We're coming to a point where several small Wonders are becoming a possibility. This thread is to nail not where and when (and if) we should build them. The three I'm most interested in right now are the Military Academy, the Heroic Epic, and Wall Street.
Military Academy: With Military Tradition coming in 5 turns, it's time we start thinking about whether or not we want this Wonder. True, we don't have a leader yet. But I believe we're still decided that our first leader should make an army (if that's not the case, please let me know). Benefits: We'd be able to build armies without leaders, which is always nice if we decide to get hawkish some time in the future. Possible City Sites: Fanatikku seems like the best choice. It is currently our main military producing city, so giving it the ability to build armies seems natural.
Heroic Epic: This Wonder hinges on the same set of conditions as the Academy, so it's still hyopthetical as to when we would get it. Benefits: More chance of getting leaders means more armies/ more free rushes in our cities. Possible City Sites: Since it doesn't matter where this Wonder is built, any high producing city could build it (Shorin-Ryu, Zojoji, Odawara, Fanatikku, and Immo are our top 5)
Wall Street: With Shorin-Ryu set to complete its bank in 8 turns (thereby bringing the total in our country up to 5) this Wonder is something we should start planning right away. Hopefully, we can get a pre-build of this up by the next Turnchat. Benefits: Earning interest on our treasury means more money for us. Possible City Sites: Same as the Epic, it doesn't really matter where, so it's a choice between our top 5 (unless someone has another suggestion).
Obviously, the first two Small Wonders are more hypothetical, but Wall Street is something we should start thinking about right away. Anyway... discuss!!
