Can anyone tell me where you can find out how much of the land area you currently control if you're trying for a domination victory? I'm playing the original CIVIII version 1.29f, and can't seem to find this information anywhere.

If you want to increase your culture try to build culture buildings (temples, libraries) early.
If you play a religious (scientific) civ, rush build temples (libraries) during your despotic regime.
Early in the game, rush-building to win even only 3-4 turns may means you win 100-200 years.
After 500AD (even 1AD), you may rush build culture buildings, but for other reasons than the doubling effect as it will pay off too late.
If you are neither religious nor scientific, or if you are playing at higher levels forget about early culture buildings.
This was to answer your question.
But maybe the right question is: what is the use of culture? Is it desirable to have a - early - high culture? Is it worth the effort?The books that the world calls immoral are the books that show the world its own shame. Oscar Wilde.

not drugs, lack of sleep. Yes, obviously Civ2 - so I was mixing civ2 and civ3 there. Thanks for the correction.
Speaking of confusing Civ 3 with Civ 2, I remember my very first game of Civ 3. It was during the middle ages, and I built longbowmen instead of knights because I thought they'd be better against pikemen! I did figure it out by the next game though."Every time I have to make a tough decision, I ask myself, 'What would Tom Cruise do?' Then I jump up and down on the couch." - Neil Strauss

and I thought it was me that was ****ed up. I don't think units get the X2 vs. horse in this game. Which I kind of miss, but oh well.

Yes, upgrade paths were fixed, so that Sword- and Archer-class units upgrade to Guerrillas and then TOW Infantry.The greatest delight for man is to inflict defeat on his enemies, to drive them before him, to see those dear to them with their faces bathed in tears, to bestride their horses, to crush in his arms their daughters and wives.
