victories besides space race

[tomrules]

I've only played a couple of games, but I'm wondering how often other people find the game ending with something other than a space victory? It seems like that where the AI's are going. How well does the computer play if I turn off the space victory?

I think the AI tries for some of the other conditions - but I have never seen them win (or get close to winning) except with space race. The nearest in my games was Hatsuphet getting marginally close to a cultural victory - as she had one city at legendary status and another couple kind of close. But she was also building spaceship and I think would have won that way had I not taken her out. In another game, Mao came close to a diplomatic victory but I was sufficiently strong to block that. He won the space race.

Personally, I think the AI needs spacerace victory enabled to make it fairly competitive. My last few games have been prince and monarch level.

I have several times had a situation were the A.I had so much culture would easily have won a cultural victory it it only would have seriously tried to do so. But unfortunately even then the A.I went for the spacerace-victory and ultimately lost.

I have never seen an A.I winning a cultural victory and I do not believe A.I is even trying to do so. Ever.
However accidentaly the A.I could certainly win a cultural victory.

I would like to see that AIs would seriously go for domination victory. It's allways SS or timed victory.. how boring. Thats why MPs are so much more fun.

I hope with the SDK released, someone will manage to make an AI who tries to get a conquest victory

I'd imagine that would be one of many changes the AI will get yes.
