I recently finished a game with Venice on Deity, and won it through a Cultural victory. (I think it was around turn 315, damn GMs take time to travel) I was astonished at how many wonders I was able to get on Deity, it was pretty much the wet dream of every player who wants to win a cultural victory with Venice. I also picked Divine Inspiration as one of my follower beliefs and at the end of the game I had +80 fpt. :d
I was on a continents map with Babylon and Mongolia with me. Mongolia ate Babylon for breakfast after a while, but strangely did not declare war on me the whole game. He was more busy devouring all the CS the whole game.
Rome was on another continent with France, Polynesia, Attila and Bismarck. He pretty much devoured them all but Attila at the end of the game.
When the game ended I had 878 tourism (without World Religion and International games bonus btw). I went for full Exploration and I excavated like 10 hidden antiquity sites.
As for wonders I've built,
- The Great Lighthouse
- Mausoleum of Halicarnassus
- Colossus
- Leaning Tower of Pisa
- Eiffel Tower
- Uffizi
- Sydney Opera House
- Statue of Liberty
- The Broadway
- The Louvre
- Sistine Chapel
- Porcelain Tower
- Cristo Redentor
How was this even possible? I know that Venice gets strong starts due to its limitations, and a strong capital is very important for a CV, but still, what was AI doing? How did they let me?
Was this a fluke or this many wonders is possible on Deity with a strong capital?
