Strategies
Wide or Tall, this is going to be a great Wonder to get more out of City Connections, which you should have established by the time the Guilds technology is available. This can lead to massive gains in gold income by the late game, but on higher difficulties the AI is known to go for it fairly aggressively. Guilds Technology leads to Trading Posts as well, so this is a chance to seriously raise your GPT and make your Civ wealthy and powerful. Get Civil Service soon to make up for food lost from Farms, using open grassland tiles for your Trading Posts while a heavy-production City works on Machu Picchu.
This gives you extra incentive to try to settle near a mountain, along with Observatories and Neuschwanstein, which will also give you lots of gold per turn if you're Wide.
