I ran a comparatively idyllic prince game (france, pangaea, tiny). I never had much spare gold to send them either. The AI's took all the city states as allies, I never sent any of them any gold.

I feel I built too many wonders at the start of the game and should have instead built more units. I feel the Fountain of Youth greatly influenced my game - I never hit unhappy and I was able to put off Theater science and buildings for a long long time. by the end of the game, one of the AIs was able to field a ~40 military unit offense. Did not research Radio.ДЄdditional notes: King is much harder than I remember. (note from the future: I wind up losing all military that isn't in a city, but I do enough damage to push them back.)ДЄll policies done. I have ~6 artillery trying to sort them out. There are 15 enemy units on my lands, a mix of modern infantry and tanks. Improvments with enemy units standing on those tiles. I lost a couple workers, and it's hard to build To declare war and send armies (even my ally :( ). Notable randomness: My incredibly weak military score has caused all 3 AI's

My next focus is to get a bunch of artillery,ДЄnd build any helpful buildings (finish my museums, then happiness due to Social Policies: Tradition 6/6, Piety 6/6, Freedom 6/6ДЄt this point, Science is mainly for defense and production.

I am not looking for instructions about what to do but how I can measure if what I am doing works. Or a KPI like 'A experienced player can gain 200 culture points each round around 350 AD' tells me, that I am messing things up in the early game, if I can only gain 100 around 350 AD. If I cannot do it before 2000 AD, I know that there is a large gap I need to close. I am looking for KPIs like 'A experienced player can win a cultural victory before 1850 AD'. UPDATE: To avoid confusion what I am exactly looking for, I add a clarification from the comment section below. What values can I measure my attempts against? Those are just examples, maybe there are much more important KPIs in this strategy I am not even aware of. You should get at least wonder X, Y and Z.You should have built at least X cultural landmarks during the game.You should have at least a growth of X cultural points each turn in the year Y.You should be able to win the game before the year X.While it is nice to see which approaches work better than others, I could use some kind of benchmark from experienced players to compare my results to. I am going to play game after game with the same strategy, making minor adjustments to see what works and what does not. I am currently learning to play Civilization 5 and decided to experiment with the cultural victory strategy.
