Hi, guys, I am going for a cultural win on huge map, terra, marathon (1500 turns), prince with the Chinese, not using piety, just to see wether I am able to pull it off.
I am not using the puppet exploit, so 11 chinese cities with 6 puppets, 17 in total. With 4 culture+GP+wonder+production (lumbermill, farm, mine) city, 2 unit production (lumbermill, farm, mine) only city for some protection and 5 gold only (tradeposts, #farms < 3) city to keep everything afloat. 6 puppets are all gold only (tradeposts). 800+ turns so early end-game phase. Doing 500+ culture/turn without broadcast tower, 18~23 happiness, ~500 beaker/turn, build the taj, so in a very long golden age, not sure what the 'real' gold/turn are, somwhere ~80/turn, I guess tell you guys later, when GA is over.
Building orders: monument is always the first item
Culture+GP+wonder+prod (CGWP) cities will prioritize in decreasing order (factories, culture, wonder, science, happiness, units on very special, urgent occasions like Montezuma blitz me or something), since science is proportional to pop, so, they tend to be the science town aswell, with all those food. I do a wonder rotation scheme, so always have only 50% of CGWP cities building wonders, while the rest is building (culture and science), landmarks is actually quite useful, I had like 5 in the capital. And 2 in a second highest culture town.
Unit Production (UP) city focus in decreasing order as well (factories, units, happiness, culture, science). primary military function. culture+happiness second. Because of low food and no tradeposts, I don't build gold-building. I only build science if there is nothing else need (ie. soldier = 1 on demographics) to produce.
Gold (G) cities focus (markets, happiness, culture, science), low food, so science is least in priority.
As for SP, I am planning: Tradition (only the wonder bonus and capital unhap reduc) -> liberty finish-> freedom finish-> Order (only the building prod bonus) -> Rationalism finisish -> Order finish -> tradition finish
As for GP, I plan to have 4 CGWP's with the idea of 1 city for each GP. So Capital is for Artists, Shanghai for scientist, etc.
I will be very surprised if this worked. Give me some advices, it would be very valuable.
Kinda newb to ask this, how do I make a screenshot? I'll post a couple of it.
