Goals?

As we start playing with the awesomeness that is Civ V, I was wondering how others approach the experience. What do you want to accomplish? What victory type do you want?

I started my first game last night...on a wimpy difficulty. I decided all I want for this game is to get to build a "giant death robot". Who cares about victory if you can get one of those instead!

Well, some of us haven't got the game yet!

I'm going to try my hand at the Space Race first, I think. Or the new cultural victory, building the Utopia Project and all that. And all as India.

Then in my next game (as Alexander), I'm going to try and befriend as many city states as I can. Then, as Nobunaga, I'm going to be a complete warmongerer and see how good Bushido is as a UA.

I played the demo, as Civ V isn't released in NZ yet. Not for another 24 hours

Anyway, I want to play as the Aztecs, and see how thier "Civ gains culture after defeating units" works. It is a pity that their UU obsoletes almost instantly, but it is a useful unit [Although I prefer the Persian Immortal over the Aztec Jaguar].

I don't know if that culture is randomly turned into a singular city, or if it is only applied to the social policies. Does anyone know? Does killing stuff in Aztec allow you to expand your borders?

[Also, I think that if the culture is NOT added to a city, and if puppet cities do not increase the culture to increase cultural policies, I might go for a very unique cultural win as the Aztec! Who knew that Monty would be a culture powerhouse in Civ V? ]

Err, not to be a spoilsport, but doesn't this belong in General Discussion? Unless you're planning to document your run for the giant robots of doom that is
