I was playing on Monarch as the Russians. Large world, Large land mass, nine starting civs, random world
Game had 2 continents, 6 civs on one and 3 on the other including me
I captured my entire continent, keeping all cities
On the other continent, the civs were eliminated one by one with nearly all cities being razed after capture. Once it was down to 2 civs on the other continent, I began building cities in areas razed by other civs and sending armies across. I assisted in the destruction of the 2nd last civ on the continent keeping the cities.
This left 2 civs in the game, and because I had retained all cities I was now culturally and militarily dominant and at peace with the final civ
The large continent was now 60% empty, but fully railroaded and irrigated/mined etc. During the next 45 turns I built over 100 cities without interruption and with the Indians ( the other remaining civ) doing nothing to hinder me and not building any cities anywhere despite the wide open spaces
I rush built a library only in all cities on that continent so that my cultural boundaries would expand. During this time I had a science rate of 20% only and republic government and yet still learnt quicker than the Indians
With an overall culture of 150 000 and and a ratio 1.8 : 1 compared to the Indians with the ratio increasing, a cultural victory would have be mine shortly if I had not achieved the domination win. Also 9 of 10 spaceship components were built by me with the indians significantly behind there. I was learning laser at time of domination victory which means the spaceship victory was also at hand
The indians done nothing to prevent any of these possible wins leaving a Domination win being all too easy
