space race

[night crawler]

I just won my first civ 3 game by building a space ship (Korea). It has been I while since I did that on civ 2 but didn't you actually have to wait until the ship arrived on alpha centauri and be the first to arrive to win? I was thinking in civ 2 you could still lose if you capitol was overrun while waiting for the ship to reach it's destination which took several years. I felt a little let down that it ended so abruptly... eventhough the video was kind of cool to watch.

No technology has advanced. Your spaceship just materialises at its destination the turn you complete it.
