How do most like to win by?

[James Adams]

I like to win by the top way the last possible way as it has the most score!

[Tactical Marine]

You must mean Trancendence.
It depends for me on all the stats of the game and where I'm at stratigical a few years into the game. I find my self going with planetart governer most often. That could be contributed as I play most game with lal.... One thing I hardly everuse is corner global energy. I just never seem able to get enough energy credits. The one time I managed to do so I was playing at a lower level so the AI didnt retaliate.

[Flubber]

Planetary governorship is the most frequent win-- I don't care much about score as getting a suprehigh score usaually involves delaying transcending while pumping up your population (sheer boredon)-- Usually once the game is a foregone conclusion ( I am more than 3 times bigger than all the AI combined) I see little point in playing things out and just trigger the election

[Jac de Molay]

Same here, though I usually play as Gaian and proceed to go about planting forest across the entire world just to make it look pretty.

[Adalbertus]

DetroitDave, I think Fungus is better for Dee (and Fungboy) ideologically, and in the late game even the most profitable.

[Jac de Molay]

Yeah but it's such a pain in the ass to go back in the late game and switch everything back. Plus (and correct me if I'm wrong), I dont think fungus "spreads" like forest does. Plus green is my favorite color and I like the way I've transformed Planet into a forest paradise.

usually if i can, i'll just beat everyone necessary into a submissive pact (usually the larger factions) just enough so i can get supreme leader. IIRC diplomatic is 1200 points -2 per turn elapsed, and conquest is 1000. lately though, i've hit sort of a slump . some games the AI is beating me sufficiently such that it's no fun (or rather i'm not beatin it enough such that it's fun), while others the AI really sucks and stays on a 2 base island with no terraforming (3 AIs did this in my last game). i usually just abandon these games.

[Adalbertus]

DetroitDave, I can understand you. (Fungus doesn't spread, and therefore you have to plant fungus quickly over your forest ...) But I'm so convinced about the benefits of fungus that I even help other factions out by planting fungus. Preferably Miriam and even better Marr (who has no way to get a single FOP from fungus unless he gets Manifold Nexus or Cybernetic SE choice)
Fungal payloads are expensive but fun!

[Mr. President]

Supreme Leader. You . . . Will . . . Kneel!!!

[Frankychan]

Hmmm, Conquest for me. Even though the points given aren't that much, just the fact that every other (surviving) faction must bend their knee to Chairman Yang gives me a sense of......pride.

Domai's the best to fungal. he can't run green and wont run cybernetic!

[LoriTX]

Transendence or Conquest. I usually play Gaian and prefer a non fighting game, but when the opportunity presents itself for a good fight, I take the challange.

Supreme leader - usually with morgans and peaceful tactics.

[Adalbertus]

Tuomerehu, your avatar reminds me of 400 misspent Francs.

I usually plan to win by transcendence, but sometimes I quickly decide to get elected as supreme leader (Gröfaz? Hopefully not).

[waab]

Supream leader, but latest was corner global market, I had only one city

But it was on a tiny map and talent level or something, it wasn't to hard...
