Seems like no matter what I try at any point in before late endgame the AI all have staggering leads over me in cultural influence. What am I doing wrong? The only direct way I know of to increase influence is to drag a musician over to the other civ and put on a show, but most of the time I can't even get open borders to do that in the civs I'm farthest behind. Are there other ways I don't know about?
Maybe it's because I tend to put some of the cultural buildings on the back burner while I make more important things? But I'm not THAT bad about it... Is it just another adjustment they make to higher difficulty to give the AI a boost like how they're always ahead in techs?
