Ramesses-Rules
King
I am on the verge of winning my second Monarch game (in about 30 tries), but I paused it to get some advice from you guys. I am playing for a Culture victory and have my 3 cities up to "influential".
I researched Assembly Line to get Infantry to keep me one military tech level ahead of Saladin and Caesar. They both have Riflemen now and huge armies. Both are "cautious".
Here is my question/problem: Should I build a factory in my 3 cities aiming for Legendary status? If I have a city set to "build culture 100%", does adding a factory to the city increase its speed in building culture, or does it just add another "sick" worker in my capital (that already has a sick worker with no additional health resources available)?
Second question: Should I stop research now and set the culture slider to 100%. I have been running it around 40% with the rest going to research. If I switch to 100% culture growth now, the idea is that my infantry will hold off the war-mongers long enough to get my 3 Legendary cities. That seems to be the recommended strategy for Culture victory. How do you guys normally decide when it is OK to stop researching military?
I thought about doing a defensive pact with Washington (he is "pleased" and has the best military of all of us), but he and Saladin have already had two wars, and I don't particularly want to get sucked into their third.
Thanks for any suggestions!
