An easy question for me, but I think it would be interesting to hear from you guys.

I have NEVER gotten a Conquest victory, and I only vaguely remember getting a Domination Victory once back in vanilla (before my playstyle shifted to more of an "aggressive builder" )
 
Um...non-space race?

Srsly, I can't seem to win any other victory, not even "back door" domination when I get my war gears going.
 
Economic victory. Becuase there isn't one. There should be though.
 
I second the economic victory (something about having 200,000+ in Gold in the bank and still have a couple decades left should be a victory).

Anyways, I've won one single space victory, and accidently won about three diplomatic victories (all three were the results of me forgetting to turn the diplo win option off, once in vanilla, once when I got warlords, and once when I got BTS).
 
diplomatic/space race- yes in all my years of civ, ive never gone for space race- because I feel it is like cheating, I always turn it off
 
I only play with conquest enabled, so...

I sucked at space-race (and their equivalents) in Civ 2: ToT, however.
 
Well anything besides space/culture is somewhat rare,
Domination requires a lot of time moving units around,
Diplomacy requires some specific work

Conquest doesn't fit with my playstyle (I tend not to raze so Domination comes first).. so unless I'm specifically trying for it I don't get it
and of course Time... never had the tech rate so slow that I (or someone else) wouldn't get Space first
 
Cultural

I have better things to do then micromanage my empire for thousands of years to make sure 3 cities get legendary status.

For me diplomatic is the easiest. Just attack people until they are your vassal and it is instant votes for you unless they are the one you are running against.
 
Never won a time victory, and will probably never do.

Absolutely! If CEO Morgan could win economically in Alpha Centauri, why not Mansa Musa in Civ-IV?

In Warlords, I usually got domination or space race. In BTS, domination is nearly impossible because of colony costs. If you appoint a colonial governor, you get full votes for diplomacy, but only 50% land and population for domination. As a result, you will always get a diplomatic victory first. Currently, I am trying to win a domination victory by putting most of my cities on wealth and hiring merchant specialists in every city, but I am wtill running in the red with 0% science and 100% gold! :mad:
 
Victory? I don't ever get those. Maybe I should stop playing huge marathon maps, because I usually get bored with a map and start a new game after about 20-40 hours.
 
Time victory. I don't think I ever got one, but there might have been games from a few years ago that I'm forgetting about.

I get a lot of space race and diplomatic victories, after clearing out half my rivals. I also have many peaceful cultural victories, but not as many as I used to. Rarely, I'll play out a game to the brutal end and get a domination or conquest victory, but that takes so much time and effort, a space race seems to be preferable. In BTS, space race victories are much more complicated and drawn-out, so I've been going for diplomatic victories more often now.

When you've got three vassals and two war-time allies, a diplomatic victory is actually quite easy. It doesn't even matter who the other guys for, in a medium or large game. Huge, on the other hand... UGH. Too time consuming, and too many people to keep happy.
 
I have only ever got a conquest victory once and that was in Civ 1. I will sometimes get a domination victory because I raze very few cities In civ 4. I would say cultural and diplomatic victories are the ones I have achieved most often.
