The issue of wonders

[Marquis de Sodaq]

Some of the masses are grumbling about the need for wonders in this game. To build them, we really ought to be rolling out the caravans on our main island! Forget marketplaces, breed camels! Once we decide which wonder we want, voila! we build it the next turn.

It wouldn't hurt to settle another city east of Apolyton to aid in this production. It would necessarily be small, but could be a dedicated camel ranch. You simply can't have too many caravans in this game! Besides, we need more trade routes.

Let the president and ministers hear your wishes!

[Dr. Nick]

Yes, let's breed camels!

[Gramphos]

Yeah, put all money on camels, we need to be prepared for Global Warming

[Hydey]

let us build many wonders with our mighty camels.

[-Jrabbit]

Camels -- Yes!
Wonders -- Yes!

Horah! WonderCamels!

I say yes.

I am in favor of organizing a few cities to build caravans to help make Wonders, but we can suffer if we dedicate too many resources to that. It isn't just an either/or question. There are also costs in building Wonders.

[MrWhereItsAt]

Can we get a list of available buildings to add to "Queues" for each city where building Caravans is a feasible idea? I think Caravans may be the order of the day where we have our exploration/settler factories elsewhere and our core cities have built most of the available improvements.

It is time for a Wonder or two, and we gotta start early!

We just should start builing a Wonder on our Main island apolytonia and switch its production when we are able to build Mikes,then use all the camels we had storred for this moment to have an instant Wonder....WE NEED HAPPINESS


So stop fighting over how or what might...
start builing a wonder in one of the cities of Apolytonia and have eg 2 cities building caravans wich we stockpille until the discovery of Monotheism and then build Michelangelo's Chapel.


So get on with it!!!!

I know wonders are important, but us citizens come first...we pay your enormous government salaries!! Maybe we should just give you elected individuals a paycut!
I say we first placate the rest of our population, then gets those camels to multiply and use them for both trade and wonder production...That way, we can get more money as well...for entertainment and luxury!

[MrWhereItsAt]

Nay I say!

Let us keep our population to the size each city is content at and build Wonders there. Wouldn't Mike or the Oracle make ppl happy enough - just on a nationwide scale - and bring us great accolades as well?

[Kassiopeia]

This definitely a matter at hand, and we should decide whether to build or not a wonder, and if we do want to build one, on what city should it be built.

=>Logic=the one with the highest production

Not necessarily, Shade. If we incrementally rushbuild caravans, then it won't matter where it is, as long as the camels can reach it. Any city on Apolytonia would do, as long as the others are building caravans to bump up production. I advocate building caravans and then building the wonder in one turn.

that's also a possibility but I had the impression our cashflow wasn't that big so we could easily rushbuy...
We'll see...
