In case you haven't noticed - Hanging Gardens is the best wonder

[Otleaz]

It doesn't say it, but it gives you the enhanced bonus of whatever luxury you build it on.

I am a Stonehenge fan with monotheism on normal difficulty, or fallback to Artemis. But after a while I let go of Artemis because on Endless Speed by the time I build it, I seem to have already uncovered most of my continent, and I do not war much so in many ways it almost becomes mute apart from the stability and faith as well as moving units across my empire and the occasional defence.

The hanging garden info needs to be updated as I never get to pick it. However I do like discovering the hidden strategies in the game, (almost hidden due to lack of info on many mechanics).

All Antiquity and Classical Wonders are great. The Medieval, Early Modern and Industrial ones, except for Eiffel Tower and Mach Pichu, are meh, and the Contemporary good ones are the Sydney Opera House, and Cristo Redentor.

Empire State buildings is also not bad, but stuff like Big Ben and Statue of Liberty, is only good if you either won several Wars or have a massive Culture spread, while Topkaki is only good if you are building more Wonders.

If you are losing on Religion, though, Notre Dame and Saint Basil's will turn that around super quick.

Hanging gardens will give every single city +10 stability per luxury of that type you own. If you have 6, that is +60 stability for every city in your nation.

Do you keep the bonus if you trade the luxury?

Each resource can creates 3 copies 1 for personal use, 1 for trade and the last is a Merchant civ special only copy only and lets them buy a resource from empire A and sell it to empire C.

Eiffel Tower is an excellent wonder late game. Haven't built Notre Dame yet.

Can you still get patronage later on or does the wonder version count?

The wonder act like a patronage its very strong.

Lol, it doesn't say anything like that in the description, I thought it was the worst wonder in the game. Oh well, I'm still going to take temple of Artemis over it

Love the Temple of Artemis for the ability to traipse through woods easily. Such a pain otherwise.

Giza 25% build time reduction on districts is clearly the best. XD

Ah, but Stonehenge lets you snowball as long as you don't let your religion get eaten by a rival.

This is my biggest gripe with religion in the game: someone else starts picking tenets on it? Like okay, they should get their own choices in their own version/branch of the religion I founded, but how on earth do they pick tenets that *I* am then bound to?

Stonehenge (or any faith-based wonder) feels iffy to take because some depend on a particular tenet, and then a random CPU goes off and grabs one that I also am now having to follow.

I feel like Civ did this better. If I found a religion, I should have to compete for tenets I want, but shouldn't have to worry that some stupid CPU is now picking for me. Even if they have more faith or whatever, they should be picking for themselves and just getting first dibs, not locking me into a tenet of their choosing.

I don't understand.

In my games, the tenets are a race and if you don't pick first, you're locked out of whatever choices the NPC religions chose. I usually get a less than stellar pick for the 1st tenet, but then my population takes off and I always get first choice on the 2nd-4th teir tenets. I say population because I go with Shamanism which produces faith based on population. If you build population, your religion spreads like wildfire and it just gets faster and stronger as it starts spreading to other continents.

Basically, I'm saying I get to choose the tenets of my religion and I'm in a race to choose the ones I want against the other religions. I'm wondering why you don't get to.
