Be a religous civ so you can build temples from the start. Build these up quickly so they double in culture quickly. Being Babylon is good for this. Also check this link.

Never aimed culture before...
But I suggest going for the one city victory... try to build the wonders that produce great culture in your capital...

Become a religious civ and expand! The more cities you have the more culture you can receive (and the less likely an agressive civ will attack you). Build temples, libraries, etc., and wonders as fast as you can.
Once an improvement or wonder has been placed for 1,000 years, it's culture doubles. It is important to build culture-related improvements early because early in the game, the years go by faster; 50 years, 10 years, 1 year. The faster you place the improvement, the earlier you will get the bonus. Although, after the year 1050, you will not get the bonus at all.

Here is a strategy for a culture win.
You need 1 city with 20,000 culture points.
If you concentrate on one great culture city it really does not matter if you have cheap temples or libraries.
I do believe a culture win is easier with a scientific civ because of the free tech at each age enables you to start building the wonders earlier.
Pick one city to be your cultural center it needs to have plenty of Shield potentual and if going for the One City Challenge it needs plenty of food and gold potentual as well.
All other cities are to provide the science, gold, luxuries, units and protection to make this possible.
1) Make Monarchy your only reseach prioritory. Along the way build a temple and the Oracle (The Oracle is the key - without it a cultural win will be very hard - it and your temple will provide much of your culture rating and will enable your city to grow large early).
2) Do some exploring goody huts and trade will help
3) Go for literature next build a library, then the Great Library
- If on the coast build the Colossus
If you don't get the Great Library don't worry
4) Go for construction - you need an aquaduct (if you are not on a river) to make your city big and a collosseum
5) Once you have an aquaduct you can use workers to grow your city quickly.
6) Change to the Republic if you get it but don't reseach it
7) Ideally have a wonder you can swap to if another civ beats you to the one you have almost completed.
8) Half build improvements with then finish them off with gold so that most shield production can be used for wonders
9) Prebuild parts of wonders ie almost build a battleship then swap if the battleship is being build to fast turn workers into scientists
10) Peace and Trade helps
11) Keep up in techs either through Great Library, research, trade or threats
12) Trade or give away techs that allow the building of non-cultural wonders - let the other civs build these.
13) Help weak civs by giving/trading them weapons techology that the strongest civs already have and giving/trading strategic resources they need.
14) If you haven't had your Golden Age be prepared to go to war (against a weak Civ with allies backing you up) to trigger it a the right time with a your UU.

For an easy time with culture, you can use the following civs/strats.
Civs:
Babylon - Religous/Scientific - They have cheap libraries, temples (and others along those lines), so you can build those quickly.
Egypt - Religous/Industrious - not only can they build cheap temples, but they can build roads much quicker for getting your settlers out a turn or two early (it's a cumilative effect)
Persia - Scientific/Industrious - The flipside of Religous. Plus, their UU is the best in the ancient era, and you can carve out a nice area for culture.
Expansionist civs with religous/scientific traits (like the Iroquois, Russia, Arabia (PTW), can also expand quickly while building cheap cultural improvements.
The Ottomans (PTW) are Scientific/Indust., are almost equal to Russia, except for their UU.
Also, Industrious civs can expand just as well as expansionist civs. You just have to know how to use their traits.
For culture, build any cultural improvements while you can, and try for wonders with the highest culture (also, go for the techs with wonders). Be sure to watch when other civs start building wonders, since you don't want to lose a wonder by 1 or 2 turns.

When I play for a cultural win I usually pick Babylon for the religious and scientific bonuses. When I start a new city I rush build (if possible) Temple and Library. I build the other culture producing buildings as quickly as possible. This is important in the ancient worls as over time the culture of your city doubles (I forget the exact number of turns required). This gives me a good start towards a cultural win and I usually get a dozen or so cities flipping to my side during the course of a game.

What?!? are you impugning the value of the Sipahi? Their 8/3/3 gives them the ability to take down rifles, even in cities! Enough of them can even take infantry (out in the open anyway). Yes they cost a bit more than Cossaks (100 vs 80) but when do you need to defend with those anyway, also fast moving troops get the retreat option and so need not defend to the death.
Just had to stand up for my Sipahi friends.

Pretty much this i exactly what i would do, i go temples, libraries, colloseums, (any wonders i get
), then cathredrals, universities, and so forth. For me when i do this i too get quite a few cities to come over to me. My culture is always better than the computers, and almost always when i do multiplayer. However pretty much all of this is if i am babylon.Similar threads
