Unclaim wonder

[fLaMaster]

How?

[brian7772]

You can't. It literally warns you before picking it.

So, no resources = no wonders to the end. Seems legit(no).

This does not make sense. Will unclaiming give you resources? You claimed one wonder, you are free to build it whenever you want after that you can claim another. You don't have resources now? Wait until you can afford to build it, the wonder is not going anywhere, no one else can build it after you claimed. Also you can build it with several towns at once so it's not that hard.

After unclaim it, i can claim something what can build. I claim hanging gardens, but have zero luxury resources(in 12 districts, lol), so cant claim anything else after past three eras for now. You really think this is good experience?

Maybe you should have paid attention to the requirements of the wonder? Though it shouldn't allow you to claim something you can't actually build IMO.

Nope. Then you could see yourself losing wonder you really wanted and were about to get suitable location soon.

I think preventing planning and preparing ahead is worse than letting people make mistakes by not noticing requirements.

Wait, can you clarify how Hanging Gardens is related to luxury resources in districts? You can't build districts on luxury resources.

You just need to have a Luxury resource in your territory to build that wonder. Almost every territory has at least one, usually 2-3 unless you somehow choose a mode that barely has any when starting a game (is it possible?). And it will extract that resource without the need to build an extractor. Do you not have any luxury resources? And didn't get access to one in three eras?

That's what we call a gamble, and it generally makes for an interesting mechanic. As far as mistakes... Live and learn. Bet our friend always reads the tool tip on his wonders in the future after this.

Wonders can be built anywhere in your lands they don't need to be next to your districts or in the lands the building city controls.
Every region has at lest 1 luxury resource in it as far as I can tell from my games and even if you built something over them you can plop down the hanging gardens over the top.

Sorry, not districts, territories. I have latest era now and cant build any wonders just because have zero resources at all. This is not good.

Sounds like the issue is with resource distribution not wonders. The game makes it very clear that claiming a wonder is final. Weigh your options first next time.

Can you show a screenshot? It sound unbelievable because I see luxury resources everywhere, sometimes 3 in one territory. Was this some special setting that you selected when generating a map (is there "scarce resources" or something?) or just unlucky? Do enemies have resources? Can't you declare war and take enemy resources?

Did you try starting to build it from other towns? I can believe that one city does not have a resource, but 12 territories without a single resource can't really happen.

Latest era? And you still have unclaimed ancient era wonders?

Does sound odd.

But you could try taking one of your armies over your own luxury resources and try ransacking it. Or start war with weak neighbour with suitable grievanve and ransack their luxury resource before calling quits on war and demanding that territory.

OP can't read - proceeds to get grief'd by openly transparent and disclaimed game mechanic. lmfaooooo

Gambling on if you can get wonder or not while having enough resources for it but no territory for it is not really interesting mechanic. Much more interesting IMO is ability to think forward, deny others access to high value wonder while working to get suitable location.
