Hi, everyone! Bought Civ5 Complete recently, and after an Aztec cultural victory (my first!) on Prince, I decided to move up to Emperor, since it seemed too easy.
I'd playing Babylon wide, and am gunning for a SV. Except I keep replaying the first 100 turns to nail down my foundation, and my culture production seems really low.. Maybe it's all the MP games on Quick with friends, but 20-30 turns at 4 cities, let alone that or more at 7-8 just seems ridiculous..

Gold hasn't been an issue, despite that negative GPT, it only showed up this turn and I just have to adjust pop assignments. Resources are set to abundant and as you can see, I prioritize improving them first.
Build order tends to be:
Capital: Scout, Scout, Shrine, Monument, Library, Warrior, Caravan, Granary...
Everywhere else: Monument, Shrine, Library, Granary, Market, University, Garden, Ampitheater..
Tech Order: Pottery > AH or Mining > Writing > Trapping/Calender if relevant...in this case, before Writing > Masonry > Beeline Theology > Construction > Beeline Guilds > Education...and from there, either Astronomy, Acoustics, or Printing Press, depending on if I think I can get SC or not.
This time I hit NC around 115 (3 cities), and Education around 125-130. I'm never leading in literacy until maybe the Industrial era, and then only for a few turns. Which feels like a red flag, given my gunning for a SV. Cultural generation seemed so easy with Monty 4-city Tradition, but Liberty, while it seems more flexible, seem like it's...just not as good. Does it take longer to hit full-speed than Tradition? Am I just not used to Standard's game speed? Or am I doing something really wrong?
I'd appreciate the help.
