If I have Masonry, then my first build item on settling a city is usually a Wall. They require no upkeep and usually a new city can build them in 10-20 turns, which is using dead time till the city grows to two and I can build a worker.
The Great Wall though is the booby prize of the Great Wonders in CivIII. The only reason I see AI civs build it is because its the only thing left once the Ancient Era wonder rush. All of a sudden you'll see such and such has built the Pyramids, then someone has to switch from it so it is usually then Hanging Gardens or Great Library, then some other civ builds the remainder out of those two and then the Great Wall is built (assuming of course the other wonders have been completed).
Is there any articles that list the priority or significance of Wonders to the AI or do they just try to build them all when they the appropiate technology ?
