quick question about building a wonder

Investigating cities is a red herring. Neither the AI nor the human can investigate every city in a civ every turn. When you'll finish a wonder has to be one of the things the AI "knows" (this might have been changed with 1.29 but I doubt it)

You don't need to investigage every city. F7--shows what city a wonder is being built in.

Yeah you're right. I still disagree with the F7 key though. I dont use it myself for that reason so it slips my mind.

Civ3MultiTool Savegame Modifier

Gramphos' (sorry if I grabbled the spelling) Civ3MultiTool has a Savegame Modifier which I use to my favor in situations when I'm building wonders, only to have the AI build a few turns ahead of me, even though I started construction long before they did. Not only to I force the game to give me a completed (next turn cycle) wonder, but I usually SEVERELY punish the offending city: kill its people off, sell its improvements, stuff like that.

Gramphos' Civ3MultiTool is lurking around poly somewhere...sorry, don't have the direct link handy.

so with tool, i can make myself build the wonder the very next turn, without affecting the game otherwise?

One of a number of things you can do with this nifty little program (Thanks be to Gramphos...All hail Gramphos!). Before editing any savegame, I make a copy of the savegame file I want to change, edit the copy, then load the edited copy ingame and play. If I'm not satisfied with the outcome, I do it again wash/rinse/repeat until I get the outcome I want. I punish the AIs only out of spite...and evil...and fun...

Just read that thread, CAFEFULLY play around with the savegame modifyer (the other sections of the program are geared more towards modmakers), and you'll get a good feel of what you can do with this program.
