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.

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 )Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - Epicurus

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...You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.

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.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

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.Voluntary Human Extinction Movement http://www.vhemt.org/

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.You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.

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.Clash of Civilization team member

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.<Reverend> IRC is just multiplayer notepad.
