Quote:In fact, now I'm wondering if this might be a better approach to fast culture wins in general. Just stick with one city early, where you can clean up on wonders and religions and research quickly to Music and Bureaucracy and Liberalism. Let the AIs develop cities for you (including growing cottages) and collect them with flips.
It doesn't seem likely that the AI's would get too well developed cities witihin your cultural borders on a map with more room.
