lamplitersniper Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 I know ive seen similar topics but the search on here is horrible. So im looking to get my 1st national wonder. Im close to the 5k infra jump so i want the wonder first. I believe its between SSS, interstate, or stock market? as i believe those are considered the best to get first? any help is appreciated...maybe even a complete list of order of wonders to buy. thanks!

Rozalia Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 You should have got one earlier but the SSS is proberly best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova Bacia Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 yes, i'm in the same situation as you and i'm buying the SSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDave Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 SSS is probably the most profitable but many go with the SM because it is a few days less saving to get. Interstate is usually third or fourth with the DRA taking the slot it doesn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3 mm picks Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Disaster Relief Agency is only worth it if you are a tech whore or banking nation. With my old nation I got the Stock Market first, and it pays off the fastest. But the most effective is SSS. Now i restarted, and my nation has nothing.

Zangmonkey Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 With the math, the SM pays itself off the fastest and gives you only slightly less income than the SSS. That said, I bought a SM first, and I will most likely buy the SSS next. Following that I plan on buying the Interstate and then doing massive infra pumps.

Drai Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 I would get Stock Market first and then Social Security System. You'll probably profit more that way. Then interstate system would be third followed by the Great Temple and Internet. I'm just getting the Disaster Relief Agency as my 6th wonder, only because I'm a banking nation for my alliance, I hadn't needed it until this point.

GTTofAK Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 I use to think that 6th aid slot from a DRA wasn't worth much. Then as a sitter I got into an all out nuke war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Internet is made of lose though compared to the other wonders at the price... I have SS and Interstate. I think I will go with Research next. +5% pop is more than +$10.00 ($3.00 taxable) I'd get with SM Edited October 1, 2007 by King Yak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDave Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 I'd attribute the difference of Internet / Temple / Monument to the fact that some people may be role-playing and wanting specific Govt's / Religions without the penalties.

Bob Sanders Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 (edited) Interesting. Internet is made of lose though compared to the other wonders at the price...I have SS and Interstate. I think I will go with Research next. +5% pop is more than +$10.00 ($3.00 taxable) I'd get with SM To be clear the stock market is the same as 5 happiness, assuming you have all your banks, schools, unis, and an SSS you will get $1.24 per happiness point making the stock market worth $6.20 in taxes per citizen collected per day. You can test the $1.24 number by selling an Intelligence Agency and buying it back although I'm pretty sure its right.

MegaVolt Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Starting at 3999 infra: SM SSS DRA GT Buy infra or be bank? Infra => Interstate, else Internet Research Lab Got 3000 tech already? Great University Starting at 4999 infra: Build SM after DRA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rozalia Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 No. Buy infra instead. Then what makes buying one at 3999.99 so good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALFERALFER Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 The jump from 2999.99 to 3999.99 with perfect trades, 5 factories & the right government costs about 39 million and adds about 16k pop. The jump from 3999.99 to 4999.99 is over 66 million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDave Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 and adds about 16k pop. No, it doesn't add that many. Nowhere near. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingdom of Royalty Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 I would have thought a wonder not necc. till at least 5000 infra? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTTofAK Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 The magic multiplier is 2.076 with all % income improvements. So for the 5% pop boost from a research lab you will need to have $415.19 individual daily income for it to be better than any of the +5 happiness $10.00 wonders, $332.15 individual daily income for it to be better than any of the +4 happiness wonders, and $249.11 daily income for it to be better than the +3s. So given a normal build it should come in somewhere the middle of the +5 splurge of stock market, great temple, great monument, internet.
