Your most frequently built wonder

[zyx]

I loved the wonder elimination thread, and I wonder, whether the result: Hagia Sophia being the most acclaimed wonder is also the most often built one.

To find out which wonder is your most favorite/frequently built - and then please vote, as there are only 25 possible options to vote on and 27 different wonders, I decided to eliminate The Brandenburg Gate - which was really bad pre patch, but I like it right now! - and The Great Wall:

Edit \My Docs\My Games\SM Civ V\config.ini and set: LoggingEnabled = 1

Now the game will start updating this log file: \My Docs\My Games\SM Civ V\Logs\achievements_debug.log

That file contains a list of stats that track things like # roads built, # temples built, build counts for each unit, each wonder, etc.

Hagia Sophia is my most often built. I always try for great library, but don't always get it.

I usually go for Chichen Itza. I like the effect, but it's mostly because the wonder quote/music/splash screen is the best

 

[jtb1127]

If I include civ iv in this, then it is the Oracle. If not, then it is the Library.

 

[bcaiko]

Well, from now on it's going to be the Statue of Zeus from the Acient Wonders DLC.

I admit, I always build Stonehenge. Always. I'm a peacemonger, so I usually go Pottery - Calender, and build Stonehenge ASAP.

I "used" to build Stonehenge often, if not France for example, but not since it was nerfed. Now it is only so-so.

I'm the only one that said Pyramids lol. I like its effect (well before the June/July patch, I don't have that one yet.)

This. Steely rushes for Hanging Gardens now.

 

[Thyrwyn]

I build Stonehenge and the GL almost always (less as I move up...). But I always build the Eiffel Tower - it fuels my policy hording, war-mongering ways

 

[basta]

Thanks for this poll. Very interesting results so far, and rather vindicating, as some members were, ahem, ready to pull my fingernails out for supporting the GL in the wonder elimination thread.
Good to see it's #1 by a long margin.

 

[Thyrwyn]

...especially now that it comes with a free library, making the National College that much easier...

 

[pspboy7]

I almost always build Great Library or Stonehenge at first.

 

[Aoxomoxoa]

Keshiks... that's the wonder I build...

Hagia Sophia

The early wonders require a very significant sacrifice of your empire's crucial early development - so that expense better be very well justified with a plan based around that specific wonder. So yeah GL is fantastic, but only really worth it for a NC start and/or an Education beeline.

Hagia Sophia, on the other hand, is late enough that you can more easily devote a city to it, and is at a point where there's not too many things you can build and want to build. And it's essentially a free pre-build of one of two of the game's best wonders - Notre Dame and Porcelain Tower. I usually go Notre Dame, and HS has the advantage that you can shove it down in a new city where the +3 culture will make a real difference. And as a bonus, it's just before you get universities, and can thus appreciate those extra GPP.

Frankly, I think the Hagia Sophia-> Notre Dame/Porcelain Tower/universities axis is one of the biggest remaining imbalances in the game at the moment.

porcelain tower. it comes at a time when i'm getting my first great person. if it's a GE, i rush it!

 

[BobDole]

It's the Oracle, even if I'm not going for culture, cause the AI never seems to prioritize getting it (at least for me), and so even without trying hard to get it, I can finish it first. Great Library I try to go for a lot but the AI actually tries to get it, so it's a lot harder to get.

 

[Stormbolt]

When going for a culture victory, I build everything that generates great engineers, which can then be used to make even more wonders that give great engineer points, which I then use to repeat the cycle endlessly.

Otherwise, it's usually the Great Wall, Statue of Zeus, Great Library, or Porcelain Tower, depending upon which victory I want to go for.

 

[seasnake]

Definitely Big Ben, I buy a lot of buildings in the later game.

 

[Mercade]

Should've made this a multi-option poll. There is no ONE wonder I always go for, but there are a handful that I like to get if someone else doesn't beat me to it. Stonehenge, Great Library, Oracle, Sistine Chapel, Big Ben (if the game lasts that long)
