Civilization IV/World Wonders

Angkor Wat
Cost: 500 (double production rate with stone)

Requires: Philosophy

Expires: Computers

GPP: +2 priset

Effect:

- +8 culture

- +1 hammer from priest

- 3 more priest slot

Comment: A wonder geared towards Great People Strategy. This wonder tends to make your cities producing prophets in the mid to late game when you really want something else. I therefore avoid it. However, its affect is not bad if you want extra production for your military.

Chichen Itza
Cost: 500 (double production rate with stone)

Requires: Code of Laws

Expires: Rifling

GPP: +2 priset

Effect:

- +6 culture

- +25% defense in all cities

Comment: I never build this wonder. Partly because I am always the aggressor, and partly because I usually have enough prophets. +25% defense might seem a significant advantage, but if you consider that it still can be negated by siege units, you realize that it is a waste of hammer that can be used to produce unit that actually do the defenses. The only reason I can think of that you would like to build it is to prevent the AI building it.

Eiffel Tower
Cost: 1250 (double production rate with Iron)

Requires: Radio, Forge

GPP: +2 Merchant

Effect:

- +6 culture

- Free broadcast tower in every city

Comment: A rather late wonder. I am usually dominating that I can build it with relative ease and little competition. The broadcast tower +25% culture, add happiness with the cultural slider and double happiness from movies, musicals and hits. To say the truth, broadcast tower is not expensive, and I primarily build it just to reduce micromanagement. If you are facing fierce competition, turn your attention to Hollywood, Rock n' Roll instead
