Best Nation and Wonder Choices!

[Ancient Alien]

Best Nation Choice: Germans for Iron and Classical Age (quicker rally is great for early players), Koreans for Medieval Age and above (Love the 40% damage boost!)

Best Wonder Choice: (For me haha )
- Bronze Age: Stonehenge - Bonus gold is best for advancing civilizations!
- Classical Age: Forbidden City - It makes you harder to defeat (not in my case! )
- Gunpowder Age: Angkor Wat - Healed defenders make them harder to defeat!
- Industrial Age: Statue of Liberty - I love the airplane damage boost!

Also they give bonus resources, Stonehenge: Gold, Forbidden City: Food, Angkor Wat: Trade Good, Statue of Liberty: Oil

The Koreans have a 40% damage boost for their archers, but aren't the Chinese better? Their archers are supposed to shoot "twice as fast" so I think this should be a 100% damage bonus, right?

As for the wonders, I agree with Stonehenge but not with the others.

For instance I would switch the Forbidden City to either the Colosseum (lots of spawning defenders) or Notre Dame (huge savings on library/blacksmith upgrades).

I would also switch Angkor Wat for the Versailles. +10% troop health (even in multiplayer) is not to be looked at lightly. Great wonder.

And in the Industrial Age I think the Brandenburg Gate could be a worthy contender. I think it all depends on whether you want air units to have extra damage (in which case Statue o Liberty is handy) or whether you prefer to give factory units the boost.

The Chinese archers only do 20% more damage. Yes they fire twice as fast, but the game never tells you the dirty little secret that each shot does less damage than normal.

But I prefer to be economic, and the four Wonders stated give bonus Gold, Food, Trade Goods, and Oil respectively.

I think the Koreans are a pretty weak nation. Their 40% damage boost seems almost pathetic on archers and what for are the archers when you have far better alternatives like Gatling gunners?
