Selling granaries ...

[Elowan]

... how does one sell all of them? In my game I've only been able to sell two. On the others, the option to sell is not there and I have the Pyramids wonder.

[DarkMatter]

You can only sell improvements that you've built, not ones that come as a benefit from a wonder.

The wonders that provide improvements (and the improvements) are listed below:


The Pyramids (Granaries)
Sun Tzu's Art of War (Barracks)
The Hoover Dam (Hydro Plants)


I've changed my civ to include the following:
Magellen's Voyage (Harbors)
The Great Library (Libraries)
Longevity (Aquaducts)

Du'oh!

In CivII - if you built the Pyramids - Granaries disappeared from the City Improvement list and only Granaries that you built prior to the Wonder were shown. That is - you got the benefit without the actual bldg.

I did not realize that an actual Granary was placed in one's city when Pyramids was built.

Which begs the question:

Do you pay maintenence on Wonder-constructed improvements?

Luckily you do not pay maintenance for Wonder-installed improvements. You can see than on the city screen. In the left hand lower part are the pictures of everything build in this city. Next to every building there is its culture value (if it has any) depicted in note signs AND the cost of maintenance for that building. Maintenance looks like red coins - just like the cash lost to corruption. Those improvements which result from Wonders do not have this maintenance icon. This definately means zero maintenance costs because when you buil "Smith Trading Co" wonder, that eliminates maintenance costs for markets, banks and such - maintenance icons also disappear from mentioned improvements
