Relative difficulty/competition of building wonders

[Victoria]

If you look at your list it seems the hard ones are early and the late ones are easy. This is because you normally are ahead late.

I suggest that you look at https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/if-you-really-want-that-wonder.608628/ and consider what I suggest above. I suspect the combination of the civs you have and the age of the wonder to a degree manages your chances.

For example Catherine is the only person targeted to build Eiffel tower, Trajan for estadio. If they are not in the game there is no-one prioritizing it

Interesting list. Do you know how large the modifier is? I'm wondering if there are other modifiers. Which file did you find this in? It may be just chance, but I feel like there are others I've seen target certain wonders. I think I've seen Victoria snag Big Ben two or three times, for example. Maybe it's just what that civ is focusing on in that game, like culture civs targeting Bolshoi Theatre/Broadway. But why is Broadway targeted so much more than Cristo Redentor? It's not just Mvembe and TR that I've seen go for Broadway instead.

Not near my pc now but its with all the other setting and it just has that list.
If you want to know more ask @Magil as he has a nice wonder mod.

Broadway gives around 50 tourism. Yes Cristo's seaside is Ok but the rest only effect religious items as does enlightenment.

I mostly agree, but Venetian Arsenal needs to be moved to the same category as Great Zimbawe. I have literally NEVER seen the AI build it, not even on island maps.

It has specific requirements that it is unlikely the AI has programmed in

It's very unusual to have an industrial zone next to the coast.

 

[Victoria]

Indeed so they may have programmed in

1. Industrial zones pkaced near lots of mines
2. Do I have an IZ next to the coast?... No, ok I will not go Venetian

Btw, I play lots of Naval but only once bothered with Venetian. It not like you need a large Navy

Hey so I finally played enough this patch to feel comfortable updating this. In general, I feel that the AI is either less interested in wonders now, or just got worse at meeting the qualifications. Wonders usually seem easier to get, so I've moved a bunch down in ranks. I've also taken out a lot from the "varies greatly" category, as I feel a fair number of those are easier to get, with a few being harder now (like Big Ben).
Tell me what you guys think. For the new wonders, I've never seen the AI build Apadana, so I may move it even lower. I didn't feel it deserved the lowest category--yet anyway. Mausoleum I feel varies a fair amount, but I'm not sure, so I'm looking for input on that one.

I've seen Russia build Apadana once. On Prince.

Have not seen Apadana built by any AI...they don't seem to care about it at all, even the Wonder hungry civs.

The AI seems to target the Hanging Gardens more aggressively now, and I've even had a handful of games where it went before Stonehenge.

If anything, I feel it's easier now, but still targeted a fair amount. I've moved it down a couple spots.
