Can you live without leonardo's workshop?

My first multiplayer victory happened when my opponent built Marco Polo, Great Library and Great Wall very early in the game, and all in his capital. I was toolin around in a trireme and noticed that his island was 3 ocean squares away from mine, so I built 2 more boats and sneakily landed 5 crusaders on his shore, and by the end of the next turn I owned his capital and all his wonders. He retired...

I agree that flexibility is important, otherwise you end up playing a game with a strategy that is wrong for your current circumstances. However, great flexibility is offered by Leonardo's Workshop. With 25 cities you have to mess about upgrading units in most of them - when you could be building all those caravans - the most flexible unit of the game!

Xin Yu started a thread similar to this subject, "How to make the most of wonders?" (or something), but I don't have the, erh..., "time" ( ) to look for it now.

But I sure would like to know how others think about this. Building wonders to prevent others from getting them is especially effective if you know what kind of player you're up against. A sleezer without HG loses the momentum and if you (not likely) or someone else (more likely) can get Mike's too, it's all of a sudden Finite City Sleeze...

But then again the sleezer got other wonders, probably changing his strategy accordingly...

There are wonders of strategy, and wonders of crutch, and Leo is a crutch. Sun Tzu is a wonder of strategy.

What does "crutch" mean?

OK, here's more Carolus Rex to the slaughter. What does "crotch" (and still, "crutch") mean?

Hmm... could "crutch" be meant as a wonder which helps keep you up, but is not necesary? Like, it keeps you going and helps you go, but you would do it on your own eventually (basing this on crutches that a person would use to walk with, if the had a broken leg or something). I dunno maybe i am just a dumbass and am completely wrong!
