Aside from warfare, there are many different ways to beating the game, whether it may be through a religious victory, a diplomatic victory, or what we'll talk about today, a cultural victory. Civilization V makes for a very intricate game whether it be through how simple things like how your citizens contribute to your civilization to how warfare works and how it's drawn out. It's kind of funny in a way how much is passed over in this game at the same time. In Civilization V, there is nothing that has to do with class, gender, family, kinship, race, or ethnicity. It seems like the whole civilization is male, being that all the people seem to contribute to the work and production while still having to produce soldiers and warriors to go into battle. It's interesting too that there are no struggles for power like in many different civilizations throughout time. You're the leader no matter what happens in your civilization. It's not like the revolts in China that stemmed from the Mandate of Heaven, apparently I'm the one and only ruler. I think this aspect of the game kind of takes away from the experience when compared to what really happened throughout history. I think the little things like race, ethnicity, and family ties are essential when looking about across history. Many wars and battles have stemmed from those very reasons.
Art is an essential part of Civilization V. Whether it be art, music, literature, or theater, they all play a big role in the culture part of the game. Every once in a while, a 'great person' will be born and you have the option to recreate their work or you can give your civilization more culture points, Whatever you chose, it'll bring in more tourists to your civilization. The rest of the world will be in awe of your paintings, music, and movies if you have a high cultural rating. There are many different building you can construct to increase your cultural rating as well, building such as the Eiffel Tower, the Sistine Chapel, or even the Sydney Oprah House. There are also many different social policies that can contribute to culture as well. I think that art is important in that it makes your civilization and your people remembered. Many works give us insight into what life was like in ancient times as well as what people were trying to convey from the past. We saw many grim paintings and works from authors that painted a vivid image of what life was like during the plague. Even before people had language, cave paintings showed us what was important to people back in the day.
