Big Ben comes online just about when you are getting a large enough gpt to be buying buildings/units on a regular basis.

The Great Wall is a bit of a waste of time. Building units is a much better defense (and they can be used for other things as well).

The worst wonder is the one you never build. And on levels above King Alhambra is nearly impossible to build. The AI beelines this wonder ridiculously, it's like every leader in the game has a hard-on for this thing.

Notre Dame is great because it helps players no matter what strategy they pursue. Even if you don't build it, you'll probably be taking it sooner or later.

Great Wall- 0 Sure it has its benefits in MP, but keep in mind that most of us here likely play SP. Not only does it seldom see benefit in SP (it's a defensive building), but much like the Red Fort, when an AI gets this, they become very difficult to eliminate in the early game. And once it does become obsolete, the AI already has artillery, yet another annoying thing to deal with when on the offense.

Wait, what? You mean if you purposefully delay artillery to the very last minute, this thing can slow down enemy tanks? That's kind of ridiculous.

"General, this wall, it's stopping us from going forward. There's no dynamite in these outlying villages anywhere! I don't know how to get rid of it! These crossbowmen are just moving through this area so much faster than we are!"

It gives 3 free missionaries, so you can use your faith to something else (like pagodas and other faith buildings). With this wonder you would still have to buy missionaries with faith compared to 3 free from borobudur.

It also comes on same tech with national college, which you're gonna want ASAP anyway, and AI doesn't really prioritize it at all.

Anker Wat always has seemed lacking IMO, cheaper tiles? who cares.

Umm I beg to differ. MURICA Manifest Destiny+Agnor Wat= cheapest tiles ever INFI EXPAND. Although I think Agnor Wat should have a better effect considering the history. Also Gl is not that good 1 free tech is ok but kills your production ESPECIALLY when you lose on higher difficulties which is almost always unless you really focus on it.
