    Space Launch too. I want the longest game possible so that I can get a good look at the full game, but I won't feel like it was a true victory if I play for a histograph victory.

      A histograph victory sounds like a participation prize. Sure you did great, you whooped on the world for most of its existence but you still got your butt kicked in the end.

        The space launch. But I am afraid that in my first game I will only see "The defeated screen"

          Any method, as long as its peaceful. Military might may well backfire on the first attempt.

              You can disable some in the beginning. I would sometimes like to have world domination so it is one of those games that keep going and going!!!

                Victory will always depend on the contingencies and situation of the game being played. I will shoot for whatever seems the easiest to reach given the circumstances. There should be an option for "any" or like Nemo said, "whatever way I can".

                      I am more conservative. I will only purge the Zulus and Iroquios from my game. After that peace and harmony is my goal.

                        There's a problem with that. You have to choose the conditions at the game start, and two of them (at least) are mutually exclusive. In other words, if you check both Domination and Conquest at Game Start, conquest will be impossible because Domination will always come first. (Anywhere from 51% to 75%, depending on where you get your info, compared to 100%)

                        The only exception would be to go from 50% to 100% in one turn, which might be possible, but rarely.

                        There could be similar problems with some of the others, depending on the AI. If all the AI Civs vote for the Civ that's leading in Culture as soon as the UN is made, then the UN Victory option might prevent a Cultural Victory.

                        There may be other situations like this, but of course we can only speculate for now. We've only seen two victory conditions in Civ I and II. How four new ones interact and affect each other will be fun to see.

                          well, now expansionists have more than one way to expand...now they can expand culturally too.

                            Spaceship 'Unity' launch has a romantic feel for me...
                            I spent some moment of my life dreaming about interstellar flight during my life... I was very happy when Civ II let me build my own starship. A side effect of too many SF books I have read, probably.

                            Of course a Cultural victory is attractive because it seems refreshingly new. As a Hybrid Style player I hope Cultural Victory will be so good to become my favourite.

                              Win?! Wow, I thought I'd have enough trouble with Chieftain.

                              P.S. What are you on? I want some.

                                Not quite. Dominion means owning x% of the land on the map. Conquest means all the other civs are dead. You can certainly kill of all the other civs without owning 100% of the territory on the map, although it would probably be difficult if not impossible in the modern era.
