Thal, I might have found out why my culture victories are taking so much longer than yours
I have confirmed that my cities are not calculating culture correct in both the quick summary and main city views. They are giving me less culture than they should, by actually quite a bit.
The game is King Difficulty, Fractal Map, with Suleiman.
Judging by how much culture I've been getting my last few games, I think the bug must be systemic. I'm making about as much culture as i have in previous games, but I just started noticing the bug in this game when a 23 population city with the same specialists and culture buildings was making less culture than my 19 pop city.
