I generally play OCC at Prince for now, as Gandhi of India. What would you guys suggest running for National Wonders for a SE, and Space Victory? Currently, I use:
National Epic
Oxford
Globe Theater
Iron Works
National Park
Would there be, as an old teacher said, a "more-better" choice of National Wonders? And if I have Coal, say from a trade, or inside my boundaries, but not in the fat cross, or even within the cross, but with NAt'l Forest, will I gain the bonus of IW?
In addition, I have another question, is NAtional Park worthy of a spot? I like it, but many others don't for some reason. I generally leave about 4-6 Forested Grasslands for Preserves, as the other 14 tiles have either farms, workshops or mines, with a surplus of food for more specialists. Would there be a reason to mow them down? I mean, the forested grassland gives 2 food and 1 Shield. Enough for a specialist and a citizen and 1 Hammer. The farm gives 4 food and no hammers(I can't recall if RRs give another food. Don't think so though).
And finally, how effective have you found Corporations to be? With such a small amount of supplies within my empire, I find them negligable, and I don't recall being able to tap into my neighbor's sources if I found a branch there(though I may be wrong on that part). At 0percent research, I'm usually rolling in dough, so all I needed them for was extra food(SS/SM) for more specialist beakers.
