my friend and i had a little discussion about the victory conditions and about the focus of BTS on the later stages of the game.
one thing we both agree about, is the lack of a "resources victory", in which you get a monopole over oil to win the game. we think this makes sense as we see the power that the oil rich countries gain by this resource. a monopole over this makes you impossible to defeat as all the modern war machines, such as tanks an others require it, in civ as well.
so, what do you think?

I think it's an interesting idea, but i don't think the AI, or any nation would role over and die if there's no oil for it, they'd find another way to run soceity.

I was annoyed they ciut out religous victory from the game, maybe spread a religion to 90% and you get a religous victory because no one dares stand against you, and people crowd into the holy city.
