I tried setting it to diplomacy only... after nothing but constant wars with my neighbors I was "Nope".
Agree with Yzman--don't disable any of them. Part of the challenge of the game is to get the victory condition I want before the AI gets one of the others.
Civ is a game, which needs a winner and losers. If I could just always vote no, why even have the mechanic in the game? No sane person would ever vote an AI to victory.
Fun > Realism remember?
I disable the same victory times, for the same reasons. But now i wonder how a diplomatic-victory-only game would go, without any city state in the world, since the AI never votes for someone else to win.
Science - lame and illogical, launching spaceship with carpet of doom surrounding your capital negates your impending obliteration?
"Okay ,Mission Control, We're out of the stratosphere. Now calibrate our course through the incoming asteroid belt. Uhhh. Mission Control? Crap."Reminds me of the scenes in that movie 2012 where the airplane manages to take off from Las Vegas (was it?) as the whole landscape is falling apart around it...
Actually that seems to be the ultimate win --- despite the carpet of doom you manage to launch your spaceship and take control of the universe... Or at least survive to try to your luck on another planet!
And 2050? Why 2050? what`s so special about 2050? Will the world end then? maybe. But we and certainly Civ5 don`t know that. It`s nonsense.
That's true, but we're not just talking about victory votes but also resolutions like no nukes.
No sane country would go along with not building nukes if they had the capability and the only alternative was anhilation from your opponents conventional warfare. Just me, but I'd find the fun factor better if you had option to ignore. Consequences like trade sanctions if you do, sure. But if you're AI Russia with 24 uranium and the human player has lead the WC to vote no nukes and is obliterating your empire one city at a time via his crushing rocket artillery swarm, I'd find it more "fun" if the AI would say screw this, I'm not obeying a suicide pact WC vote forbidding me from building nukes to swat this pesky human swarm.
