What do you guys think of a victory for any civ that has 3 times the gold of all the other civs combined and more than 150 gpt?
Economic victory?

It would need to be a little more complicated than that. Because otherwise it is essentially "beeline X and Y techs, turn off research." Borrrrriiinnnnng.

No. That's just downright boring and unintuitive.
Potentially interesting if implemented like Economic Victory in SMAC/X (have a huge sum of gold, which in SMAC/X was equivalent to enough to "steal" everyone else's bases/cities, then be ready to fight off everyone else as they all declare war on you to stop you from cornering the global economy).
As described, boring and terrible.

SMAC was the greatest...

SMAC is awesome (never played SMACX that much), but I don't think an economic victory is a good addition to this game.
(just imagine all the gold you could get via spies^^)

Sorta. If you played Rise of Nations, there is a victory condition where you automatically lose if you lose your capital city, so idk. It'd be interesting, but you might as well do a conquest victory then.
Collapse all the civs sounds like an espionage victory though =P.

Funny thing, I have the case right next to me.

How about a Corporation goal victory ? I had thought it off as a kind of Alternative history challenge for China and Japan. Economic victory would involve Corporation or trading income of a certain level like say 200 gpt from all corporations in your empire or 50 hammers from all corps in your empire. ?
It's on gog.com, if you're still looking. $6 for a no-strings-attached download for SMAC and the expansion pack. http://www.gog.com/game/sid_meiers_alpha_centauri
Anyway, I'd go with this as cornering the international gold market, and have it be available after... Economics, maybe? Or Corporation? It was in the 18th and 19th centuries when some people and nations tried seriously to corner international markets. The cost would have to be phenomenally high, though.
There were variations like that in C3:C, too.
Oh, that's nice. I don't own SMAX and $6 is nothing these days.
