Yes! That's what I call "playing Piety the right way"! Turn 162, Immortal, Byzantium, Standard/Standard, Pangaea, CV. It would have been on 160, but for some unknown reason, my influence started "falling" for one turn with the last civ remaining to be influenced. That pushed it back 2 turns. Does anyone know why this could happen? Maybe they burnt a GW?
Anyway, that was THE most fun and fastest victory I have ever gotten in CiV. I'll try to do it with the Maya now for a crazier result. Poland too, afterwards.
Beliefs : Desert folklore (Pantheon), Initiation Rites (founder), Pagodas, Mosques as Follower and Bonus beliefs. Got Cathedrals as enhancer since Monasteries got taken. Gotten Religious Texts for super-fast spreading, without having to spend faith on Missionaries at all.
I had 13 cities in the end, but one of them was far away (due to me wanting to get to an extra luxury) and never had a religion until the very last turn where I ultimately spat out a missionary to convert it. So, it really didn't give me any Tourism at all. I went Liberty till Free Settler, then Piety till Reformation, finished Piety, and almost finished Liberty (I had NO Cultural CS allies until 20 turns before I won).
One last thing: why didn't my diplomat give me any tourism modifiers when he was in Denmark's (the last remaining civ) capital? We both had embassies with each other. Maybe because I was still in the Medieval for the whole time? If anyone knows, please tell me! (You can see the issue in the screenshots, as well as the victory notification).
