  1. Welcome to BabaYetu's rendition of the World Wonders List for V12.2 of the NQMod. This list of world wonders will encompass all the wonders and describe each wonder of its effect, its purposes, the contention for each wonder, and its general use for what kind of playstyles are best for it. The list will also include what Civilizations can put the wonders to best use compared to others based on their unique traits.
  2.  
  3. This list assumes you have a basic understanding of the game with knowledge of all the yield types, all units, all types of buildings, technologies, city states, playstyles, general terms of civilization multiplayer and anything else I may not have said that should be here. The wonders in the game is considered on quick speed.
  4.  
  5. This list will not include how good they are compared to other wonders, as each wonder has their own purposes for each playstyle. As an example, one can view the Broadway world wonder as a useless wonder for a domination playstyle for someone going for tanks, but someone that is going for cultural victory, the musician from the broadway can be the winning play to bulb the gifted musician into the top culture player's land.
  6.  
  7. The overall description of the wonder will elaborate the positive (+), negative (-), and neutral (=) traits and quirks for each wonder.
  8.  
  9. Most playstyles that will be discussed will be the most common and generally efficient in ways of having a good game with them. There can be more options with each wonder, but might not be as apparent.

  13. Ancient Wonders
  14.  
  15. -----
  16.  
  17.  
  18. Great Library
  19.  
  20. The Great Library can be constructed upon the completion of the Writing technology. It gives a free library in the city it is built in, it gives 3 science and gives a free technology to at the current time. It gives 2 great work of writing slots (theming bonus is to obtain 2 great works of different eras for the same civilization). It also gives one culture per turn and one great scientist point per turn.
  21.  
  22. The Great Library is a highly contested wonder that is known to be the rush a lot of newer players love to go for. It gives the most options for different playstyles and can be a good kick start for science generation with many builds. It is around turn 22-24 for a straight rush for obtaining this wonder. It can go as early as turn 18 with amazing luck.
  23.  
  24. Another key note about Great Library is the opportunity cost of going for Great Library that puts away from building settlers for contested locations that other civilizations can obtain, other infrastructure that can be build to help the economic or growth of the empire more so than Great Library. Just beware of falling into the trap of rushing Great Library to only slow down and lose demographically to other players, especially if the Great Library play leads into many other wonders without truly utilizing the impact of the built wonders (Such as rushing Great Library into Oracle where it slows expands by a very long time, where other civilizations might have 4 cities with 10 population more than your empire with shrines already built in all cities).
  25.  
  26.  
  27.  
  28. Playstyles that Utilize this wonder:
  29.  
  30. Any play that involves an early national college (NC) will want Great Library. This can work with any policy tree start as they all have different plays, such as:
  31.  
  32. Tradition - Can go for early NC to rush for a high science output early into expands, could rush before expands just to get a little more oomph with science. Can also head towards Theology for a Hagia Sophia rush to get a religion if the tradition play with the specific pantheon doesn't give adequate faith per turn. Could in turn head into a slower rush after NC into Petra with higher science output, however a straight rush by someone else could beat the Great Library player.
  33.  
  34. Liberty - A little less common but can still set up NC before expanding many cities. Will secure a cheaper NC early (as more cities increase the production cost of national wonders) and won't have as slow of an early science game.
  35.  
  36. Honor - Push for a very fast crossbow timing (turn 50-65) into an attack towards someone by sacrificing war potential in the early stages against civilizations or city states. Could do play with certain civilizations for an early swordsman attack (Legions with Rome).
  37.  
  38. Piety - Leads into going towards Theology for the Grand Temple build (Uses Apostolic Palace reformation belief) or for Angkor Wat for high early science potential, or Hagia Sophia rush to obtain more holy sites.
  39.  
  40.  
  41. Any play that involves fast Exploration play will almost always want Great Library as it can push opening Exploration up between turns 35-45, and much slower otherwise. All policy tree builds can play into this with different quirks.
  42.  
  43. A rush for certain early game wonders will want Great Library as it can harbour high science output and can leave the empire with high science if the empire fails to gain the wonder they rush for. Such wonder rushes can be for most notably Oracle, Petra, and Colossus.
  44.  
  45. Any play that involves cultural victory with hard tourism as the Great Library gives 2 great work of writing slots.
  46.  
  47.  
  48.  
  49. Civilizations that can utilize this wonder:
  50.  
  51. France's unique ability will give them a great writer with the Great Library and with their free technology, could head into Drama and Poetry for the Parthenon for another free great artist for huge early game tourism with many great works.
  52.  
  53. Maya's unique ability initiates at obtaining Theology technology, so pushing for Great Library into rushing Theology can get early great people. Due to how the Mayan Calendar happens every 394 years, the earlier it begins the more great people can be obtained. The turns for the great people to spawn are as follows (remember, quick speed): 22, 28, 35, 42, 48, 57, 67, 77, 88, 102, 122, 152. However, you need to enter Theology 2 turns before getting the great person. So timing wisely entering Theology to get certain great people to make interesting plays.
  54.  
  55. Korea's unique ability will allow it to generate a free boost of science from the Great Library as it has a science amount from it. It will also get a boost from the free library as well (if Korea did not make one before hand). This can help push tech in any direction of its choosing a bit faster).
  56.  
  57. Babylon with their free great scientist at Philosophy technology can be obtained immediately from using the free tech from Great Library to help their science generation game faster than any other empire in the early stages.
  58.  
  59.  
  60.  
  61. Overall
  62.  
  63.  
  64. + Many different utilities for the free technology, allowing many different playstyles to occur from it
  65. + Free library
  66. = Useful for cultural victory, Slightly useful for science victory
  67. - Highly contested
  68. - Stunted gameplay if beat to Great Library when attempting for it
  69.  
  70.  
  71. ---
  72.  
  73.  
  74. Great Lighthouse
  75.  
  76. The Great Lighthouse can be constructed upon obtaining the Optics technology and having a coastal city to build it in. It gives 1 gold from all water tiles (ocean, coastal, and lake tiles, not Lake Victoria however), it gives a free lighthouse in the city it is built in, a free great admiral, and one extra sight and movement for all military naval units (not admirals). It gives one culture per turn and one great merchant point per turn.
  77.  
  78. The Great Lighthouse is great for helping with gold generation for the water tiles in the city it is constructed, which also helps yield more gold in trade routes with to other civilizations and city states. The Admiral is very handy in allowing scouting out land and city states on the coast or in the ocean. It can help in later stages of the game with naval combat against other players, and allowing faster mobility to get to others quicker after upgrading and pushing with the naval units. In case there is ever a city state quest for an admiral, this would be the go to wonder.
  79.  
  80. The Great Lighthouse is one of the few wonders you DO NOT want to sell the lighthouse (if it is already built in the city) before the completion of the wonder. This is because the food and production that is given from the lighthouse is counted BEFORE the production of the Great Lighthouse, so the growth and production towards the wonder will be lost if the lighthouse is sold (People generally sell the building before making a wonder for the matching free building for the gold obtained from it, gold per turn doesn't count as it is counted AFTER all buildings and units are made in cities).
  81.  
  82.  
  83.  
  84. Playstyles that Utilize this wonder:
  85.  
  86. Any play that incorporates gold generation from trade routes, which would involve Commerce play or Patronage play, as they can yield higher gold per turn which coincides with a lot of aspects of this playstyle, especially towards late game when 9 or more potential trade routes can be sent to civilizations or city states.
  87.  
  88. Exploration can benefit from scouting with the great admiral on finding land to settle expands on the coastline (not so much Polynesia, since they already have the ability of entering ocean tiles).
  89.  
  90. Any form of early game trireme rush as the extra movement can help push into cities and with low health triremes, can be instantly repaired by the great admiral to resume smashing.
  91.  
  92.  
  93.  
  94. Civilizations that can utilize this wonder:
  95.  
  96. Coastal Morocco with their unique ability to combine for more gold per turn with trade routes to other city states or civilizations.
  97.  
  98. Coastal Shoshone can benefit with the great admiral scouting to find ruins they can obtain early or waiting until Astronomy technology to obtain with Pathfinders to choose what type of ruins they want.
  99.  
  100. Sweden obtains science from the great admiral spawning.
  101.  
  102.  
  103.  
  104. Overall
  105.  
  106. + Naval mobility and sight for war
  107. + Admiral useful to explore scoutable and unscoutable lands in the early game
  108. + Helpful extra gold yield on sea resources
  109. = Free lighthouse
  110. = Sometimes contested with coastal civilizations
  111.  
  112.  
  113. ---
  114.  
  115.  
  116. Mausoleum of Halicarnassus
  117.  
  118. The Mausoleum of Halicarnassus can be created after researching Masonry technology. It gives 2 gold per turn from every quarry tile in the city, and it gives 100 gold whenever a great person is expended. It gives one culture per turn and one great merchant point per turn.
  119.  
  120. Mausoleum of Halicarnassus is a gold wonder that helps with the burst effect of gold generation from using great people. If fortunate enough, it can help with gold generation with a reasonable amount of quarry tiles in the city it is built in. It can help in many degrees of the game, mostly tailored to cultural plays or military plays. Due to the NQMod, the counters for great merchant, great engineer, and great scientist have been separated. This can allow a lot more potential great people to spawn and only makes the Mausoleum worth that much more. Expecting to spawn 3 or more of each type of great person can yield a ridiculous amount of gold, especially depending on the playstyle.
  121.  
  122.  
  123.  
  124. Playstyles that Utilize this wonder:
  125.  
  126. Any playstyle that revolves around high faith per turn with purchasing great people and the spawned prophets. This can allow more gold yield from the wonder.
  127.  
  128. Aesthetics play as it can generate a large quantity of great artists, great writers, and great musicians. Even better if paired with faith generation it can give 3 sets of great people that can be purchased.
  129.  
  130. Military play that can use the gold from burning many great people for upgrading many units for a timing attack. More suited around crossbowman timings and later, as early game units (composite bowmen) can't really benefit from this as Mausolleum isn't put to good use until after the game progresses a bit further.
  131.  
  132. Any play that may have issues building infrastructure, or for rushing an ideology by using gold generated from using great people to buy their corresponding buildings. Such plays such as One City Challenge (OCC) plays that can't afford spending turns to build infrastructure or getting an instant ideology by purchasing a factory.
  133.  
  134.  
  135.  
  136. Civilizations that can utilize this wonder:
  137.  
  138. Maya with their Mayan Calendar with spawning more great people can benefit from the Mausoleum.
  139.  
  140. France with their extra great artists, writers, and musicians spawning from their unique ability can give them extra cash compared to other civilizations.
  141.  
  142.  
  143.  
  144. Overall
  145.  
  146. + Burst effect of gold, useful for timing attacks
  147. + Easy and simple gold generation without requiring a large empire or trade routes to other city states or civilizations
  148. + 2 gold per turn from quarries
  149. - Contested wonder
  150.  
  151.  
  152. ---
  153.  
  154.  
  155. Pyramids
  156.  
  157. The Pyramids is available after researching Masonry technology and opening the Liberty policy tree. It gives two workers in the city it is built in, and it gives 25% worker construction speed. It gives one culture per turn and one great engineer point per turn.
  158.  
  159. A wonder that has been nerfed wonderfully with the NQMod. The worker's production cost was lowered making the 2 workers from the Pyramids worth less. The construction speed has been altered with NQMod, where roads and railroads can no longer be finished in one turn, reducing the mobility and effectiveness of many pushes. The chopping times of the jungles has been reduced to equal a forest, making the Pyramids almost worthless with reducing some construction times of some improvements by one. The biggest appeal of the wonder is having 10 city states having a quest for you to build it at turn 150 because no one else will.
  160.  
  161.  
  162.  
  163. Playstyles that Utilize this wonder:
  164.  
  165. If there is a ridiculous amount of land to improve in an empire with a lot of cities, having the Pyramids can help reduce the build times of improving a lot of the tiles faster. Can save a turn improving strategic resources in the late game with a mine by a turn.
  166.  
  167. Any civilization that wants to build ALL the wonders, and I do mean ALL, by sacrificing a policy to open liberty to build this.
  168.  
  169. If the congress obtains Cultural Heritage Sites, the Pyramids can gain culture for something, who knows what, to build this.
  170.  
  171. Can give a city an extra engineer point where ever it is built.
  172.  
  173.  
  174.  
  175. Civilizations that can utilize this wonder:
  176.  
  177. There are no civilizations that get any clear benefit from making this wonder.
  178.  
  179.  
  180.  
  181. Overall
  182.  
  183. + Non-existent contention for this wonder
  184. + Lowers the construction speed of some tile improvements by one
  185. - Waste of production
  186. - Requires Liberty
  187.  
  188.  
  189. ---
  190.  
  191.  
  192. Statue of Zeus
  193.  
  194. The Statue of Zeus can be made after obtaining Bronze Working technology. It gives 15% combat strength when attacking cities. It gives one culture per turn.
  195.  
  196. A wonder that can showcase for people early aggression going for cities with a slightly bigger ease, or to complete for city state quests. Can help push into civilizations that make the Great Wall a bit easier for early war.
  197.  
  198.  
  199.  
  200. Playstyles that Utilize this wonder:
  201.  
  202. Any war play before Artillery come onto the battlefield can have some slight use for the Statue of Zeus. Trireme/ Caravel smashing can help with the wonder, as the quality of attacking and the lack of being able to heal without promotions or admirals can be costly for naval melee attacks. Any Civilization with a need to slam with massive amounts of melee units can benefit more with the wonder.
  203.  
  204. Pushing into a player with Great Wall might be too costly unless Statue of Zeus is obtained.
  205.  
  206.  
  207.  
  208. Civilizations that can utilize this wonder:
  209.  
  210. Any early unit unique that could utilize slaming with melee units into cities with a lack of ranged.
  211.  
  212.  
  213.  
  214. Overall
  215.  
  216. + Slight help with attacking cities
  217. = Not contested
  218. - Make neighbouring civilizations weary with the completion of the wonder
  219.  
  220.  
  221. ---
  222.  
  223.  
  224. Stonehenge
  225.  
  226. The Stonehenge is available after getting Calendar technology and opening the Piety policy tree. It gives 3 faith per turn and gives 100 faith after it is created. It allows purchasing of tiles with culture or gold by 25% for the whole empire. It gives one great engineer point per turn.
  227.  
  228. The Stonehenge guarantees a first or second religion if made in a reasonable time frame to obtain very important religion picks for the Piety player to set his sights on the strategy that will be imposed for his game. If there are multiple players in piety that are heading towards Stonehenge, it can cripple the other civilizations that lose out on the wonder as it could lead to the failed rushers losing religion perks that they coveted. This can have a negative downspiral the further the game goes on, as other treasured wonders can be obtained to forfeit their ideal play.
  229.  
  230.  
  231.  
  232. Playstyles that Utilize this wonder:
  233.  
  234. Any play that involves Piety that doesn't have a reasonable faith generation from pantheon or unique ability will probably require Stonehenge to get a religion before many of their beliefs are obtained. Can still help push even harder for players with faith generation to get to the second prophet faster.
  235.  
  236. Any play that involves buying a large amount of tiles as prices increase after each one. Such plays can be for a Petra with many desert hills, as they are expensive, or a large empire thats trying to buy all the mountain tiles in the empire.
  237.  
  238.  
  239.  
  240. Civilizations that can utilize this wonder:
  241.  
  242. No civilizations get a clear benefit from making this wonder.
  243.  
  244.  
  245.  
  246. Overall
  247.  
  248. + Earlier religion, which leads to faster religion game
  249. - Contested
  250. - Stunted gameplay if beat to Stonehenge when attempting for it
  251. - Requires Piety
  252.  
  253.  
  254. ---
  255.  
  256.  
  257. Temple of Artemis
  258.  
  259. The Temple of Artemis can be created after obtaining Archery technology and opening the Honor policy tree. It gives 10% extra growth in all cities and 15% production for ranged units in this city. It gives one culture per turn and one great engineer point per turn.
  260.  
  261. One of the best wonders for simcity due to how the growth works in the cities. It does not relate to the surplus of the food, but the total food being produced, making it incredibly strong. This will help any empire with adequate happiness to grow faster than other empires in general.
  262.  
  263.  
  264.  
  265. Playstyles that Utilize this wonder:
  266.  
  267. Any play that is seeking maximum growth for the empire will want this wonder.
  268.  
  269. A play that will revolve around attacking with ranged units can produce more at a higher speed, and with opening Honor for the wonder, can play well into war.
  270.  
  271.  
  272.  
  273. Civilizations that can utilize this wonder:
  274.  
  275. Aztec is the perfect civilization for this wonder as Aztec's unique ability allows them to generate culture, and with opening Honor, they can obtain more culture from killing barbarians, and with farming barbarian camps (keeping units near barbarian camps to destroy the barbarians, but never taking the encampments) can push culture to a very high degree. Paired with their Floating Gardens, they will not be stopped other than by happiness in highest growth yield (unless there is a Siam patronage 12 maritime city state contender with Swords into Plowshares).
  276.  
  277. Any civilization that has a ranged unique unit that could use the production from the wonder paired with aggression from opening or going Honor.
  278.  
  279.  
  280.  
  281. Overall
  282.  
  283. + Excellent wonder that promotes simcity play (growth for more science for more citizens sooner to work specialists easier)
  284. + Great for all forms of play
  285. + Slight benefit for the creation of ranged units in the city it is built in
  286. - Heavily Contested, except stops some playstyles from obtaining due to needing a policy to unlock honor
  287. - Requires Honor opener
  288.

  295.  
  296.  
  297. Colossus
  298.  
  299. The Colossus is available after getting Iron Working technology and can only be built in a coastal city. It gives a free trade route, a cargoship the Colossus is built in, 5 gold per turn, 2 extra gold from trade routes to city states or civilizations and 1 extra gold to the receiver. It gives one culture per turn and one great merchant point per turn.
  300.  
  301. A wonder that can give a free trade route, which can be diverse in its use to give strength in one area or another. It can obtain gold generation, allow more growth or production across the empire. Having the wonder itself will yield more gold for trade routes, which will promote any form of commerce or patronage play.
  302.  
  303.  
  304.  
  305. Playstyles that Utilize this wonder:
  306.  
  307. Any playstyle that involves gold generation. Can work very well when paired with Great Lighthouse or other gold wonders for a nice coastal gold generating empire.
  308.  
  309. An exploration empire that has a large amount of cities to allow every city to obtain a trade route to allow for all the expands to get productive and strong as soon as possible.
  310.  
  311.  
  312.  
  313. Civilizations that can utilize this wonder:
  314.  
  315. Portugal with their unique ability of obtaining more gold from trade routes, will benefit even more with another available trade route.
  316.  
  317. Morocco from yielding extra culture and gold by sending the free trade route to a city state or civilization.
  318.  
  319. Germany can allow their cities to have 5% more production from the Hanse with the trade route going to a city state.
  320.  
  321. Netherlands with yielding more gold from their luxuries can obtain a little bit more gold from the extra trade route.
  322.  
  323.

  333.  
  334.  
  335. Great Wall
  336.  
  337. The Great Wall can be constructed after acquiring Engineering technology. It gives a free building, known as a Watch Tower, that is essentially identical to a walls (5 extra defense and 50 extra health for the city). It gives a free walls in the city it is built in. Gives one culture per turn and one great engineer point per turn.
  338.  
  339. The great wall is very helpful in defense and slowing down an attack into the civilization due to the increase defense and health. It can buy time to build military units to defend the attacker. It can also be nice to obtain to prevent another player from getting the Great Wall to allow yourself to push into others with a bit more ease, or in a more quick pace to have a faster set up time with the new empire.
  340.  
  341.  
  342.  
  343. Playstyles that Utilize this wonder:

  357. + Provides city strength to survive or buy enough time for an attack
  358. + Good deterrent from an early based attack
  359. = Not contested
  360.  
  361.  
  362. ---
  363.  
  364.  
  365. Hanging Gardens
  366.  
  367. The Hanging Gardens is allowed to be built after researching Mathematics technology and unlocking the Tradition policy tree. It gives 6 food per turn and a free gardens in the city it is constructed in. It gives one culture per turn and one great engineer point per turn.
  368.  
  369. The Hanging Gardens is the staple of tradition to give early growth to help a city become a strong dominant force by being able to work more tiles faster, or able to support working pure production from the free growth to push certain wonders before others. The Hanging Gardens can help with being able to obtain the gardens in a city that would naturally not be able to get a gardens if it was not on a fresh water source (adjacent to a river, lake, oasis, or Lake Victoria).
  370.  
  371.  
  372.  
  373. Playstyles that Utilize this wonder:
  374.  
  375. A play that focuses towards building early wonders can benefit from the growth to grow and/or work tiles to build other key wonders. Such plays can be the Great Library into Hanging Gardens into Petra build, which with the right land can lead to an incredible game for obtaining a decent amount of wonders with the correct lobby of players. This can lead to early engineers from multiple great engineer points to be able to obtain any medieval wonder of the civilization's choosing.
  376.  
  377. Any tradition game that has a focus for growth will want the Hanging Gardens.
  378.  
  379.  
  380.  
  381. Civilizations that can utilize this wonder:
  382.  
  383. Indonesia with their unique building (Candi) can get free faith per turn from the Hanging Gardens, which can help generate more faith per turn towards a prophet, and lead to higher faith per turn from other religions in the city.
  384.  
  385.  
  386.  
  387. Overall
  388.  
  389. + Extra growth to support simcity play better
  390. + Free gardens that doesn't require fresh water

  401.  
  402. An incredibly strong wonder in almost every right due to how important culture is in the NQMod. All policies are adequate and having more policies allows more openings and playstyles of what to do. It is one of, if not the most contested wonder in the game and it deserves so. Typical timings for the wonder being build range between turn 40-48 if someone tries to rush for it with great library or heading straight to Philosophy technology, however, can go a bit later from a liberty engineer finisher play at around turn 50-58. The free policy does not increase the culture costs, and can help large empires for it.

  411.  
  412. A piety player with a lack of culture can obtain the Oracle to finish piety faster to obtain the free prophet and obtain or enhance the religion to allow their play to benefit faster in their religious play.
  413.

  437.  
  438. The Parthenon is a decent culture wonder that gives a bit of early culture as it gives 4 culture from the wonder itself, and then 2 culture from the great work of art that is given. If the Oracle is not available to obtain, Parthenon is a good substitute. Its great work of art is especially handy if the civilization is planning on theming the Hermitage (3 great works of art, all different eras and same civilization for theming) as it provides a great work at an era that great artists do not typically spawn in.
  439.  
  440.

It gives a free caravan in the city it is built in, a free trade route, and one food and production from all desert tiles that are not flatland on rivers (floodplains) or mountain/ world wonder tiles. It gives one culture per turn, however, at Archeology technology, it becomes 6 culture per turn. It gives one great engineer point per turn.
  468.  
  469. A strong wonder in the game, it gives a free trade route and caravan, which has many dynamics available due to its versatility in use. Depending on the terrain, it has the potential to be the strongest wonder for the city it is built in, in the game with the right setup. With an empire that has 16 reasonable desert tiles to work, it will yield an extra 16 food and 16 hammers if all those tiles are worked. However, in the NQMod, Petra has indirectly been weakened a slight bit due to the NQMap and the quality of tiles being abundant everywhere, with reasonable river systems in many places as well. Coastal spawns generally have 3 sea luxuries with 1 or more fish tiles, that can become incredibly strong with lighthouse and fishing boat (become 4 food 2 hammer tiles) with not too great of a cost compared to Petra (getting to Currency technology, making the wonder, hope no one else obtains).

  505.  
  506. The terracotta is available at Construction technology. It gives a copy of every different type of land unit currently owned at the city this is built in. It gives one culture per turn.
  507.  
  508. A wonder that has the role of defense or attack by spawning multiple units to attack into or defend from a civilization. It can be stronger the later it is built, as the wonder costs a set amount of production, for every unit extra from the wonder, will make the Terracotta Army that much more valuable.

  517.  
  518.  
  519.  
  520. Civilizations that can utilize this wonder:

The units barbarians have are all unique and different to normal units a civilization builds, as they look different and may be called different, and do not rely on strategic resources (barbarian swordsmen do not require iron, barbarian horsemen do not require horses). If these and many of these types of units are obtained, the Terracotta Army WILL give a free copy of those units, including if you had your own type of that same unit (barbarian archer and normal archer the civilization created). This can lead to a large amount of troops no other civilization can compare to.

The temple can be sold the turn before the Hagia Sophia is made (if it is made and it can be sold) as the free temple will replace the temple, so it can save a bit of gold for that one turn. There are some situations where it would not be good to sell it, such as religious centers or feed the world, where it will benefit the growth or producing the wonder, as every other yield doesn't factor in until after the wonder is created).

It gives a load of happiness (before NQMod, it was known as Young Pioneers) and a free policy, which will give a huge amount of benefit for the empire, almost always confirming the empire to have happiness for the rest of the game. Order in general has a lot of happiness policies (Party Leadership, 3 happiness per city, and Ministry of Railways, 3 happiness per city connected with a railroad) with another policy (Communism, reduces happiness from ideological pressure by 75%) that negates the effect of ideological dissidents by a fair amount. This makes Kremlin not always necessary to rush, as it is not directly leading to research labs, but it can be considered, especially if the civilization is heading towards landships or tanks and ignoring research labs.
