I just won my second game, having gone up to Warlord difficulty. I was going for Culture victory, but I ended up winning a Domination victory because we reached 2100AD and I was the only one who had destroyed another Civ's capital. I was on the verge of building the United Nations and getting the Culture victory though. I was also high on Technology. So what was I doing wrong?
I know how to go for the Domination victory (food to build up population, research and build lots of units, spread out and attack everything), and I'm guessing that for Economic you need lots of trade which you obviously turn into gold. Then you've got Technological where you need to research lots and lots. But what do you for Culture? You can research Cathedrals etc. and some techs which lead to cultural stuff, but do I need to spread out too? I was reading about the culture flipping thing but that never happened. I basically had two cities which I was defending vigorously while going for cultural stuff.
This is such a fun game. I've only played two games so far, having built The Great Wall of Zimbabwe in the first game, and bombed Rome from London with Lancaster bombers in the second. Oh yeah, and nuking another Roman city was fun too, if not very cultural
Out of interest, had the game gone to 2100AD and everyone had been equal Domination-wise, how would the victory be calculated then? Because before I attacked and conquered Rome everyone was equal.
