Wonder Building Time?

[Plexus]

With our ever growing empire and stabilizing military, we'll have some extra production. I would like to find out if we want to build any wonders and if so, what ones and where? And with wonderwhore Babylon to the south, if we want to build a wonder, we need to start as soon as possible.

We currently have the techs to build the following wonders:

-The Pyramids
-The Colossus
-The Oracle

We will soon have the techs to build the following wonders:

-The Great Library
-The Great Lighthouse
-The Hanging Gardens

The Pyramids, Library, and Gardens may be useful. Of course, I'll wait for someone else to weigh in...

 

[GenMarshall]

Well, I would like to see the Great Library to be build once we get literacy .

 

[Vander]

The Pyramids will let us take full advantage of our quick terraforming ability. With our doubled growth, we'll be able to use modified tiles faster than without. Besides, the Pyramids is one of the only wonders that does not expire.

Are any other civs working on any of these great projects?

 

[Cyc]

Check the screenshots thread on the main page, donsig. It's still current.

I am against wonders now. We have lousy cities. It'll take ages and the loss in production of settlers, workers, culture and military will be greater than the gain the wonder gives, no matter what wonder we (you) choose.

 

[Chieftess]

I'm against them too, and there's drumbeats from the south... We need to tread carefully, not build wonders. Babylon *IS* much stronger than us, and that's a natrual pretense for the AI to attack and/or make demands.

Then a no to a wonder at this point in time. I will continue growing our empire and building military per general concensus.

Very good decision. Building about 15-20 additional veteran units instead of a Wonder should allow us to capture the Wonder city. If it is close enough. A pity that The Pyramids are (currently) being built by the distant Germans. But at least they are on the same continent as we are.
