How to be a Cultural Giant

from Stardock Forums
Cultural victory is by far the easiest to achieve least for me any way. But that's not the point the point is how to be a Cultural Giant so here you go: the first is a given YOU HAVE TO GET CONTROL OR MARJORATY VOTE IN THE UNITED PLANETS( this is easier when all of the MAJOR alien civs are present, so don't go killing them off the first chance you get). Second is TRADE so trade with everyone even the minor civs when things start to get hot "so to speak".So everyone likes you (they'll trade with you too). Which brings us to the next element Starbases, starbases are about the most important element in keep control of the UN and being a culture giant. Starbases if you didn't already know has all types of little gizmos to help you out, but you want to build to starbases on the influnce reasource and build all the culture molduces you get
Well that's about it

Jaxom or Jexal? Yep, thanks for that contribution - as a fellow influence player, can I suggest you check the thread entitled "Winning maso with no military"? I posted by thoughts and others have along the same lines - I think you would find them interesting. Cheers! :)

Actually, majority in the united planets is easier than the current cultural victory condition, which requires a cultural majority in most sectors.

Hmmm Jexal, I think you'll find the UP is just a reflection on whats going on in the game universe.
The UP council doesn't actually do anything... its just something to spend those influence points on.

By that I mean yes you can use it as an indicator of your influence. I think thats the angle your coming from where as I think fsk+ was commenting on 'controlling' the council, which you can do that through buying influence points, judging who will vote what etc.

Hey Stydracos,
Getting control of the UP in my way of playing, it neccesity because it shows that you have almost acheived cultural victory( so it is a way of checking to see how close you are confidence builder I guess :) ).
I hope that clears things up for you Stydracos.

Jexal in one game I bought all influence point from everyone includung minors.All this does is to ensure that you get your way once the UP council votes every so often.It will not get you a cultural victory.You must turn 90% of the squares blue on mini map to get cultural victory and then hold them for a period of no less than one year.As you gain control of the galaxy you will gradually acquire more and more influence points.

Hey eradicus,
There are advanctgies to having control of the UP like( getting habitible planets that pop up every once and while and you can get stuff like Monster Park, Olpious, Requests Center, and few other events I can't think of off the top of my head). But if you know so much about Cultural Victory how about you start your own thread and stop peatering me about minor detail GOSS >:( !

Thats okay about your scores.They will improve over time.We don't place much emphasis on scores as long as you are enjoying playing the game.We are not about trying to maximize our scores only playing to the level that we enjoy.If you look at my profile you will see my first games were only about 4000 or so.To see someones profile just click on their name.
