these:

1. Pyramids
2. Women’s Suffrage
3. J.S. Bach's Cathedral

Colossus! Of course
When I was 7 years old and I played civ the first time I always built the Colossus!
Later in the game I used to build the Hover dam.

For TWAYF, there are 6 core wonders:
Colossus
J. S. Bach's
Cure for Cancer
Copernicus's Observatory
SETI
Hoover Dam

Would you please tell me what does TWAYF stand for?

 

[trada]

A quick google and this post showed up. TWAYF = The World At Your Feet. I'd knock off the Cure for Cancer and Hoover Dam but thats just me.

 

[lndm]

TWAYF = The World At Your Feet.

I should have guessed that The urban dictionary let me down and that doesn't happen often.
