FiveRings,
... I was a bit worried that you'd be "not thrilled". I'm not too sure how we progress from here however!
Part of me is thinking that seeing none of the roster has had much experience with a Cultural Victory, then 'now' might be a great opportunity to get that experience!
I had hoped that we could whip 30-40 Cavalry with good promotions out of the gate, and go forth and spank Korea, but without siege up against fortified Protective Grenadiers, I'm very wary of 'getting owned' by a rival that's currently way ahead of us on the Power Chart. I can see us possibly doing it with Modern Era units (Tanks, Bombers, Destroyers, etc.) however.
As indicated in #155, I'm not sure which pathway will be most likely to succeed. I'll set out a plan later today as to how we could approach pursuing a Cultural Victory (I'm away from my Civ computer now) and see if it's even workable, especially if we're sticking with Free Religion instead of Pacifism. At 1250AD, I think that the AI is pretty advanced (no wars to slow it down), and will go for Space with a launch as early as maybe 1900AD.
