Armageddon Victory

[Zechnophobe]

Real Simple: Kill the Avatar of Wrath to win the game.

Easy to understand how to do it, difficult to actually achieve. Fairly dynamic in game experience that leads to this victory.

But that is if your against arrmageddon. What about the Shiam?

Given the nature of armageddon I would think that conquest victory describe the opposite of this pretty well.

Or, maybe make it that you have to capture the 4 horsemen and the avatar of wrath. Could require some game mechanic changes but would be interesting; especially if someone captures them first and you have to kidnap one of the horsemen.

So even good civs should try to raise the AC so they can kill the avatar of wraith?

But...the Avatar of Wrath goes down so easily. Plus it's only going to be doable by whomever had the thing spawn in/near their lands. Just a tad arbitrary to make it a victory condition.

They do drop those items now. Perhaps gathering them in one place would prove sufficient, mayhaps allowing them to combine into one structure or something. Could be possibilities there.

Requires evil?

Could be the Evil version of the Altar victory, cause Armageddon and gather all the unholy items together.

Yeah, that would be cool.

Unfortunately it didn't make it into the current version (except the horsemen items ), so it's either not considered a good idea or planned for the next version

Killing the avatar by itself is fairly easy, but raising the armageddon counter to 90 is hard.

I do like the Armaged-tron idea even better. That way you don't have the random effect of people stealing your victory condition, which I know will be more annoying on bigger maps.
