PyramidsWorld Wonder: Pyramids

Tech Required: Masonry

Production Cost: 185

What it Does: Requires you to Adopt Liberty. Tile improvement construction speed goes up by 25% and gives you 2 free Workers. Also provides +1 Culture and +1 Great Engineer point per turn.

Strategies
The Pyramids' tile improvement speed bonus stacks with that of Liberty, so with the two free Workers, any Civ will be able to quickly develop their lands, but this particularly comes in handy for Wide Civilizations that will have many Cities.

Regardless of Empire size, building the Pyramids will give you an edge in Food and Production due to your need for tile improvements to boost city output around the time it's available. Even if you are tall, building it will let you use the Workers then sell them off. With Liberty, you could eventually have gotten 3 free Workers without having ever built or bought one.

Be sure to have the Military to protect these guys - you can't have 3 Workers hiding from a lone Barbarian in a City at once.
