Decided to try for something new this time around.  Great Artists creating great works came in right handy toward the end.

Gotta admit, though, it was kind of a let-down, with the exception of getting to watch a new end movie.  Don't even get a very good victory bonus.

Meh.  Guess I'll go back to space victory.  Much better victory bonus, and a heck of a lot easier than conquest.

I only achieved Cultural victory once in CIV IV and think it could be the hardest to achieve.  I started with the Egyptians and set aside 3 cities for wonders and produce culture like crazy on those 3 and had my other cities just support/build science, etc.

I found that spreading all the religions you can to use those +50% culture cathedrals, synagogues, etc to be very imporant on the 3 cities you chose.

Its funny how easy it was to achieve on CIV III and so difficult on CIV IV.  I think it went from easiest to trigger to hardest to trigger on the 2 versions.

I've always had difficulties with the Cultural Victories.  Due to the map sizes I'm accustomed to playing on (never anything near huge),  I would usually hit the requirements for Domination before Cultural.  If I remember correctly,  yes,  the victory bonus wasn't much compared to the others you could get with less effort.

I just played for one of these last night.

I was was finding it hard until I went 100% culture. then I just cruised right in. the best thing about playing for culture is you don't really need to worry about happiness because of theatre and colosseum. which means you can grow your citys pretty large.

my strategy was pretty much farm abuss. every 2 farms means one specialist. that plus merchantism & caste system and I had 20+ population citys with 6+ specialist.

I think it is a soild victory option but you diffinitly need to plan early for it. its not the kind of thing you can just do on the side.

I play for the challenge then the score. so the lower score bonus doesn't bother me that much.
