Hello! I'm a new player. I've been playing about a month and am about to enter chapter 3.
I am about to complete the rune circles for the first two ancient wonders, Golden Abyss and Tome of Secrets. Thanks to Freddie my Fire Phoenix I have a consistent supply of rune shards, so it will be a week at the most before I can build either one of them. My question is, which one is better for me? I don't plan to build them both right away because I don't want to dedicate that much space in my city.
I understand the general mechanics of them (Golden Abyss provides gold and population, Tome of Secrets provides supplies and knowledge points). What I would like to know is information from more experienced players (especially those in the range of chapters 4 and 5 or who remember their experiences there) about what would work best with my playstyle and what my future needs might be as I advance.
I am leaning toward the Tome of Secrets because I tend to have enough gold most of the time but can run a bit short on supplies. However, I am very judicious in my scouting of the map -- I complete the minimum required number of provinces to advance to the next chapter so as to maximize the benefits of the advanced scouting research. So getting a bonus with each scout will not work out to very much. Having extra population seems nice, and I could use the gold from the Abyss to buy knowledge points or resources at the wholesaler.
In general I like to progress through the game slowly and carefully. I'm all about the journey. I am not trying to rush through chapters to have the biggest and best city, but I do like to take part in tournaments and I loved the Evolution of the Phoenix event. (I got some really great stuff from it, so culture is no problem!)
Which is the best wonder for me to build given my playstyle and future needs? Or should I not build either of these and wait for the Needles and Endless Excavation in the next chapter? I would like to have one of them as a knowledge point sink, as very occasionally (twice so far) I end up not having quite enough supplies or resources to finish a research and move on to the next one so I end up donating KP to my neighbors' wonders (which I'm sure they don't mind).
Thanks for your thoughts!
