    I get bored of the game looong before I have the patience to do a conquest or domination win.

      Domination Vics can be pulled off pretty early at times.


      Conquest and Space are the victories for me - but on higher levels or vs. human players - I'll take anything......

      I don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life - anybody's life, my life. All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die.

        Culture victory is only really interesting in MP ...

        1. Space
        2. Conquest
        3. Domination
        4. Culture
        5. Diplomacy

          Somehow, I always end up with a dominiation victory (except once IIRC, where I really wanted to go for a spaceship one, as I had never done one before, not even with CivII )

            I remember once playing, in Warlords, a 4v4 game on future, where we won by space victory after 3 people died and the fourth was going to die the turn that we launched. I'm not sure what was sicker, Watergrogged or that...

              In most games, by the time I reach the domination %s, the game has already been decided and it's down to tedious moves. But in a few games I've missed out the best fight because of it.

                Since I play 11+ civs with a huge map, I rarely NEVER get a domination or conquest victory but I love the domination movie!

                  Surely the only way to win by conquest is to turn off domination victory? The only conquest win I've accomplished involved destroying conquered cities of the rival continent and just camping my armies there to ensure no new colonies were created. It was tedious and ludicrous and nowhere near as fun as having a global empire, which I sometimes experience by playing after winning.

                    You raze most of the cities when you approach the domination limit. Easiest way is to tech to tanks on a huge map (cav work on a smaller one if the tech lead is big enough) and just crush everyone at the same time.

                      Trigger them all the same turn. Ultimate victory!

                        Can you get a diplo victory with the AP as well as the UN?

                            I like them all although I believe domination land requirements should be lower (I almost always end up building the UN and voting myuself to victory because it's faster than conquering Mansa Musa's few remaining cities).

                            I actually like Time victory best, but it seldom happens. It's just a way of keeping playing for as long as you can.

                            My preferred victories are those where you start with a challenge (like OCC). For instance my last game was a culture victory starting in, well, crappy terrain (one of my 3 legendary cities had 7 tundra tiles in its fat cross, plus one ice water) waged without ever declaring war.

                              It's quite easy to get conquest instead of domination... domination can be harder, in fact, because of the cost of owning all of those cities, if you don't go vassal.

                                After Industrialization city costs mean zip nothin nilch. So conquer with tanks and bombers when your economy can handle it.
