Well - in the tradition of challenges between upright members of the old country and uppity ex convicts down under and following the glorious success of our lowest scoring challange, Phil and I have undertaken to both aim at culture successes for GOTM 18.
A 20k win is out of the question so its 100k or nothing. This is not going to be an easy one. Its effectively a huge map with a lot of civs. Some are already shooting ahead in culture (Japan) and to get to 100k before they reach 50k looks well nigh impossible.
I'm going going an ICS route and building cities like mad with a teple in each. i'm lagging in tech considerably but conveniently the iroquois have built the Great Library within reach. I'd like to just build libraries everywhere, let the Ai civs get way beyond education. then take the GLib.
That way - I get a golden age
I should get a lot of techs beyond education - iirc the Glib expires on the turn you get education - and can give you lots of techs like demo. Then I can turn tech back on again. Buld my army and go warmongering!
Anyone know if I'm correct in this assumption?
