World Wonder: Terracotta Army

Tech Required: Construction

Production Cost: 250

What it Does: Creates a Copy of each unique Military Unit you currently possess. Additionally, it grants +1 Culture.

Strategies
The usefulness of this Wonder is all in the timing and composition of your Military. If you build it with a Warrior, Composite Bowman, Archer, Catapult, and Spearman, you'd get one each of those 5 units around the City that built the Terracotta Army.

Building this should signal the beginning of a War on your part. There is no need to sit around with idle military units consuming Gold per turn, aside from having enough to ensure you are not invaded (it can fill that role by boosting a small military, too). If you plan it right, and get this out just at the right time, you can then swarm an opposing Civ and take their Capital. Beware of Warmonger Penalties and slow down, enjoy your new land and wait until later to push heavily into War unless you want an endless one.
