If the actual countries were playing Civ4, who would be winning? I'm saying Europe, Cultural Victory.

Dolphins, space race victory, 2008.

The Irish with a beer victory !!!

 

[cleverhandle]

I might've said the U.S., but it seems to be stalling on its attempt at a Domination Victory at the moment.

 

[Xarlak]

These days? Japan's going for a cultural victory, easily.

 

[Caprice]

So far as cultural victory is concerned, I'm willing to bet that China has just as much of a bid as Europe does...

Please tell me you got that idea from the BBC radio show, the books or the miniseries, but in any case, NOT FROM THE MOVIE. That movie sucked.

 

[Burebista]

I will go with Iran, diplo victory.

The USA is striving for a Cultural, not Domination, victory.

Examples:

The McDonalds website says it has "more than 30,000 local restaurants serving nearly 50 million people in more than 119 countries each day."

Starbucks has over 6000 coffeehouses, I believe. Its site reports "more than 1500 coffeehouses in 31 markets outside North America".

Ghana Diplomatic Victory

 

[Bushface]

Victory by anybody, preferably cultural but by any method other than extermination, as long as the loser is terrorism by any faction whatsoever.

 

[Nestorius]

The US is just hedging its bets and tying up a few strategic areas before going for the space race win.

 

[Cotton_Eyed_Joe]

America Space race

Being a European myself, I must agree that while (especially southern) Europe has many truely magnificent old monuments, we have nothing even close to the Wonders found in the cradle of civilization, like modern day China, India, Iran, Iraq, Egypt etc. Those areas predate European history by several millenia.

Yes, but you only need 3 cities to win by culture. And the top 3 US cities are far from legendary (they were founded just 3-400 years ago and as we all know it takes far longer than that to get to legendary status ).

Domination is much more achievable for the US.

Restaurants, coffehouses and markets dont generate culture

USA and Culture???:

I think they build so much military because they fear to be culture-flipped by the Barbarians
