      -eurekas are the same as garrison strength, as in they all use "own" not "produce," you won't get a eureka unless you need to own 3 of your most expensive production unit and they ALL get produced on the same turn, so it's really insignificant.

    Force Endturn is SHIFT+Enter (check your settings if you changed in the past and forgot); Also you can buy great people (engineers) that give points toward completing wonders, however there are not a lot of engineers that do this in the pool, 4-5 maybe. so you will have to monitor the great people purchase option and buy with gold /faith when one comes up. Adding this as well as i just remembered, a couple other recently added great people can buy a citystate or give you suzerian (admiral)

    Jon, some other potential tools to help in a no production run: harvesting forests in cities with Magnus to allow you to build wonders (good for early districts, although too late for that now), trading your extra luxuries to AI for more gold, forming alliances to improve trade route yields.

    24:53 Yes the building's base output is less than the standard mine, but it gives its city a +25% bonus to gold production. If you look in the top left, your gold production went from 67.2 to 71.2 I think because of that bonus, so you should build them in cities with a lot of gold. The best way to figure it out is just to do the math and see if you get more from the +25% bonus or from keeping a higher base output.

    You could get wonders (with a tiny bit of cheating) if you were playing as China. Buy builders, and have them spam their upgrades on the wonder. The downside here is that you can't do it all in one go, and so you'd contribute a tiny amount of production to the wonder each turn. However, if you really spammed the builders, then you'd use the same amount of build charges, and have spent the same amount of builder charges regardless, so it wouldn't be a violation of the rules in spirit.

    Would using a great engineer's ability to provide production to Wonders work in this ruleset? Admittedly, getting the right great engineers wouldn't be easy.

    Arabia is guaranteed the last great prophet in the game guaranteeing you get a religion. once you get a holy site down you can just spam religious units until you have a doomstack and then rush down.
    you can build wonders and walls by faith/gold buying great engineers. also china can build ancient and classical wonders with builder charges
    Ethiopia has voidsingers faith into culture, science, and gold already built in
    rusia had such a good early game that they were one of the only civs to get nerfed. They are now just S- instead of S+ now.
    Khemri got some really insane buffs. They have multiple ways of boosting housing, food, amenities, and faith in their cities. They also get a large amount of faith and culture just from population.

    The only way you can win this game is by Culture or Domination. You can't go with a science victory, because that can only be done by working city projects, religion is out of the question because you didn't find one, and Diplomacy requires you to get the Statue of Liberty and the Elfie Tower. Culture you can spam Rock Bands, steal great works, or buy great works off the AI, and Domination all you have to do is capture the capital, but this would allow you to steal wounders off the AI, which in turn could help you with a culture victory.
