I think what we really lack is a plan (i.e., How do we want to wind this game, and what is our backup plan incase that doesn't happen?). It would get boring just bumbling our way through the modern era to win by diplo or spaceship (or histographic) all the time.
I agree with Chieftess. Let's fight boredom. We now are able to run over every civ we choose. Is this fun?
OTOH I think we are way to late for a cultural win. And it requires just the will and the staightforward implementation of it. No real room for demogame-like discussions and polls.
After finishing Russia, our lux deal with Persia ends. Why not attack them for a little bit of excitement? And of course because now our cavalry rules vs. their immortals and we don't face rifles yet. Attacking Babylon is like beating dead fish.

A dead babelfish? (couldn't resist).
But, yeah, Babylon can fall in 2-3 turns once we prepare. 100K culture is still possible I think, provided we get enough cities (probably 100), but we're not at the liberty to have cheap culture units like in DG1 and 2 (of which we were quickly closing in on 100K).

One of the last remaining instructions from the DoI (and a request from military).
Please place rails (labeled RR) and a road (labeled R) in the following locations. Please use 2 native workers, or 4 foreign to get the job done in 1 turn. In addition to these tiles, build a railroad 1 tile south of Nea Roma, and a road 1 tile south of that. These will be in preperation of an attack on India.
(Regent Town will expand next turn, BTW), and do check Mill Valley. It's about to riot. (Place a specialist on the forest, and take off 2 wheat tiles)

Mr. President,
since we don't have a MiA to take care of Wonder Building, I bring the following to YOUR attention:
a) I made a decision and informed the Governor of Sérliënorë via PM as follows:
b) I also kicked the Sleeping Governor of Berry (twice) and suggested to him queues for the upcoming turnchat, especially to build factory, Universal Suffrage in our capital of Deux Riviere.

So, what do we do with the prebuild now? Just waste it? By the time we even research Scientific Method, Groton will still be building a factory/Coal Plant (hopefully), and the prebuild might nearly be enough for ToE, then Hoover for Groton. I just don't want a huge prebuild wasted now that we started it...
If you look at the turnchat instructions you will learn, that we loose only 8 shields by switching to factory (i.e. we accumulated 248 out of the necessary 600 only). And even without a coal plant, Groton will do the factory in 4 turns (finishing the turn we learn medicine) and build ToE 6 turns later (hopefully we learn scientific method the same turn and can do the "Big Picture switch" of a Palace pre-build.
Groton then needs another 10 turns to do Hoover. In summary 20 turns, whereas Vandelay would build Hoover in 29 turns (9 turns later).
Sarevok is the new MIA, effective a few days ago.
