Hi,
tl:dr at bottom!
so I am playing Venice and I am enjoying it far better than I expected. I have Gold floating through my empire constantly so I use it to upgrade my Military and/or purchase buildings in cities. Right now, being at 270 turn, I have +500 gold per turn and... +50 culture. I am not aiming for CV, but I do wanna increace my culture. Are there any ways to do that quickly?
I have Opera Houses, Museums, Aphitheatres etc all bought, but I still didn't produce a single GW or GA - only Merchants (which I love, honestly, they are SO FREAKING GOOD!!)
Also question about Faith - as Venice, my main source of income are Trade Routes. When I am trading, I am pressuring my Faith towards other Civ and am being pressured from other civ. Is there a way to stop it/minimalize it?
I read today that I can buy Inquistors and just put them in Cities/adjacent to Cities and then Missionaires/Great Prophets won't be able to spread their religion towards me and that solves it a bit, but not quite. Suggestions?
tl;dr:
How to spread religion efficiently through trade routes?
How to get more +culture when I already have all Operas, Museums etc.?
