v1.52 - Can Buy Wonders

[Smegma]

Was playing a MP game with my wife tonight and we noticed that you could buy wonders (Rock N Roll, Eiffel Tower, etc.)

I assume this is not normal, as I don't remember it happening before the patch.

if you have the right civic you can buy anything... you can also slave rush anything - even wonders.

I was able to do this in previous patches

There are a few things you can't rush, like spaceship components, and projects like Manhatten, but great wonders can always be rushed if you have enough gold or population and the appropriate civics. The expense is usually prohibitive, but in the late industrial age it becomes more practical. It's been in the game since 1.0.

Rock 'n' Roll is a project, isn't i? I might be mistaken there. You can't rush projects, but you can wonders - and you could in 1.00.

 

[History_Buff]

Rock 'n' roll is not a project. I think only Manhatten and Apollo, plus the spaceship components are projects, and these alone cannot be rushed, even with Engineers.

 

[MrCynical]

The Internet is also a project, not a wonder, and also I think SDI defense.
