Later in the game, you can consider using Preserves to exploit them for not being improved. If you build this Wonder, make sure to combine it with the Lady of the Reeds and Marshes pantheon (you can check out the yields provided by this combination in the photo provided). Furthermore, since this is an Ancient Era wonder, you most likely have only explored the area around your Capital, so unless you are playing on the Wetlands map or have the Rainfall setting as Wet, it is impossible to know how many Marsh tiles are near you to plan accordingly.įor that reason, this Wonder is best for Egypt due to their starting bias of Floodplains, or, to a lesser extent, Vietnam due to their Marsh starting bias.
In case of Marshes, the bonus applies to all Marshes in your empire, not just in this city, but since Marsh tiles cannot be improved unless they contain a resource, in the midgame, you will run into an issue on whether you should remove or keep these tiles. The best use for this Wonder is in cities with a lot of Floodplains, since these are the tiles that can be improved for extra Food and Housing, with potential even more yields from Floods. You don't necessarily have to pursue a Scientific Victory for this Wonder to be useful, since these bonuses don't scale, but they surely help you on any path. If you have a sufficient number of Floodplains in one of your city and Marshes in a large area around you, the Etemenanki is a great Wonder for establishing a Production and Science lead over others.
