Need Culture Help Bad

[WackenOpenAir]

my advise is not to worry about your culture.
Unless you want a cultural victory of course.

If city flips is your reason to worry about culture, stop worrying. The cost of building cultural improvements enough to have significant effect is dozens of times higher than the cost of recapturing flipped cities. On every difficulty level.

The only time you should worry about your culture is when you are going for a cultural victory.
Or of course when you don't care about playing as well as you can. winning as early as you can or things like that and you just want to give your people some nice buildings to look at

When you go after other Civs, are you able to take Wonders also? They will help move the culture along a little.

If you take a city with wonder, that wonder will produce no culture.

While you get no direct cultural benefit from the Wonder itself; holding on to some does give a cultural benefit. e.g. the Internet gives you a research lab in ever city; two more cultures per turn in every city that did not already have one. Just tested it by building a new city in world where I had already captured the Internet. Presume this would also apply to the Temple of Artemis.
