  • Statue of Liberty - Extremely Important?

    In my games, the Statue of Liberty is the "must get" wonder, for the no attrition effects. Has anyone else experienced this, or am I overrated the Statue?

    I'd consider it only if the Russians were in the game... it has some other nice bonuses.

    I consider colossus and eifel my must gets.

          In Information Age the extra pop is, of course, fantastic. 50 more units in those huge battles mean that you win them. Still, Statue of Liberty is outstanding .

            yeah Ive recently learned that they could have +10,000 percent atrition and the statue of liberty, with its -100 percent, negates it. insane....

              I still don't think SoL is all that great. Collosus and ToT (and maybe AW) are my favorites for the early game. For late game i like kremlin and eifel tower (and of course the inf age wonders ROCK).

                Eiffel Tower is great for economy, yeah... ToT is something I can live without, though, usually.

                    I'd never turn down a wonder- you can just put any one of them in my backyard.

                    I like them all, and each have their bonuses.

                      yea, i never bother with ToT. i usually have a decent (not booming) timber economy, right up until it becomes relatively obsolete. i never find myself that short changed.

                        Someone had a post on the heavengames about a great use of SoL: Use it to upgrade, for free, lots of oil-dependent units like heavy cavalry. No need to go to the market and suddenly buy up a lot of oil to start producing tanks. Simply make a ton of heavy cav. and make the SoL. Then, roll into enemy territory with no worries about attritions.

                          Statue of Liberty has to be one of the best Wonders. I like the no attrition as a side bonus; the free upgrades is wonderful. Especially when playing as Egypt: build the Statue in the Enlightenment Age, then as soon as you hit Industrial all of your cavalry get upgraded to tanks absolutely free and instantly. It's great to launch an Enlightenment Age attack when you have the Statue and are about to hit Industrial Age.

                            And a nice little twist - while enemy might have many Pikemen and be very happy with them against your cavalry, the moment they turn into Tanks, his pikemen are wasted.

                              lol ud have to be 2 ages up on your enemy. wouldnt be too hard to win from that position anyway.
