Building wonders did ... wonders ... to your development. Mostly. It was well balanced and didn't detract you from keeping up in infrastructure or military. The problem was painting a target on your back the size of Texas.

I only did the wonder fail gold thing because economically, I had no sustainable solution with my land. Maybe if I had managed to grab pyramids, I could've gone into a prolific specialist economy, but it didn't happen. It's working right now despite having a good start: the more you grab early, the fewer remain later.
