I finished this game with Cultural Victory in turn 127, judging by how bad I played I expect better attempts to finish around turn 80-90.

> I played Warlike and I did use the UU to some effect.
> I prioritised Calendar to build Stonehenge and then Masonry to build Pyramids. After that I just built some Wonders. I also built Parthenon relatively quickly for the Work of Art.
> Social policies were a Tradition and Liberty Mix followed by Piety for Sacred Sites. I eventually finished Liberty with Collective Rule and took Musician to end the game with a Concert. No Ideology because I was Medieval.
> I think I had around 20 cities at the end.

My game did not go according to plan because I failed to get Monasteries and Mosques as I was hoping to. Great Library went very quickly for king difficulty, around turn 28 by Aztecs. In the end I got Monasteries and Cathedrals. I started out very well and got a lot of CS tributes for gold in the early game.
Not many things to tell, just built some Wonders and got Sacred Sites.
Culture to beat was Rome and I finished him off with my Liberty Musician.

Made a choice not to go the sacred sites route, and I didn't want a domination/culture victory, so it was all about pumping out those wonders and keeping the world happy. Had a brief early war with Songhai, but from that point on it was mostly Rome beating up its neighbours with me egging them on. I paid them to declare war on Brazil, thinking they might be the last cultural hold-out, and they kept it up for quite some time. I hadn't played a none sacred sites cultural victory for quite some time, so this was fun, even though I'm sure Turn 202 will be easily beaten (and already has been)

I took a similar, peaceful, pathway. Not surprised that it isnt a crushable time, but a fun game.

Mostly peaceful t174 Culture win.

I tried for sacred sites, but only managed to get 1 religious building (Monasteries). So I went 6-city wide liberty instead.

It ws a fun game, pretty smooth sailing. Aztecs were culture runaways, but Caesar killed them for me cheap (like 3gpt).
