  • Enough of this esoteric crap...time to restart the wonder wars

    Favorite wonders:

    1. If you only could have one which one would you want?

    2. If you have many, which is the one you least want to lose?

    3. And which has the coolest music

    4. Best video?

    1. Only one: SOL (for early fundy...diety problems solved)

    2. One least want to lose if I have many...ummm Idonno (Mikes?)

    3. music: Adam Smith's

    4. video: United Nations (or Darwin)

    Harumph! Fundy is a cop-out, especially for SP. The most unbalanced thing in Civ2.

    The answer is Bach, Bach, Bach, and Bach! JSBach is the greatest musician ever. Consequently, Sid made it the best Wonder. Wouldn't want to lose it. Starring his music, the video is best. Of course.

            1. HG. I have had real trouble getting out of the early game without it.
            2. Newton (because if I lose that it means I lose Colossus, Copernicus and Shakespeare )
            3. Manhattan has the coolest music. It seems kind of groovy and incongruous with the wonder itself. Magellan is a close second.
            4. Video... Women's Suffrage.

              1. Yet another vote for HG
              2. Sun Tzu, since it means my new units will be green and the bad guys will be vets.
              3 & 4. I haven't seen/heard the videos in a looong time...

                I didn't think units became vets with Sun Tzu unless they won a battle...

                  They're vet when you build em, but if you upgrade em with leos the units turn non-vet. Then you need to win a battle for promotion.

                      1) HG
                      2) HG but ... after Railroad losing Mike's would hurt
                      3) I like the Parisian music for the Eiffel Tower.
                      4) Eiffel Tower video is good ... too bad not many watch it

                          Hey, this is supposed to be "Wonder Wars." We're should be saying things like, "SG(2) is a doofus for liking anything whatsoever about the Eiffel Tower Wonder. Silliest in the game." Or, "Hah! My Colossus farts in the general direction of your HG!"

                            Bach's smells of elderberries.

                              1. given my failure so far to grasp trade strategy, i like Adam Smith's for the money saved.
                              2. (see above)
                              3. don't remember, played with music off for a long time
