In Freeciv currently, the game advances much faster than "real life". 
Under this patch that will be even more true.  I think rather than 
decreasing the building costs it might be better to increase unit costs 
(the two aren't exactly the same, though).  I'm also in favor of having 
units require specific buildings to be built.

I do agree that the worthless wonders should cost less.  Or perhaps the 
really good wonders should cost more...
