At some point you will have a bunch of these done. Make a thread for the links and slap them in it. Nothing unusal here. Then PM one of the moderators to see if they will sticky it.
That is if you get to that point.

BTW the way I am not so sure it has to be the most compelling strat around. I would think that just having a comprehensive report for all the civs would be of value to new players. Even if they disagree with the conclusion.

What does need have to do with it? I don't need the Pyramids, but I may build it.

Not playing higher than monarch I simply don't know if there are needed wonders.
In Civ2, at deity level, the Hanging Gardens were a need for me.
I thought that in Civ3 at high level there could be also such need.

[vmxa1]

Desired, yes, need nope. In Civ3 as you move up, it gets harder and harder to get any ancient wonders. At deity, you can get one of the ancients and maybe a coastal wonder. At Sid, it seems nearly impossible. I think it is a combination of the new 50 turn research and no trading contacts.

Anyway I was only teasing a bit, you do want them. One of the AU games was a no golden age game and hence you needed to not use your UU or build wonders that would trigger it.

Ision, you left out the most important use of the War Chariot! Until you have your GA, you can always build your UU no matter how out of date this is.

Build up a large treasury (2X is needed in Conquests compared to before), and pump out WCs quickly to upgrade all the way up to Calvary.

[punkbass2000]

Ision left. His official Goodbye thread is in the Strategy Forum at CFC.

[Shogun Gunner]

Since I don't go to CFC, can you share what Ision's reason for leaving was?

People never leave...they just take long leave of absences....

[gunkulator]

Link to Ision's goodbye at CFC

Basically, he has become disinterested in the game and he has also been asked to contribute to a new game, which will eat all his free time.

Too bad, Ision had a unique insight into the game.
