Anyone managed a culture victory on Deity?

[Dalai Lama]

Just wondering if someone pulled this off. I can win with the space race, diplomacy and military, but culture seems almost impossible to me.

I think that Aeson's win on Deity blows Culture victory away... I can't admittedly think of anything more challenging.

[trickey]

Yep, dont think that will be topped anytime soon. He's gotta be one of the top players on the site to pull that off.

Couldn't agree more on this! We are all still in awe

Ok, I'm just reading Aeson's story but the question remains: Who has had a Cultural Victory on Deity? I never got that far before 1.29f because the tech race would be over long before anybody came close to getting enough culture. I think it might be slightly easier now...

Couldn't have said it better myself Alva.

You basically have to beat the AI into submission (conquest) to get a cultural victory. Just leave the last remaining AI with 1 city and you can surpass the 100k culture barrier quite easily on larger maps. A peaceful 100k cultural victory on Deity would be something for sure. The 20k one city cultural victory isn't too hard to do with the spaceship victory disabled. Takes until ~1800AD to get to, so a spaceship would probably be launched before then.

One of SirPleb's huge/deity games that was in the CFC HOF was played to 2050AD, where Cultural, Spaceship, Conquest, Domination, and Diplomatic victories could be chosen from. I think the one he has listed there now (and can be dowloaded) allows for all but the Diplomatic victory condition at 2050AD.

I guess I'm just too impatient... I tend to build the space ship since I *hate* moving 200+ MAs in stacks of 8 into transports for a cross continent invasion. Something for a really looong week in August I suppose...
