Can there be more than one spacerace victory?

For instance, if in a mod, I were to make "founding of 7 colonies in the New World" a spacerace victory, could I also have "create 7 trade missions to China" as a different spacerace victory? So different components could be used to get to either of two (or more) space race victories.

Additionally, could these space race victories share some components, but not others... such as " establish 7 colonies along the West Coast of Africa"?

I'm going to bump this one time, to clarify what my question is...

I want to do up a mod where there are alternative spacerace victories. For example, perhaps an Age of Discovery Mod might have either of Create New World Colony, or Create Trade Route to China as spacerace victories. Instead of spaceship components and modules, I would have different stages of exploration that would contribute to the end results...

For instance, founding 3 Colonies in the Carribean might be one stage (3 spaceship components) for the New World Colony victory, while while founding 3 East Indian Trade Centres might be one stage for the Trade Route to China victory.

There may or may not be cases where each type of victory would share some type of components (although this is not necessary to the mod). For instance, I may require that both spacerace victories require 4 West African Colonies (again, 3 different spaceship modules or components).

I hope my question is clear enough that someone may be able to answer it. I'm thinking about refining the spacerace victory in the Medieval Mod (as I think it is terrible as is), and any advice on whether this is a route worth pursuing would be helpful.

Thank-you.

Bumping again...

Since no one seems to have an answer to this, how could I go about testing it. Do I simply copy and paste relevant files in the XML's to duplicate the spaceship parts - naming them differently by appending "test" to the various names in the XML... or will this not work?

And where are the "building" files for the spaceship parts? What files should I change to create a second spaceship... I shouldn't need to duplicate all the entries, just the front end ones, so to speak, and have these point to graphics, text and such for the original spaceship.

I think what you are asking is really complicated. you can try to duplicate and see what happens. I should think its possible, but would require a lot of complicated xml and sdk
Good luck

I'm glad you brought up the Exploration victory again, I'd forgotten about it, being busy with new art and all. What you described should be very easy to do, and only require messing around in the XML.
