Industrial Age Wonders

[Redgar]

May be I'd build kremlin though, but I want attacking wonder which have tiny effect now, so I wait too

I have chose Statue of Liberty but I have not yet build it. My lands are cleared nicely for all the buildings.

Is the Brandenburg Gate currently the best choice of wonders?

I guess in comparison to the Statue of Liberty it all comes down to whether you want a 20% bonus on factory units or air units, with the Gate having the additional benefit of a 1/day blitz special.

The Kremlin doesn't seem like a good wonder when it comes to the extra partisans, though a 20% wall bonus seems tempting.

Don't know what to think of the Eiffel Tower, a 12-hour peace treaty once per week doesn't seem like a lot, though it might be useful to some players. The 200k extra for vault storage is not a big deal, especially as a player advances higher up the ladder.

What do you guys think? Brandenburg Gate as the top choice?

The Brandenburg Gate special Blitzkrieg power lasts for a limited time of 14 seconds.

Maybe I should ask for a library tech research that will increase this to something a little more beneficial. ..

 

[Ravenlord]

That's a joke!! (not your comment - the 'power')

 

[astero]

How important is the damage boost to factory units? Or is the blimp and air units in general a more important part to give a 20% damage boost to?

If you like using Heavy Tanks or Gatling Guns, then Brandenburg Gate could be great.

I was thinking more along the lines of the saboteur being able to take down buildings faster. Right now it just takes one charge to take out most, with the Castle and Colosseum being the main exceptions, but as people upgrade their defences it could end up taking double the time to take out each defensive structure like the tower or catapult.

So just wondering how effective air units are and whether the blimp could actually use the 20% bonus or whether it's already strong enough to take everything out.

I think kremlin is the best

 

[FroggyKilla]

Better be safe than sorry.

I think kremlin is the best

Is that just because of the walls? Because the two troops that appear after a farm is fazed doesn't seem that useful.

I put it next to my town center and I think it's pretty good.medals are very important to me.

Seems like it's good for making it much harder for others to break through walls, so yes - I assume it will help when it comes to medals.

Personally I'm still trying to decide whether to go for the SoL or the BG, so basically between a 20% damage boost for air units vs factory units. Unfortunately I don't have an airfield so I have no experience with planes yet...

I like the statue of liberty because with that buff, 3 biplanes can kill any tower in one deployment, which is huge. It does nothing for the zeppelin, though, as it already kills any building in one pass, so only good for biplanes.

Interesting. What level biplanes and towers?

 

[Ravenlord]

I definitely think the bi-plane could use a damage boost - the Zep is powerful enough - and the extra oil, no matter how small, is welcome.
Although, if I ever decide to use my factory units more I would choose BG instead.

The 2 troops might not seem useful but if it distracts or stalls attackers- even for a few seconds - then it gives your defenders time to congregate. For me that's the real advantage - multiple defenders creating a 'funnel' - allowing the towers to do their jobs.
