It's good to see so many fans of this great game. I'm new to posting but have enjoyed some of the strategy's in these forums.
My first attempt at a cultural victory was with Ghandi using the religion/shrine route. I also played Peter on a standard/continent/quick/warlord setting with 5 AI's.
Ghandi started with two settlers and my first hut was a worker. Needless to say I went on to discover every religion and win a cultural victory by 1790. I started with Rome to my immediate North, the Mongolians directly east, and the Japanese a ways to the west.
The interesting beginning was with Peter. He shared a continent with the Persians and immediately had to go to war. Beelined to ironworking and swordsman did the job. I ended up with 7 cities on the coastline. Ghandi had built every other wonder, but he didn't have coastal cities so no Colossus or Great Lighthouse. Even with a huge advantage in technology, Peter was able to come back after the GL/Harbors/Markets/Banks/Grocers along with the free market civ started cranking out the cash.
By the end of the game, Peter was making more money than Ghandi, who had all 7 shrines built.
I'm wondering how the strategy of aquiring the Great Lighthouse, settling along the coast, utilizing the Colossus for the food growth would work in higher difficulties.
