Cultural Victory turn 185 score 660
125/106 tourists 1264 tourism
I always seem to forget to save turn 1 without fail. I get a few turns into the map and go 'wow this one looks promising better save it... dammit was meant to do that at the start'.
Choose high seas, rest standard. Seems like if you plan to war its the best way to role.
Went with India, Egypt, Japan, England, Spain, Norway and France.
Murdered Japan and Egypt early along with Carthage and Jakarta. had every city except Jakarta and a super late barb settler by around turn 70
Was on friendly terms with everyone but India for most of the game once I found them, India witnessed my genocide so obviously detested me the whole time. Spain denounced me 20 odd turns to the end due to government differences, but that wasn't the end of the world.
achieved almost all my early expansion with 5-6 archers (one died fairly quickly) and 1 warrior while adding 4 chariots and 1 more warrior to the mix during the wars.
finished game with 21 cities.
captured pyramids from Egypt in time for the major builder wave which was fortunate,
build Colosseum reaching 7 cities, build Petra on an oasis city with a tone of dessert hills, build Cristo Redentor late thanks to a GE.
Got the last religion and went for work ethic and Gurdwara, not ideal but wasn't a lot of stuff left and most my faith was already dedicated to buying city-centre buildings as I was early uncontested suzerain of Vallentta.
Was mostly focused on getting the archeologists out but of-course this usually has the side effect of gaining a lot of writers and musicians after a while too. managed to get a religious themed art museum quite early too, which was stupidly lucky. also managed to build two parks and a hand full of resorts to boost the numbers.
