A very strange victory

[Odin442]

So, I just won my most recent game with a long, hard race to transcendence. I also managed to pull off a semi-successful diplomacy victory earlier in the same game, though Deirdre decided she didn't like the idea and decided the council could go to hell (I swear, one measly continent erased and they just never forgive you...), so despite the fact that I won the vote for supreme leader, the game dragged on through a hundred more turns while I systematically wipe the Gaians off the face of the Planet and finish the Ascent to Transcendence. Now, the funny thing. In the Hall of Fame, it lists my victory as being diplomatic, despite the fact that the game never really ended until I finished the Ascent. That ever happen to anyone else?

It has happened to me, too. But I didn't look at what kind of victory it was. And sadly I've lost that installation.

The reason for that is that you started to go for dimplomacy and you won but you started your dimplomcy first so that is how it works whichever way you win when you start first (VERY complicated the way i said it, Maybe someone will clarify it)

 

[LesCanadiens]

Yea, even if one or more factions defy the council vote for supreme leader and you eliminate the renegade faction(s), it still counts as a diplomatic victory.

Does the amount of points for each victory condition vary? If not then what does it really matter?

Anyways just reinstalled me SMACX and can't put it down

Oh, but it does vary. I get less points for Diplomacy than I do Transcendence.

I think the extra points from victory are computed like this:

-2 points to the added points for year elapsed, then:

Conquest: 1000 Points
Economic: 1200 Points
Diplomatic: 1200 Points
Progenitor (SMAX only): 2000 Points
Transcendence: 2000 Points
