So I've been slaughtering the enemy. Taking cities. Burning Russians.
In the 1950's I take Moscow. I rush-buy through all the culture-based buildings. I post 8 units to the city. Then after all that, I set the place to only produce Culture, along with 8 Artist specialists. So I get 246 culture per turn. I'm doing so good, I set my Research and Gold to 0 and my Culture to 100% so that I'm also generating 6000+ culture per turn overall by 1980. BUT...
It's taking 2 turns to get my Nationality to go up 1% though! At that rate it'll take me 140 more turns to make the culture of the original city converted to 100% of my own.. and all the way along, I have to keep putting up with them "rightfully asking to join the Russians" again. To hell with that, I fought my butt off to steal it, I'm keeping it.
Is it just me, or does this nationality / culture thing suck for any sort of conquest game? It's rediculous that it would take so long to convert a city. Yes I know, use a Great Artist.. sure, but how many can I expect to earn? I take a city every few turns towards world domination. I can't pump that many out.
What am I missing? Does someone have a great way to quickly convert the city to your own culture/nationality (ie: less than 100 turns!) I mean 20 to 30 would be reasonable. This is just stupid!
