	I want my Cultural Victory! Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

I decided to go for a cultural victory with the Egyptians on a standard sized map. When I hit the 100,000 cultural point mark I got nothing. I managed to rack up over 120,000 cultural points before I launched my space ship. Is this a bug?

You must have either: (1) 20k culture in one city, or (2) 100k culture and double the culture of your nearest competitor.

Sounds like you probably had 100+ culture but not twice as much as the nearest civ.

I wasn't aware of the double the culture rule. The Byzantines did have about 60,000 when I hit 100,000. That makes it even more difficult. I guess I'll go back to building space ships. Thanks for answering!

Well you could always keep adding culture until you had double you opponents' culture. It may take you until 150k or so, but you could still do it.

Much harder at the highest level. This is due to your not getting many of the early wonders. Hence it is harder to get that 20K city.

Just start sacking Byzantine cities--preferably ones w/ large amounts culture points. Eventually their culture will drop and you'll have the victory.

quote: Eventually their culture will drop and you'll have the victory

Capturing or destroing cities does not reduce total culture of the civilization. Cultre cannot be reduced (unless you introduce improvements with negative culture output). Taking cities undercut abilities to produce culture.

Obviously, eliminating competitor will take care of the problem as well.
