All Leader Challenger
I've been playing on Immortal for some time now with some success. Here's my list:
World Wonders--always build or attempt:
I don't bother with most of the early game wonders. Some of them (Stonehenge, Oracle) are on a tech path I don't bother with--I'm busy pursuing military/worker techs instead. Also, I prefer to divert my resources to an invading army for an early rush, which I find pays bigger dividends than any wonder possibly could. However, I will pursue some wonders depending on the situation. To wit:
World Wonders--always build or attempt:
- Great Library
- Taj Mahal
- Statue of Liberty
- Cristo Redentor
- Eiffel Tower
- Three Gorges Dam
- The Kremlin
I don't bother with most of the early game wonders. Some of them (Stonehenge, Oracle) are on a tech path I don't bother with--I'm busy pursuing military/worker techs instead. Also, I prefer to divert my resources to an invading army for an early rush, which I find pays bigger dividends than any wonder possibly could. However, I will pursue some wonders depending on the situation. To wit:
- Great Lighthouse: started with Fishing and obtained Sailing early, the map lends itself to lots of coastal cities, there are several other civs with potential coastal trade routes nearby, the capital is coastal with excellent production and several forests for chopping
- Colossus: obtained Metal Casting early, have lots of seafood tiles in several cities (and inland lakes in coastal cities' fat crosses), have a source of copper
- The Pentagon: pursuing a late-game domination win
- The Spiral Minaret/University of Sankore: playing as a spiritual leader for cheap temples and with a source of stone
- The Great Wall: have a source of stone and obtained Masonry early; map lends itself to lots of barbs (i.e. a northern/southern start with lots of tundra and ice nearby I won't be settling anytime soon, and few/no other civs nearby); I plan on playing peacefully (no one nearby to rush) and don't need the XPs from barbs
- Rock & Roll, Hollywood, Broadway: need the extra resources for trading; especially helpful for obtaining additional resources for corporations; or I'm going for a cultural victory
- Heroic Epic
- National Epic
- Moai Statues (I prefer to wait and build this when I have stone)
- Forbidden Palace
- Oxford University
- Ironworks
- West Point
- Wall Street
