Post a picture of your empire

Opies, that map looks quite flat. Out of curiosity, what map setting were you using?

The most productive warm/wet/5billion

There are much more mountainous regions of the map, this area happens to be very very flat.

Also, check out this area of the map. No wonder everybody wants it!
4x rubber
3x oil
2x horses
1x coal
1x saltpeter

Here is where I am now, 1230 AD:

 

[Smellincoffee]

My "Foursquare Empire" shortly after its defeat of the ancient enemy Sumeria. Later wars would see Germany reduced to a rump state.

I recently included a land war on the other continent, freeing the Byzantine people from the stench of Indian imperialism. Now all Byzantine cities are in Byzantine hands. Now that India has been cut in half, I'm sending my troops into Babylon to eliminate my other industrial competitor. I don't doubt my ability to win the space race, but preemptively squelching the competition will allow me to take it easy in the end-game.

So here is how my above culture game went (first culture game ever! (had no idea how to play one haha))

End of REX (around 0 AD):

700AD

1000AD

1230AD

1600AD

1725AD I won in 1730AD, 2 turns away from the modern age.

I figured the best way to win culture was to produce a hundred cities and put temples + cathedral + library in all of them. I didn't think I would win at the start. Playing my first culture game on emp was kinda silly of me

That's basically how to win by 100K Culture in spades.
