The power of culture

[The diplomat]

I am playing this awesome game right now as Bismarck. I got a Great Artist from music and then on the same turn, my capital gives me a Great Artist. I have 2 Great Artist so I decided to test the double Culture Bomb.

Here's the city of Boston that I captured, right after resistance ended.



I moved my 2 Great Artists to Boston and created 2 Great Works for instant 8000 culture points!

Watch the city of Tokyo get swallowed up.



The great thing about this strategy is that I capture 2 cities for the price of one. I captured Boston militarily but I will get Tokyo for free.

And 4 turns later Tokyo is a size 1...what did Tokugawa have to say about that?

[The diplomat]

I did not hear a peep from Tokugawa. In other games, the AI has seemed to be able to recognize a cultural attack. There are probably several reasons why the AI did not react to my cultural attack.
1) I was playing on warlord
2) I was already very strong.

You can see from the screenshot that I was the top dog with about 900 points ahead of Tokugawa. The AI was probably hesistant to attack me since I was so strong.
