Getting golden age from wonders?
In the library it mentions that there is a "chance of getting a golden age" if you build a wonder that corresponds to your faction's characteristic... how exactly does this work?
I have worked at it a lot and not gotten any golden ages... building every available wonder that corresponds to my special characteristics.
Golden ages are nifty... I need to work more on timing with my Immortals!

You can only have 1 golden age. If you already got one from conquest, you can't get another one from Wonders. Also, Wonders don't guarantee a golden age. They just give a % chance.

Yes, you can have only one golden age.
But if you build a combination of needed GW, you will CERTANLY get a golden age (if you haven't before).

Is it possible to go a whole game WITHOUT a golden age??
I prefer to play the babylonians but each time i build their bowmen, and he wins a combat, i'm forced to enter into a despotism golden age. I'd prefer to save it for later on.. in the industrial era... when i'll have no more bowmen left. So if i do not have the unique unit, would a wonder be the only way to enter a golden age???

If you dont get a military golden age, then your only other chance is to build the wonders, and get a peaceful golden age. If you are a religious civ, for instance, and the other civs grab all the religious wonders before you have the chance to build them, then you wont get a golden age at all. Might be a good idea to keep a bowman or two as a backup plan.

I would keep at least half a dozen or so bowmen in reserve. Then when I wanted a GA, I would isolate the lowest tech enemy unit I could find and bombard it with artillery until it was down to 1 HP. Then, I would swarm it with bowman after bowman hoping for the win that would trigger my GA.
