World Wonder Elimination Thread

[kaspergm]

Alhambra = 10
Apadana = 24
Big Ben = 30
Colosseum = 32
Cristo Redentor = 6
Eiffel Tower = 15
Forbidden City = 30
Great Pyramids = 24
Great Zimbabwe = 13
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus 26
Oxford University = 10 (13-3) This is imo. the weakest of the remaining lot. Civ6 seems much less inclined to give you "super science cities" than Civ5 did.
Potala Palace = 9 (8+1) Diplomacy cards are some of my favorites, and I think any policy card wonder falling before top 10 is just plain wrong. And seeing this below Alhambra - which is imo. clearly the weakest of the lot - makes no sense.
Ruhr Valley = 22
Venetian Arsenal = 26

Alhambra = 10
Apadana = 24
Big Ben = 30
Colosseum = 32
Cristo Redentor = 6
Eiffel Tower = 15
Forbidden City = 30
Great Pyramids = 24
Great Zimbabwe = 13
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus 27 (26 + 1) With a lot of harbors and industrial districts, the gift that keeps giving.
Oxford University = 7 (10-3) I'm again going with "not sure this better output than producing the equivalent in campus projects"
Potala Palace = 9
Ruhr Valley = 22
Venetian Arsenal = 26

 

[Siptah]

Alhambra = 10
Apadana = 24
Big Ben = 30
Colosseum = 32
Cristo Redentor = 6
Eiffel Tower = 16 (15+1) I try to build this every time when going for a National Park + Seaside Resorts victory. The synergy with Cristo Redentor is not to be underrated, and even without that other wonder, it seems worth it in most cases for me.
Forbidden City = 30
Great Pyramids = 24
Great Zimbabwe = 13
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus 27
Oxford University = 7
Potala Palace = 9
Ruhr Valley = 19 (22-3) For this wonder, you transform production into more production. It's rather easy to calculate if it is worth it or not. Since I usually don't beeline Industrialization, I don't get to this as early as possible. I only go for this wonder if I plan a science victory, and if I manage to get one or more of the space Great People, it's not really worth the effort. I know it's a favorite of many players, but for my games it's 50% a great wonder and 50% completely useless.
Venetian Arsenal = 26

Mausoleum at Halicarnassus 27
Oxford University = (7-3)=4 Not that great compared to the others, especially if you already doing well scientifically.
Potala Palace = (9+1)=10 Another diplo slot is useful.
Ruhr Valley = 19
Venetian Arsenal = 26

 

[Forster]

Alhambra = 10

Colosseum = 32 + 1 = 33 Happiness via freed up amenities.
Cristo Redentor = 6
Eiffel Tower = 16
Forbidden City = 30
Great Pyramids = 24
Great Zimbabwe = 13
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus 27
Oxford University = 4 - 3 = 1 I don't think it is that powerful. .

Apadana = 24
Big Ben = 30
Colosseum = 33
Cristo Redentor = 6

Forbidden City = 30 + 1 = 31 Who does not like extra flexibility?
Great Pyramids = 24
Great Zimbabwe = 13
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus 27
Oxford University = 1 - 3 = ELIMINATED If you are doing well in science, you don't need it

[Eliminator_Sr]

Alhambra = 10
Apadana = 24
Big Ben = 30
Colosseum = 33
Cristo Redentor = 6
Eiffel Tower = 16
Forbidden City = 31
Great Pyramids = 24
Great Zimbabwe = 13 + 1 = 14 (Too good to be this low, there are at least 5 that should fall before GZ)
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus = 27
Potala Palace = 10
Ruhr Valley = 19
Venetian Arsenal = 26 - 3 = 23 (It's nice to have extra ships, but I usually have enough frigates to start wrecking cities well before I'm able to build this)

 

[gettingfat]

Alhambra = 10
Apadana = 24
Big Ben = 30+1 = 31 (should not be below Forbidden City as it is far superior)
Colosseum = 33
Cristo Redentor = 6
Eiffel Tower = 16
Forbidden City = 31
Great Pyramids = 24
Great Zimbabwe = 14
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus = 27
Potala Palace = 10
Ruhr Valley = 19
Venetian Arsenal = 23 - 3 = 20 (I generally have enough military units by that time. 6 battleships plus some land units are going to clean out the map most of the time, so this is just an overkill)

 

[Mesix]

Alhambra = 10 + 1 = 11 (all of the wonders which give free policy cards are must build - or capture - wonders in every game)
Apadana = 24
Big Ben = 31
Colosseum = 33
Cristo Redentor = 6
Eiffel Tower = 16
Forbidden City = 31
Great Pyramids = 24
Great Zimbabwe = 14
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus = 27
Potala Palace = 10
Ruhr Valley = 19
Venetian Arsenal = 20 - 3 = 17 (a very situational build...navy is not so important in many games)

 

[Kimiimaro]

Alhambra = 11-3=8 - Weakest of policy cards. Amenities are fine, but Military policies are weakest.
Apadana = 24
Big Ben = 31
Colosseum = 33
Cristo Redentor = 6
Eiffel Tower = 16
Forbidden City = 31
Great Pyramids = 24
Great Zimbabwe = 14
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus = 27
Potala Palace = 10
Ruhr Valley = 19
Venetian Arsenal = 17+1=18 - I think I'll help Venetian Arsenal. Ranged ships are OP, but expensive to build. It increddibly helps me in every domination game. There are weaker wonders.

 

[Amrunril]

Alhambra = 8
Apadana = 24
Big Ben = 31
Colosseum = 30 (33 - 3) Certainly strong, but I don't think it belongs at #1. It has to be built fairly early and is likely to be overkill for some time afterwards.
Cristo Redentor = 7 (6 + 1)Doubles tourism from two potentially major sources. This is what a strong end game wonder looks like.
Eiffel Tower = 16
Forbidden City = 31
Great Pyramids = 24
Great Zimbabwe = 14
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus = 27
Potala Palace = 10
Ruhr Valley = 19
Venetian Arsenal =18

 

[kaspergm]

Alhambra = 8
Apadana = 24
Big Ben = 32 (31+1) Forbidden City may be more flexible on paper, but there's never a time where you can't use another economy card slot, and the extra gold makes up for the lesser flexibility in the card slot - and then some!
Colosseum = 30
Cristo Redentor = 7
Eiffel Tower = 16
Forbidden City = 31
Great Pyramids = 24
Great Zimbabwe = 11 (14-3) Not sure if I like this more or less than Cristo Redentor, but since this one is higher at the moment, it gets today's cut.
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus = 27

[Abraxis]

Alhambra = 8
Apadana = 24
Big Ben = 32
Colosseum = 30
Cristo Redentor = 7
Eiffel Tower = 16
Forbidden City = 28 (31-3) Overrated by players and the AI (which means risk of wasted production) unless you really want great people points. Also given wild cards appeal to every victory type and every civ, every AI will have their eyes on this thing. Generally speaking; If I want an extra slot, I want it for a reason. Having a specific plan means I know which type of cards I'm interested in using it for. If I know that, I'm better off building the wonder associated with that card type instead. Less competition, more secondary bonuses. Also the adjacent to city center restriction is awful and wastes an adjacency you could use on something else.
Great Pyramids = 25 (24+1) Pyramids are beautiful. AI does not prioritize building them at all. 2 culture (a monument) and a free builder is about 120p by the time you build this which effectively reduces its cost to 100p if you plan for it properly. For that 100p and a useless desert tile you get +1 builder charges and adjacent tiles for adjacency bonuses with culture districts and unique improvements (Egypt and France). If you are Egypt and building next to a river knock that cost down to 66p. Less than 3 builders later and this wonder was free. It is a dream for squeezing out production out of thin air and transfering it to your developing cities in order to catch up to the AI in higher difficulties. It's like printing money in an economy without inflation.

Moderator Action: Re-adding Mausoleum which prematurely disappeared -- Jon

 

[joncnunn]

Alhambra = 8 + 1 = 9 Anything providing free policy slots is useful enough when capturing from AI to be worth at least top 10
Apadana = 24
Big Ben = 32
Colosseum = 30
Cristo Redentor = 7 -3 = 4 Cultural victories aren't gone after at high difficulty levels which makes it useless at those levels to even capture from the AI.
Eiffel Tower = 16
Forbidden City = 28
Great Pyramids = 25
Great Zimbabwe = 11
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus = 27 This prematurely disappeared.

[CPWimmer]

Alhambra = 9
Apadana = 24
Big Ben = 32
Colosseum = 31 = 30 +1 I don't think that I have up-voted it yet, and it's one of my top-5.
Cristo Redentor = 1 = 4 - 3 Not better then anything else left.
Eiffel Tower = 16
Forbidden City = 28
Great Pyramids = 25
Great Zimbabwe = 11
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus = 27

Venetian Arsenal =18

 

[Felis Renidens]

Alhambra = 10 - (9+1) I don't care if it's supposedly weaker than other card-giving wonders. All card giving wonders are good. Also I'm more likely to want a non-military focused government with an extra military card than a military-focused one with an extra economic slot (of coarse I want all extra slots).
Apadana = 24
Big Ben = 32
Colosseum = 31
Cristo Redentor = 1
Eiffel Tower = 16
Forbidden City = 28
Great Pyramids = 25
Great Zimbabwe = 8 (11-3) can't believe Cristo Redentor is facing elimination (It's useful for cultural victory types) and this very situational difficult to find place for and not really needed wonder isn't
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus = 27
Potala Palace = 10
Ruhr Valley = 19
Venetian Arsenal =18

 

[Siptah]

Alhambra = 10
Apadana = 24
Big Ben = 32
Colosseum = 28 (31-3) Great wonder, no question. AI often doesn't build it for some reason. But I think it's doing too well right now. A good placement helps a lot and can get (some of) your core cities to ecstatic level. But there are lots of other options as the game progresses.
Cristo Redentor = 1
Eiffel Tower = 16
Forbidden City = 28
Great Pyramids = 26 (25+1) I always go for this when I have desert nearby. The AI often doesn't and there is no chance that it is not worth it. While it probably not win against Big Bend, I think it should at least be top 5 in the end, if not top 3.

[Guandao]

Alhambra = 10
Apadana = 24
Big Ben = 32
Colosseum = 28
Cristo Redentor = (1-3)=0 And Cristo Redentor is eliminated!, this seems like a good time for it to go.
Eiffel Tower = 16
Forbidden City = 28
Great Pyramids = 26
Great Zimbabwe = 8
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus = 27
Potala Palace = 10
Ruhr Valley = (19+1)=20 I always nearly try to build this wonder in my games. Production is key.

Eiffel Tower = 16

Great Zimbabwe = 9 (8+1) This and Carthage and you have won even more difficult than allowed.
