should you build every building or focus on a tree?

[VladK02]

I have been building as many culture buildings as i can, but lately Im thinking; should I?

I feel that rushing to end ancient era might be better.
Less stuff to repair later on, plus medieval buildings give a whole pile of culture in much greater amounts; not exactly missing out on anything.

And repair costs are miles cheaper. 400-700 wood and stone, not 3-5k.

maybe focus on a tree, and build only those buildings?

Thoughts?

I'm seeing two schools of thought on the subject:

1. Focus on 2 or 3 culture types and build all of those that you can.

2. Focus on buildings that are upgradeable since the ones that can't be upgraded are pretty useless in the Middle Age Era even if repaired.

I tend to prefer option 2. I like to have a neighborhood for every culture type, focusing on upgradeable buildings, and then try to fit the Antiquity Era Wonders for each of those culture types at the edge of those neighborhoods. I will tend to focus on cultures that I want to get more factions of first so I can unlock their faction specific special buildings (again, focusing on the upgradeable special buildings!).
