Alhambra = 18
Apadana = 23
Big Ben = 26
Bolshoi Theatre = 21
Broadway = 18
Chichen Itza = 18
Colosseum = 24
Colossus = 14
Cristo Redentor = 21 (20 + 1) Doubles (or unhalves) tourism from two significant sources. This is what a strong culture victory wonder looks like, and it really shows how underwhelming the great artist point wonders are by comparison.
Eiffel Tower = 22
Estadio do Maracana = 13
Forbidden City = 25
Great Lighthouse = 17
Great Pyramids = 22
Great Zimbabwe = 23
Hagia Sophia = 17
Hermitage = 18 (21 - 1) Speaking of great artist point wonders... If you're lucky this will net you one great artist and slots for their works. If you're lucky.
Mahabodhi Temple = 13
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus = 22
Mont St. Michel = 16
Oracle = 17
Oxford University = 22
Petra = 17
Potala Palace = 21
Ruhr Valley = 23
Terracotta Army = 17
Venetian Arsenal=24
 
Alhambra = 18
Apadana = 23
Big Ben = 27 (26 + 1) Basically two wonders for the price of one ... you don't go wrong with that.
Bolshoi Theatre = 21
Broadway = 15 (18-3) Unlike Hermitage, I don't see much point in this wonder. Music slots are rarely an issue (I'll go entire games without earning more than one musician), cost is way high. With hermitage, at least I get a parking lot for art that doesn't match for theming bonus in my museums.
Chichen Itza = 18
Colosseum = 24
Colossus = 14
Cristo Redentor = 21
Eiffel Tower = 22
Estadio do Maracana = 13

Terracotta Army = 17

Alhambra = 18
Apadana = 23
Big Ben = 27
Bolshoi Theatre = 21
Broadway = 12 (15-3) Too little too late.
Chichen Itza = 18
Colosseum = 24
Colossus = 14
Cristo Redentor = 21
Eiffel Tower = 22
Estadio do Maracana = 13
Forbidden City = 26 (25+1) You can't beat the pleasure of having an extra wildcard
Great Lighthouse = 17
Great Pyramids = 22
Great Zimbabwe = 23
Hagia Sophia = 17
Hermitage = 18
Mahabodhi Temple = 13
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus = 22

Oracle = 17
Oxford University = 22
Petra = 17
Potala Palace = 21
Ruhr Valley = 23
Terracotta Army = 17
Venetian Arsenal=24
 
Alhambra = 18
Apadana = 23
Big Ben = 27+1=28 (with just a bit planning it gave me extra 40k gold so early in the last game. Even without the economy slot it is still an excellent wonder considering the high return; with the extra slot it is my superstar)
Bolshoi Theatre = 21
Broadway = 12
Chichen Itza = 18-3 =15 (Basically impossible to build at higher difficulty as the AIs LOVE it. The only way is to beeline the tech and then chop all the rainforests...but then what's the purpose if there aren't many rainforests left?)
Colosseum = 24
Colossus = 14
Cristo Redentor = 21
Eiffel Tower = 22
Estadio do Maracana = 13
Forbidden City = 26

Colosseum = 24
Colossus = 14
Cristo Redentor = 21
Eiffel Tower = 22
Estadio do Maracana = 13
Forbidden City = 26
Great Lighthouse = 17 - 3 = 14 This might be a useful wonder, if it wern't for the AI's lack of navys/ If there is a patch that makes them use one, the extra mobiity might be usefull, but as the game is, it is a waste of cogs.
Great Pyramids = 22
Great Zimbabwe = 23
Hagia Sophia = 17 + 1 =18 When paired with mosques, this can give +2 spreads on a baseline apostle or missionary, making it quite powerful. It may not be the best wonder, but it doesn't deserve to go yet.
Hermitage = 18
Mahabodhi Temple = 13
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus = 22
Mont St. Michel = 16
Oracle = 17
Oxford University = 22

Terracotta Army = 17
Venetian Arsenal=24
 
Alhambra = 18
Apadana = 23
Big Ben = 27
Bolshoi Theatre = 21
Broadway = 9 (12-3) Never go for cultural victory and this one comes too late anyway and is so expensive
Chichen Itza = 18
Colosseum = 24
Colossus = 14
Cristo Redentor = 21
Eiffel Tower = 22
Estadio do Maracana = 13
Forbidden City = 26
Great Lighthouse = 14
Great Pyramids = 22
Great Zimbabwe = 23
Hagia Sophia = 19 (18+1) Always go for this when pursuing religious victory. Great boost to missionary/apostles and in effects increases your faith ROI

Broadway = 9
Chichen Itza = 18
Colosseum = 24
Colossus = 14
Cristo Redentor = 21
Eiffel Tower = 22
Estadio do Maracana = 13+1=14 - It's not that bad. It's late game wonder, yes, but still somewhat useful. Extra amenities and cuture in whole empire isn't bad bonus, and I like it, because my empire is always unhappy. And AI does hardly ever build this wonder. There are worse wonders...
Forbidden City = 26
Great Lighthouse = 14
Great Pyramids = 22
Great Zimbabwe = 23
Hagia Sophia = 19
Hermitage = 18
Mahabodhi Temple = 13-3=10 - ...like this. AI loves this wonder, so it's very hard to get it. And even if you somehow manage to get this wonder, its waste of production. Very little faith and two free apostles aren't much helpful.

Colossus = 14
Cristo Redentor = 21
Eiffel Tower = 22
Estadio do Maracana = 14
Forbidden City = 26

Chichen Itza = 18
Colosseum = 24
Colossus = 14
Cristo Redentor = 21
Eiffel Tower = 22
Estadio do Maracana = 15 = 14+1 - My favorite currently under 20. It's great when I want to play a late game domination and want help with War Weariness.

Alhambra = 18
Apadana = 23
Big Ben = 27
Bolshoi Theatre = 21
Broadway = 4 (3+1, when I first played as Russia (back when UD were still free) I won nearly every Great WAM. The only problem was there are so few music slots. Most of the artists and writers found a home for their works, but I had a collection of 6 or so Musicians just chilling in the capital with nothing to do. The game needs these slots at least a little bit longer)

Alhambra = 18 +1 = 19 : same as before , not the best +slot but 18 is too low a score.
Apadana = 23
Big Ben = 27
Bolshoi Theatre = 21
Broadway = 4
Chichen Itza = 18 - 3= 15 jungle is meant to be cut , right ?

Bolshoi Theatre = 21
Broadway = (4+1)=5 I'll try to delay the demise of Broadway for a little bit, it's good for those aiming for a Cultural Victory, which seems to be the hardest victory now

If you can swing it, it is very much like Petra, it will turn an OK city into a fantastic one. Culture is so much more valuable than it used to be.

Colosseum = 24
Colossus = 14
Cristo Redentor = 21
Eiffel Tower = 22
Estadio do Maracana = 12 (15-3)
You are never going to build this quickly enough for it to matter. Insane production cost and tiles for wonders have already been used up.

Forbidden City = 26
Great Lighthouse = 11
Great Pyramids = 23
Great Zimbabwe = 23
Hagia Sophia = 19
Hermitage = 18
Mahabodhi Temple = 7

Forbidden City = 26
Great Lighthouse = 11
Great Pyramids = 23
Great Zimbabwe = 23
Hagia Sophia = 19
Hermitage = 18
Mahabodhi Temple = 4 (7-3) I don't play Religious games often, so I find these type of wonders not very useful.
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus = 23 (22+1) Giving your Great Engineers and Admirals an extra charge is great. Also give you a Great Admiral with 2 charges of giving you Very Early game Armadas.
Mont St. Michel = 13
Oracle = 17
Oxford University = 22
Petra = 17
Potala Palace = 21
Ruhr Valley = 24
Terracotta Army = 17
Venetian Arsenal=24
 
Alhambra = 19
Apadana = 23
Big Ben = 27
Bolshoi Theatre = 21
Broadway = 2 (5 - 3) A wonder that will at best give you points and space for one additional great person simply isn't a worthwhile investment.
Chichen Itza = 16
Colosseum = 24
Colossus = 14
Cristo Redentor = 21

Mahabodhi Temple = 4
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus = 23
Mont St. Michel = 13
Oracle = 17
Oxford University = 22
Petra = 18 (17 + 1) I'm not sure how anyone could come away from Civ V with the impression that this needed to be buffed, but apparently that's what happened.
Potala Palace = 21
Ruhr Valley = 24
Terracotta Army = 17
Venetian Arsenal=24
 
Alhambra = 19
Apadana = 23
Big Ben = 28 (27+1) Offers two of the best things in the game, and its placement restriction is not bad, and up to at least emperor, it's rather possible to get this wonder.
Bolshoi Theatre = 21
Broadway = -1 (2-3) ELIMINATED - I'll grab the chance to eliminate another wonder. But seriously, I think this wonder is very much not worth the cost.

Oracle = 17
Oxford University = 22
Petra = 18
Potala Palace = 21
Ruhr Valley = 24

Estadio do Maracana = 12
Forbidden City = 26
Great Lighthouse = 11
Great Pyramids = 23
Great Zimbabwe = 23
Hagia Sophia = 19
Hermitage = 19 (18+1) 1 point for the best of the +GW spaces and points wonders. It just needs to be automatically themed or give you a chance to theme it (like all wonders should have). It comes at a good time and gives 4 spaces. Despite that, it looks nice on the map.
Mahabodhi Temple = 1
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus = 23
Mont St. Michel = 13
Oracle = 17
Oxford University = 22
Petra = 18
Potala Palace = 21
Ruhr Valley = 24
Terracotta Army = 17
Venetian Arsenal= 22 (25-3) A great wonder, sure. But right at the top 3? No. It's too situational for that. I often build some naval units, but usually earlier than this wonder. It can make the difference in late game wars on water maps, sure. So I think it would be nice to have this around for some more time in this list, but it just seemed to be too high right now for me.
