The attached zip file contains a 2049AD save of a game I just finished. The game can be won with any of the six victory conditions on the final turn! There's a .txt file included in the zip with instructions for playing the 2049 turn to get culture, retirement, diplomatic, spacerace, conquest, and domination wins.

This was a tough challenge and a lot of fun! (I know, one must be sick and twisted to even consider going for this :) ) I did it without any reloading or cheats, got the six victories by planning. To not make it too difficult (because I wasn't sure this was a reasonable goal) I played at Monarch. Having done it, I think it probably can be done at least at Emporer.

The hardest part turned out to be the diplomatic win, which normally I would expect to be straightforward. Mixing it into the same game as the other wins made things quite challenging! This was my second try at the goal. On the first try (different map, I started random again for this try) I could not get the diplomatic win at the end. Had to start over from scratch with a lesson learned.

The map is a standard size, pangaea, 60% water, 7 random opponents, raging barbarians. (I thought pangaea with more land would make the goal a bit easier. I now think that continents at 70% might be better for this goal after all :) ) I played the Babylonians, for no reason except that I haven't played them before.

It was a lot of fun going for this - if anyone wants a new challenge I recommend it!

Kudos! You are the mightiest, meanest, and most popular fellow on the planet. A bit beyond my skills at this point...

Just one word from a man who cant count - YOU ABSOLUTE AND TOTAL ****** ******

:goodjob:
 
Congratulations! I was able to do this partially on my first game (which was chieftan...): I had a save in 1970 or so where the next turn could win by space or diplomacy, and another few turns would get conquest or domination if I unleashed my armies (winning by 1976, not the next turn, though.) Culture would have won around 2000...so not nearly as good as yours, but still all winning conditions from one game. (It's much easier to do at chieftan :D )
 
Damn, nice work!

I'm in a game right now on Regent where I'm pretty sure a conquest, domination, spacerace or retirement victory will be possible. I don't know how you can pull off dominatin and diplomacy, but kudos for doing so.
 
Thanks all! I dunno what next, perhaps I'll try for the same thing on a large emperor map. For that I think I'd better choose my Civ carefully! :)
 
Congratulations. You are the first person this gift. You have won the first ever "ih8ualot-CivIII" award. I have nothing to prove for it but this smilie, so enjoy!

HANG ON A MINUTE!!!!! I tried to load it, but it said:

Datal0 Error:ESPN
Datal0 Error:etc.
Civilization III will be terminated
and Windows closed CivIII.

What can I do to fix this?
