I wote this the other day in a different thread, thought it might be more usefull here.

There is a way of finding out EXACTLY when you will reach the 100k goal without using any mapstat or apollo.
All you do is go to the culture advisors screen and have a look at the total culture points for your civ for that turn, then your look at that number next turn and subtract the first number from the second one and that will give you the amount of culture points that you have each turn.
2) Then you go 100 000 minus your total culture points and divide that number by how many culture points that you make per turn and that number tell's you how many turns until your hit 100 000.
eg: total culture points this turn 67 195
total culture points next turn 67 864
67 864 - 67 195 = 669 (which is how much your culture is worth per turn)
then 100 000 - 67 864 = 32 136
then 32 136 divided by how many culture points your make per turn
32 136/669 = 48.0 is how many turns till you reach the 100 000 goal.
It only dawned on me how to do this whilst playing the 4-4 game. ( Which was about 1700ad
).
I'm not sure if this is posted elsewhere and explained in greater detail.
One problem with doing it this way is it gives the answer in turns and not in years so you have to factor that in if you are pre-1900ad.
Hope this is useful for you. I'm no deity player so if any one knows a better way or easier way to do the same please let me know.
BTW I have never actually used either Mapstat or Apollo so I dont know of the other benefits that they might have. I wrote this as an alternative way of checking when you will achieve a 100 000 cultural victory during a tournament game as a reply to someone else's question (Lambert Simnel. Apollo - no Mapstat - yes Why?).
Please feel free to pick and reply
