Do you have ivory?

[flamingrubys]

yep i still do and i can build most things rn such as the oracle or sun tzus art of war

[flamingrubys]

like it straight up wont show in my production queue and i know i have the tech for it

Oracle and Sun Tzu dont require any resource. You need a resource hooked to build Zeus besides the tech. It also wont show up if it has been built.

Check F7 it shows what wonders are built, and are being built by AI civs.

The AI get a slight discount on Monarch. Before this, the player can more easily pick up all the wonders because the AI are stupid and dont know how to prioritize terrain development and that. Especially on Emperor, is where you want to build very few wonders. The wonders you do, have to be planned and most are not in the Ancient Era.

Well is that the problem? that they built the wonders already? (would like to add that the iroquis and inca own half and half with a few belonging to the mayans

during the first 50 or so turns and by then the ai had already pretty much just ♥♥♥♥♥♥ me

On Chieftain and Warlord the AI get penalties. On Regent it is a flat playing field with no bonuses or penalties to player or AI. Monarch and above, slowly more bonuses are applied. On Emperor there is about a 50% discount on buildings, units, techs, etc. This is how the game applies more difficulty, instead of improving the intelligence. The AI dont actually get smarter at all. It is a challenge however. Emperor is a nice balance of challenge for the experienced player. There is enough of a challenge in keeping up in the tech race, and in warfare.

[flamingrubys]
