Wonders 1774

[Kev]

Well, we're pretty much where we finally want to be in terms of wonder production. The city of Fort Pornstar has switched to Hoover Dam and has a very nice head start on all other civs. The only other civ that has a wonder going is the Germans who have just started the Cure for Cancer.

I thought I'd at least offer another wonder discussion, though I don't think that we'll be changing anything.

Do we want to make a play for the Cure for Cancer? It would mean having to study the dead-end Genetic Engineering ourselves or stealing it should we find the Germans. Since the Germans have started it already, we would also have to either switch Fort Pornstar to it or start it in another city and start with the freight stuff again.

Cure for Cancer, I believe, makes one or two content citizens happy or unhappy citizens content or something like that. All well and good, but probably not something to move heaven and earth to obtain. Hoover, in my mind, is a much better "get" and the only conceivable challenge would be if the Germans are gifted or get electronics and switch. Even then, it would be a mere token challenge at that.

My thought is to let the Germans discover the Cure and then we can just take over that city when we wish to. It will work just as well, and we can concentrate on more pressing issues.

Anyone think differently?

CfC makes one extra happy person per city.

Given the choice between Hoover and CfC, I would choose Hoover. I'm hoping we can get both though. CfC would help a bit for when we are trying to celebrate our cities.

Cure for Cancer would of course be nice, but I think Hoover Dam, factories, trade routes, banks, universities and stuff are more important. The previous wonder races have kept pretty much all our core cities busy for a very long time, forcing us to postpone the necessary development of general infrastucture. It is high time we start start developing our cities now.

I don't think we should bother building the Cure for Cancer.
We should just wait until the Germans build it and capture the city.

well ,it depend's on the tech advancement of the German's really.If the German's don't have the possibilety to build the hoover dam in either way ,i may advice to swith so that after it's completion the german's would abbandon all wonder work's.
Then again Hoover Dam is really something you want as fast as possible ,as it increases production and lower's pollution. (but only on the home continent i think)

Maybe we should start CFC (doesn't CFC stand for something else than cure for cancer also? ) in another city anyway.It can really come in handy when we want WLTK day's ,and i think that ,with increased production from Hoover dam and maybe some caravan's we can beat the German's to it.

 

[Zwelgje]

We need Hoover for production and polution reasons. I think that for completing cfc before the germans we would have to rush lots of caravans again and that would interfere with building improvements in our cities. So I say build Hoover and conquer the city building cfc later on.

 

[Leowind]

Agreed Hoover is the more important of the two, but for some reason I seem to recall always going for CfC when in Democracy. Or am I confusing it with Women's Suffrage? Can someone confirm exatly what it does? It might help this discussion

I believe this is still correct.

Although its size has started to make several people unhappy...




...sorry.

Maybe you're thinking of CFC, not CfC.

One is about the game, the other is in the game.
