Part 7: Let's Play Civilization 5, Brave New World, France - "Amuse-bouche"
Everything about France screams culture victory. Doubled theming bonus, unique improvements that grants culture. However, one must not underestimate the power of musketeers. While they may be quickly overshadowed by riflemen, and won’t pass on any useful promotions, their sheer combat strength is un-matched when they arrive. If you can have longswordsmen ready to promote the moment gunpowder is researched, you can easily take any opponent by surprise and conquer strong foes. While the window of opportunity for musketeers to act might be limited, they provide a very strong punch for a short time that skilled players can take advantage off. Aside from their unique units, France are really designed to go for culture, but can just as easily win a domination victory.
