My strat most of the times is, pick china for the culture building. Get Budism at the start asap, spread religion like mad, get the civic that makes y build 25% faster in cities with state religion, build cities like mad and focus on money makin tiles (Cuz if y don't your research will drop badly) and after all that I pop culture to like 40% and focus on building stuff in my cities. This way I oftenly get a cultural victory or win with the most points in the end.

Early religion badly hampers china. You don't need to found one to use one...so let the AI spread an early one and found 1-2 more later (Confuc, taoism for example). My let's play of Lincoln highlights a popular culture strategy that wins on all levels (even deity) if you can avoid war.

XD That would have been epic history. Montezuma standing trial at the Hague in SPARTAAAAA for douchebaggery, idiocy, and crimes against players after you pwned his country.

Revenge against Montezuma for Montezuma's revenge!

@ PastShelfDate: yes, you can plot paths for units that have yet to be built. They're useful for amassing troops. Highlight the city you're interested in and shift click your destination. Shift right click to clear.

You should check out TheMeInTeam's Speed Guide on the civfanatic forum if you're interested in button combo's

Really nice tips about Bureaucracy: with commerce can keep up with pyramids in science, and I didn’t know it unlocked irrigation.

I understand delaying promotions, but why delay healing?

“Way-point:” I get plotting a unit’s path for several turns. Are you saying you can plot path of units yet to be produced?

Ya when im going for culture victory I usually try and use gandhi for the religon bonuses but that makes other people not very freindly so i cant avoid war. SO what I do is spread my religion into there citys like crazy and influence it more with spys so there happy with me. And if somebody far away wages naval war on me all i have to do is buoild the indian special jail and my people are still happy.

Oke, I'll check it.

I taught that funding a religion was usefull since y get quite a bit of gold early in the game when y build the relgion's wonder building.

But im still a nab at this, gotta read trough the game mechanics a bit but Ive got no idea where. =O

I have no idea why this is down rated. I enjoy this tactic also.
