Ah but those sub 200 SVs didn't involve the same amount of buildings, specialists, gold spending, etc. For some of the time on the SVs, you have to put hammers straight into beakers. You'd don't have the same luxury for CV.
Everyone knows that CV on Deity is the hardest VC, and as the lack of a singular answer on this thread shows, no-one can even imagine - theoretically - how a sub-200 CV could occur without SS.
In my last game, one AI had a culture total by T150 that was as high as most I've seen ca. T250. No way you are going to topple that without Internet, I think.
If you guys prove me wrong, I will tip my hat. And I'm not trolling to derail the thread, just expressing my EXTREME skepticism that this is even possible.
But, hey, they said the same thing about the 4-minute mile, the Sound Barrier, and the North-West passage.
So good luck. You're gonna need it!
Yes, but a rush to Internet ignores more than half of the Atomic Era techs and almost all of the Info Era techs, whereas those sub 200 SVs needed just about the whole tech tree. So yeah, your tech rate will be a bit slower than pure SV, but you have much, much less tech that you need to research to get Internet.
