        Turning cultural off is not really fair to the AI IMO who doesn't realise this. It's not really cheating, but you do give yourself the option to neglect a very significant part of the game while the AI doesn't. (this is especially true on higher difficulty levels.)
        A bit late to respond, I know (hope you check Yer Threads once in a while), but I do not neglect cultural advances, buildings, and wonders (both small and great) as these are the reasons my borders expand. In current game (huge map--medium archipeligoes) I've been rushing harbors so resources are available, then rushing temples so borders expand. AI does not neglect culture; neither do I. Cultural Victory comes unexpectedly, thus I am not fond of it.
        I continue to await the mysterious Banana Victory condition. I voted for it .

          As a builder, I have always been fond of the spaceship and cultural victories

            I'm not saying you do, but you can.. If some AI happens to build multiple wonders i the same city far away from your little empire, there is no treat him winning culturaly and thus no pressure for you to do something about it . That's all

              I used to play builder and usually had my choice of UN or space victory. Recently, in order to balance my play skills, I've been playing dark side emperor and I usually win by domination well before Fission. But, I must pay more attention to the cultural victory thing as I've never won one in spite of huge leads and everyone in awe. Hmmm...perhaps my first test of the new Beta!

                Alva-- I see your point, but hadn't thought of it in that way. What bothers me about the cultural win is the way it crops up just when I'm about to invade a Civ I've had a long grudge against
                Lately I've tossed aside a number of things that defined my normal strategy in Civ, and have been trying out different ideas. Turning off cultural win was one of them. I'm also turning regicide on more often, which makes me think much more about a stong defensive force at my capital. As America in my present game, I've been taking Lincoln out on a tour of the cities (with a strong guard) just for the fun of doing it.
                I'll turn cultural win back on again, in a later game.
                Experiment!

                    Yeah, those "you've won" pop-ups are very lame indeed.

                      hi ,

                      this should have been a multi choice poll , ....

                      several options , what ever comes first , aldo getting to 2050 without letting anyone else get victory is the most intresting

                      have a nice day
