Civ 3 Wonder Tier List

31:10 Don't care about my ramblings and just want to see the tier list? Click here! I did this video a couple years back, but my understanding and opinions on the wonders in this game have changed a lot since then. Specifically, I've played a lot of one city culture games, and also learned about how tourism gold works. I should mention, with a lot of these wonders I mention the culture value. THIS IS ONLY RELEVANT IF YOU'RE SERIOUSLY PURSUING A ONE CITY CULTURE VICTORY. Otherwise, the effect of culture on a wonder is basically nothing. Fine print on what is a good wonder: I decided not to count "capturing wonders" when making these decisions. Mostly because it would bias in favor of cheap wonder with local, and not global effects, and I already rated those quite highly. I didn't want to say "actually, The Pyramids isn't that good because if you don't build it, you can capture it. On small maps, if you take an enemies wonder city, you've probably got the game on lock with or without the wonder you took. And on big maps, the odds of capturing any particular wonder is quite low. So even if this factor was included, it wouldn't change much.
