I had really wanted to try for a cultural victory but I think I went about it the wrong way. As a matter of fact I know I did. Though i have some pretty good cities going on, I spent too much time jerking around rather than concentrating on culture. (Stop me if i'm wrong but you need three cities with legendary culture right?)
Anyway, as the celts I'm in a minor tech lead overall. I share a continent with the french, the maya, the arabians, the carthaginians, the indians and the spanish. I own just about half of it, the next continent has the japanese, the khmer and the germans and they're behind us overall in tech. After a short war with the persians I extincted them and took two cities from saladin who DoWed on me during my persian cleansing. His cultural boundaries are engulfing those cities though. So I have to wonder, is it worth attacking Saladin to make some breathing room for thosecities or should I just leave well enough alone. I can easily try to tech out a Spaceship victory if I want. Pacal and DeGaulle are close enough in tech to be a viable threat in a space race but i think I can handle them . (they're both either friendly or pleased since we share hinduism and have had war alliances through the game) Or should I try to culture up my top three cities? I think it all goes on to attacking saladin. I have infantry and he doesn't yet. My border cities are well guarded. The only reason i attacked those cities were because of an oil resource near one. (That his borders conveniently overwrapped
after I took the city) I have an oil resource but its in the ocean so i need an offshore platform to exploit it right now. I also have a GS saved up to build the ethanol company when the tech comes up, just in case.)
I wish i had a screen shot, but in general, what would you do?
