What game pace do you play on?

For the record, I won out on turn 365, 1945 AD. I paid careful attention to my tourism theming bonus, trading art w/ the AI. I also think being Brazil was a huge help: tourism is doubled during a Golden Age, and great musicians/writers/artists are created 50% faster. I created a couple of...

Ah yeah. That was it. Kind of silly. They should use a different icon for artifacts.

I am Brazil. In the Hermitage, I have: England, Renaissance (Portrait of Bindo Altoviti) Kuala Lumpur, Classical (Necklace) Carthage, Medieval (Kindred Spirits) The theming bonus is for the "great work slots are all filled with Art from different Eras and different Civilizations". I...

Since I have a somewhat dominant world religion, is it better to use additional Great Prophets spreading my religion, or consume them to create holy sites?

I have a hard time figuring this out, with theming and whatnot. Here is my current list: What can I tweak to improve that? I also wonder whether to send Great Musicians abroad for concerts or consume them for works.

It's 1818 AD, turn 279, standard pace & map size, Prince difficulty, Continents map. Two civs have already lost their capital. My single score is 1228, the next Civ is at 781. I chose Brazil due to their tourism-related UAs. Here is my current influence. What can I do best? Should I send my...

What if I was close to Influential on one city-state? How could I go about specifically targeting to gain influence on that state? A trade route? Fulfilling its demands as they pop up? Anything I'm missing?

Check out my tourism screen - I am Spain. Definitely leading in tourism output, but I have 0/17 influence over everyone. How do you actually go about gaining influence?

Argh. Feels obvious now :)

hrmmm, putting the walk cursor on any other city showed I couldn't move them there (red dot).

Why can't you send great prophets to foreign civs? I've got my cities all loaded up on my religion and would like to spread it to other civs, but I think missionaries are the only unit capable of that. Why is this?

Shoot guys, you're right. I'm sorry. I mistook founding pantheons and beliefs for founding religions. Apologies.

Seriously, turn 8, someone founds a religion. I have no religion points, not even close. How is this possible? Is it some civ's UA or what?

Really? 300? That strikes me as early. I'd be interested in what others consider to be the turn # by which they should be on the doorstep of victory.
