Techs for victories

[Caeserportugal]

It depends on the type of vitory for exemple if you are pursuing a miltary type of victory you should look to resarch milatry techs. On the other hand for a cultural victory you will need to found religions and to research key techs like Drama and Music.

Nonsense. First , you don't need to found the religions, you want to have acesss to them, a thing that is far diferent from fouding them Second, you can bruteforce culture with a corporation and I will not even start rambling about using the espionage spread culture mission...Music and Drama will help, surely , but they aren't forcefully needed.

It's much easier to get access to religion if you found it

It can also kill you Religions you found are religions the AI doesn't. Any religion that you found increases the chance of a religious lovefest between the AI

I have developed a big explanation regarding this in this thread, especially regarding early religions. Not on the mood of writing it all over again

This leads to an "it depends" answer. Are you close to other cities with the religion. Do you have OB with them? And most imporantly, who has the religion? If you start next to Izzy or Zara, for example, you should get the religion pretty quick. Heck, Izzy will probably spread the religion to your cities as fast as you would. If you've got Genghis and Shaka as your neighbors (ugh!) your odds of getting a religion go way down.

Also, some AI's value your being in their religion a lot more than others. Izzy is famous for this, but I find Zara, Charlie, and the Byzantine leader care a lot too. Shaka doesn't care if you follow his religion, he'll attack anyway.

Theocracy, Org.Religion leaders+ Charlemagne+Mansa Musa would spread any religion they get... Just read leaders description & then send yyou missionaries to that leader.
