DRJ's remak about underminin a relgious leader by giving his minions progressive tech gave me an idea:
Could Propaganda as a weapon be done ingame?
So far this is mainly with the spies, and a litle bit by city influence overlaping. But with natural cultural spread turned on cities realy influencing a neighbouring city so much it gets turned ot pretty rare.
How about cottages also spreading culture a bit? The amount could be related to the cukture prodcution of the city they belong to, so they would be "range extenders". Because unlike other tile improvements they represent polulation centers, and by that people showing your nations lifestyle to their neighbours and travelers.
I would also like to see culture spread a bit with guilds/cooperations. In the real world McDonalds and Burer King for examples DID spread American culture worldwide. To a lesser extend did Coca Cola, by the way they advertised ( think about the jolly man in red for chrismas).
This reminds me : television and radio stations should be important in this. with some civics ( like porapaganda) blocking most of outside influence form other civs stations.
