Hey, peoples. I’ve been reading some of the threads here about cultural victories, and the one thing that keeps popping up in the conversations is the topic of religion – and how much it benefits CV’s. Can someone explain how religion helps? Other than being able to purchase culture-boosting...

Thanks everyone! I am typically getting a turn 270-275 CV, so I guess that's not too bad. I've found that Persi is my civ for CV since I can pretty much make a good run at sustaining GA for most of the game. With all that gold, I can buy cultural buildings, a few sci buildings an still have some...

Lol Hadn't thought of that. :-P wil l have to try that!

Is it possible? If so, how do you do it?

Browd - I plant them until I hit plastics. Then I start saving them. Yeah, sometimes if I had really good GS output I'll use one to bulb plastics, or sometimes rocketry if I'm in a rush to get Apollo started.

Thanks all! That is helpful. Also, to clarify, I don't start saving GS until after I hit Reaserch Labs. I typically play on prince or king, so maybe at that level it doesn't drain me too much.

I guess what I am asking is: are there any tips that people have regarding RAs? When is the optimal time to sing them? What to expect from them? Sign them all on the same turn? Here are a few things that I've learned, if they are helpful or not...that is still in question: 1. I don't sign...

A while back, Vexing wrote a great article for the War Academy regarding not only how the RA mechanic worked, but how to plan where to be in the tech tree when they pop. Does anyone have any tips on how to do something similar with the new G&K tech tree and RA mechanic? Anyway, just curious if...

Well, historically speaking, science and technology tends to grow and increase exponentially over time. Kind of like a snowball at the top of a hill – it’s small and moves slowly at first; but over time it grows bigger and moves faster. So, in my mind, it makes sense that a more...

Are you saying buy two GE with faith? I typically only have enough to buy one great person with faith - since I alway seem to pop a GPro without really wanting one. Anyway to keep that from happening? Would much rather have the fith for an extra GE.

I play Babylon a lot lately, so I used to take the Freedom path as well. But recently I've taken order for the Planned Economy policy. I like having the extra science building (ie the science boost from factories). I'm going to build factories anyway, and I've found that the science boost from...

Well, that's an interesting point. I often wonder about the nessissity of GL and ToA. While the free tech from GL is nice, it sometimes delays getting a library in my capital. As for ToA, seems to me that Religion changes things with the growth bonus beliefs. Sure you get a boost to building...

This has been great advice. Building less wonders has been game changing. I picked 5 wonder for tech victory: GL, Oracle, LT, ToA, and PT. I built these during my last game, and did great. I also picked up NC, SC and rushed Hubble with GE from LT. Still probably too many wonders, but it worked...

Hey all! Got a question... How much do you focus your capital on wonder production, especially in the early game? I typically play on Prince, standard speed. While I build military units in my capital and other buildings...I tend to get focused on building a lot of wonders too. By turn...

Hey all! Been playing as Babylon lately, working on Tech victory. I played through once on standard, Prince choosing Freedom during the mid to late game for the GP bonus and the reduction in food cost with specialist. I was able to get an early victory (T223) – massively tall cities with...
