Poll-Favorite Wonder

[Xarathas]

Hmm.. GW is split. Monarchy and lower my favorite would be Hoover Dam. Emperor&Deity, it would have to be the Great Library and Sisteen Chapel as a close second.

SW - Iron Works.. provided that I actually have a city that can build the damn thing. Doesn't always happen

What about Battlefield Medicine? Would be nicer of course if we got it earlier.

[Giovanni Wine]

Ok!
This mean I will have to withdraw my prevous vote for Forbidden Palace!

Let's see







Heroic Epic
Nice to have a few more leaders (read: wonders) during a game

GW:bach
Its way better than sistine. Bach gives u instant benefit, not like sistine.
SW:Iron works
Its so rare, i am allways happy to be able to build it.

Great Lighthouse

Splendid isolationist, on veryvery watery worlds-

Military Academy

Slightly modded, instead of victorious army prereq. of 5 Universities; to compensate for the lack of early wars (hehe-)-

[DogCiv]

Favorite Wonder = TOE

Theory of Evolution

Allows you to set science to Zero for 8-12 turns it takes to build during Industrial age. This can mean an extra 2500-3000 gold, as well as the two free advances!

Great: Adam Smith's Trading House.
Lotsa free $, just buy coliseums for

Small: If not FP, then Wall Street.
Allows an extra 10% science, or luxury, or both, while maintaining your income.

Great Wonder: I would go with Hoover Dam. This leads to very fast production in the modern era. It means fast unit production. Plus, you save production from not having to make the hydro plants! On top of that, they make less pollution than coal plants. What's not to love here?

Small Wonder: Not including Forbidden Palace, I would go for Wall Street. 50 gold per turn, AWESOME! This is usually much bigger than Smiths, unless you play on really big maps and build marketplaces and banks much more than you should be. Come on, compare Smith savings to Wall Street. In most normal size games, the street will earn you more money.

:sigh: People still think Smith is the best. Quit playing Civ 2!

[King of Rasslin]

BTW, anyone see what Hoover Dam can do under mobilization?

[delsolsi]

Well I'm just a newbie but so far,

Great Wonder:
Hover Dam
I was going to say Theory of Evolution at first but after reading the response I remembered about Hover Dam. Free hydros in all cities, even ones that normally can not get a hydro.

Small Wonder:
Wall Street
All the extra cash lets you spend more on reaserch. Too bad its capped at 50 gold.



As a testament to my newbieness, I have never seen and have no idea what Iron works is so I'm going to look it up as soon as I'm done with this post.

EDIT:
I just looked up Iron works, pretty sweet but I'll still stick with Wall Street. Plus with my bad luck it will only show up in a city were all but one of my shields are corrupted.
