-Hey, when you've seen 3 cities flip 3 turns after building this thing, it's friggin worth it

Great Lib:

The only way to keep up in Deity.

FP:
Crucial for first couple patches, still very important. This placement determines your sucess more than any other thing, IMHO

GW
Adam Smith's Co.
saves bling bling, which can have a huge effect on the game

SW
Wall Street
adds a ton of bling bling when placed in the proper city

GW
I don't have a favorite anymore... it used to be The Pyramids, but then I realized cities grow more than fast enough anyway. Then the Great Library, but now I just beat techs out of AI civs anyway.

For the purposes of the poll, I would say Sun Tzu... not so much for the ease of having barracks everywhere, but rather so that I can conquer a city, heal, and then move on.

SW
Heroic Epic

[Jaguar]

Pyramids. (I'm a chronic poprusher)

FP

[Skanky Burns]

Great:
Sun Tzu - nice free buildings

Small:
I'll be boring and go with the FP.

I don't think it matters where you place Wall Street.

[Skanky Burns]

IFRC the Wall Street only give you interest based on how much money you have saved up, and only up to $1000. I think the maximum it can add per turn is $50... which is a paltry sum considering the age that you get the wonder in.

[ledj]

GW: Great library
To stay even with AIs in science when playing in deity.
SW: Forbidden city
To reduce corruption

[Boris Godunov]

GW - Colossus edges out others, just for the early moolah advantage

SW - SDI (gotta stop da nukes)

Getting a free 50gpt (once Wall Street has been built) is nothing to scoff at, unless you're somehow generating way more money in your games than I am. 50gpt usually allows me to reduce my research by 1-3 turns, or gives some more negotiating power in diplomacy.

While I don't think Wall Street is better than FP (nor Iron Works, if you can grab it), it still ranks higher than most Great Wonders on my "to do" list.
