Just wondering if I am the only one who finds that sometimes the Domination victory can be a disappointment. In my last game (huge, 80%, archipelago, wet, warm, 4M old, 10 civs) it was down to the Chinese (MPP/ROP), the English (weak, backward and culture flipped almost to death), the French (#2, fouling my seas with her battleships’s) and me, (the Americans.)
Having had enough of “the saint’s”
forays into my territorial waters, I set up a picket of “Modern Battleships” (a new naval unit I’m working on) just inside her borders. I then get a message from Saint Ash Pile to “Leave or declare war .” Suck bilge water Joan, I’m not leaving!” So Joan d’Ash hits one of my Nuclear Submarines with a bomber,
how’d she see it? Nothing around but my ships (bug? glitch? cheat? a new thread?
)
Anyhow, now we are at war. I execute a Pattonesque charge, taking a line of cities from her east coast to her west coast, dividing her territory in half while the Chinese attack from the northwest. Fortify, regroup, reinforce, and now I am ready to flambé her bald booty back to the Stone Age
– End Turn.
I finish giving my build orders for the next turn and here it comes – “You have achieved a domination victory. No movie, no love and kisses, just a “you won get over it.” What a let down.
Does anyone know what conditions must be met to get the domination win? I’m thinking about unchecking the box for future games. Yeah, I could have played on, but that is like reading the last page of a good mystery novel before you read the book – you already know what is going to happen.
