This week, I tried to win with a cultural victory. After looking at a website to see whom would be the best leader for a cultural victory. I decided to go with Ghandi, because of his spiritual history. I was given a great piece of advice, wherein I learned that in order to acheice a cultural victory, I needed to focus every single one of my moves on obtaining a greater culture.
Expansion is key in this game. I focused early on, on expanding rather quickly. However, I learned from past experience that rushing my expansion would lead to my demise, as I needed to give it time for my culture to build up. It was def. more advantageous of me to build my cities near a good food source, this would help to keep up with my growth. I focused less on making money, however, one of my cities did primarily specialize on commerce. Only one of my cities did this, though. This was really good for me in terms of technology.
Getting to how I used technology to my advantage, I realized that I needed to build up my civs. writing. I really just traded for most things after that however. There were certain periods throughout my game, though, that I needed to boost my technology in order to get neccessary improvements.
Now to religion. Seeing as my military was not the strongest, I knew that the best way to become friends with my neighbors was through religion. I did start my own religion, however I did this whilst keeping a few civs. by my side as good friends. At this point, however, I had some nations on my bad side for not excepting their own relgion as my own.
Although I was begining to build wonders, and even had a vast relgious base, I was defeated because of my weak military. Perhaps next time I can get my military and religion to be just as strong, or even connect.

In one of my first efforts, I achieved a time victory. My empire turned out to be the most successful at the end of the time period. I have to admit that I did not use a specific strategy in achieving this. Your strategy does have many good ideas and strengths except for what turned out to be your downfall, the military. The toughest part of this game is to find a balance between all of the different aspects of the game. I liked though how you did some research and created a strategy before starting your empire.
