Ok, you can forget it. I need to complete the aesthetics policy tree to double my theming bonuses.

There have been a lot of questions in this vein, but so far, nobody seems to have found a way to reassign a trade route before it finishes.

Is there a way to see how much a rival civ is contributing to the world fair? I just lost out by three hammers, which would have been good to know the turn beforehand!

A few of these are older, but I figure answering them all together will sum up the info.
What the museum is called doesn't matter. All that matters is you meet the theming bonus. To see what that is, hover your mouse over the +0 next to the Great Work slots. It'll tell you exactly what you need to slot to get the bonus.
Some are easy, like two works from the same civ from different eras. The Louvre is really tough: you need two Works of Art and two Artifacts, but they must all be from different civs and different eras. You'll have to do some trading to make that work. My personal suggestion for that one: use two Antiquity sites from your own territory, your own and someone you've conquered/battled with. (Other civs tend to get upset when you dig in their territory, even if you're Friends.) Then trade with other civs for the two art pieces you need.
To trade, go into your Culture screen and click on "Swap" at the top of the window. You'll see all the other civs you have access to, and what they have available to trade. There's a little drop-menu in each column to select the work you want to trade. Pick that, click on the item you want from the other civ and click the confirmation button.
Just be very sure you're getting the right type of item. Once you trade, that item you gave away is gone (unless you conquer the city it's in). This is one part of the game where you may need to take notes on what you have vs. what you need, before you go trading. (I screwed up last night, and can't complete the Louvre theme right now because I traded for the wrong thing.
)
Aside from some Wonders and the Broadcast Tower, that's about it. If you don't have any slots open, move your Great Musician into another civs territory & rock out.
1. Yes, and you do this to get access to stuff you normally couldn't. As mentioned above, some theming bonuses require the items to be from different civs. You'll have to either conquer other civs or trade with them to get their Great Works.
2. Hidden sites are Antiquity sites that you cannot see unless you complete the Exploration policy track. There's only a set number of Antiquity sites per map, and a percentage of those will be Hidden.
3. No, it'll always be in one of your cities. The tooltip isn't terribly clear on that.
Once you unlock Archaelogy on your tech tree, you'll be able to see Antiquity sites. They look like little stone ruins. You have to unlock all the Exploration social policies to see any Hidden sites. The Hidden sites will have their icon colored red, instead of just the normal Antiquity icon.
Those... are both very good questions. The city it's taking place in is just cosmetic, so it'll probably just move to another of the host civs cities. However, if you eliminate that civ... I have no idea what happens.
I've yet to see a tie, but I'd assume the host's vote breaks all ties.
You're stuck with it. Unless one of the cities becomes inaccessible (due to war or destruction) you'll have to sit on that caravan route until it expires. If the route gets plundered by barbs or another civ, you lose the unit entirely and have to build a new one.

How do you deal with a diplomatic runaway now?
Poland bossed around his continent and once I finally met him, he had over 1000 points when every else had 400-600. He went full patronage into autocracy, and went on to control every single congress meeting with his city-state army, doing stuff like making autocracy the world ideology when he was the only one with it!
Every single city-state he controls he has 200-300 influence more than me, I am trying to hold on the remaining 3-4 but every single turn he steals them away. Spies seem to do nothing, nobody was interested in stealing my techs (I was playing culture) so they were level 1 and did basically nothing. I ragequit the game when the world leader vote was 10 turns away and Poland held 38 of the required 32 delegates.

If you get someone like Greece, you just have to make a plan to take his capital, or put him next to Shaka so he does it for you. You don't really have a "solid" victory condition goal until you meet all the civs in my opinion.

I guess taking his main cities would've been the only real option. Too bad I Attila kept me busy for a big part of the game on our own continent.
The scary part is that the world leader vote hits so much faster than any other vc, I had barely time to build my research labs when it was already pretty much over.

Can anyone tell me the difference(s) between Continents, Pangaea, and Great Plains and Continents Plus, Pangaea Plus, and Great Plains Plus?
Probably been asked. I build a Writer's Guild which creates +1 Great Writer points. In at least 100 turns, a Great Writer is created and I put his Great Works in one of the Guild's slots and after all of that substantial effort, I get...+2 culture and +2 tourism?!?
What am I missing here?

The "plus" maps place most city-states off-shore on islands (and generate island chains). They generally make naval dominance more important.
The GW of writing will be placed in the nearest building that houses a GW of writing - most likely an Amphetheater - the Writer's Guild has no slots for GWs. The guilds let you employ artists which generate points for whichever artist type they support as well as culture.
Strategy time (I know you're into this sort of thing
): Culture is much more flexible now, depending on how much you invest in employing the guild artists. I've found that spreading the guilds among core outlying cities is the best plan, it's difficult to work all the artist slots with just your capital (especially while employing scientists, which is a must on higher difficulties). I'm finding high-food cities pretty necessary now, and fish and DTRs make them happen in a way that wasn't possible in G&K.Hello!
This is the first time in all Civ games I have played where I don't have a religion. Yes, I am the one holding the short stick.
We start our Coop game at he Medieval era; is there a way to pump up my chances of getting a religion, when we play again? Do I need to keep building faith-based buildings and hope and pray that the AI pick me to get one of the religions?
Thanks,
Marc

Does anyone happen to know if reformation beliefs work like founder beliefs (only applies to founding civ) or like all the other beliefs (applies to all civs with the religion)?

I even tried to gift a ship to a CS to see if that works. I think you just need to wait until it needs reassignment and delete the unit.

Culture is a lot harder to come by in BNW--2 culture and 2 tourism doesn't seem like much, but consider if you make a city with every single culture building and leave them all empty, it generates a whopping 8 culture per turn. The guilds give you the only pre-archaeology option aside from wonder spamming to generate more, and actually staffing the place works wonders--one writer alone will cut that first Great Writer from 100 turns to 25, and you'll be getting an extra 2 culture per turn in the meantime (as well as any other policy- or wonder-based specialist perks).
On a related note, landmarks are a lot cooler than they used to be. Wow.
Well, to get a religion, you need a prophet, and to get a prophet in the medieval era, three strategies come to mind:
1) Stock up on as much faith as possible
2) Build the Hagia Sophia
3) Complete the Liberty or Piety trees
I'm guessing that the HS would be the fastest option of the three, since Theology is an early medieval tech, but it's up to you to figure out what works best for your situation and strategy.
