I hardly ever build the early wonders.

Is marble completely indispensable?

I guess if you're someone who has to build every wonder then it is probably a good thing to have. IMO the resources you really need are iron, coal, oil and to a lesser extent horses. Everything else is just gravy.

Hmm, I think I'd rather have stone (Pyramids). Marble's good, though.

The trick isn't to break some eggs to make an omelette, it's convincing the eggs to break themselves in order to aspire to omelettehood.

Perhaps I just need to be a better warmonger.

Stonehenge takes 3 or 4 chops to complete, its so quick you migth aswell have it cause the culture boost is nice and it pumps out those great prophets
If you get your religion in aswell you can use the first prophet to make the religion wonder thing and after that you got free techs or whatever you want
If you want the henge just plant a city in a clump of trees and cut em all down maybe 12 turns

It almost seems a waste of a leader pick if you have an industrious leader but no stone or marble anywhere within reach. In my latest game I'm Ind/Spi and there's 1 patch of stone all the way on the other side of the continent past 3 other civs and there's no marble at all. At least I have copper and iron.

I havn't found games without Marble/Stone particullary hard.
The most lethal thing that can probably happen is lacking BOTH copper and iron. Iron is better than copper, but without either you don't get axemen/macemen...
Also worth noting some wonders use other resources for the discount (such as copper).
