A diplomatic win (and cheat)

[YNCS]

I just got my first diplomatic win in SMAX. I downloaded faction set ZETA (six Progenitor factions and one Terran faction) from Networknode. I played the Terrans and, since the Progenitors aren't on the Planetary Council, controlled the council. After I had the option "elect me Supreme Dictator" (no, that's not what it says, but you know what I mean), I voted myself into the job. Diplomatic win, end of game, final score 26%.

That's a very large cheat.

Hmm, I thought you had to kill off all the Progenitor factions before a diplomatic victory is allowed. But, you will have a conquest victory first instead. So, a legit diplomatic victory is impossible in that mod.
