i'm playing my first game with BNW, I did try years ago civ v vanilla and did'nt like it.
Now the game is definitely more interesting.
Large map, random leader and map type, I got Isabella on Pangea (not the best map for conquistadores I think). No NW near my capitol. Anyway playing om monarch it was'nt too difficult to be leader in tech since 1000 AD. I was plannng to go for the new cultural win working on wonders and great works, but, because of my tradition opening I was stuck with 4 cities. So, around 1400 I decided to take two cities I liked from Boudicca. War went well but now nobody likes me anymore and seldom I can arrange a trade. i'm the host of the world congress as well and that does'nt help. Being the runner, my interests conflict with most of the others.
The question: do I have to give up the cultural win, since I read that for tourism to work I should have the other civs open borders to me, what at the moment seems unlikely? Can I do something to ease the tension? Or should I go the painful path of conquering all their capitals?
