Do u play with all victory conditions on . . . . ?

[Nicci]

Or do u switch some of?
i like a game without the space race. i leave the diplomatic victory 'on' to give 'them' a chance

It's harder that way. I feel u have to be a better player to win on points or to dominate 2/3 of the world (that is with a normal map).

How about u?

All on all the time, your cheating yourself out of a possible nail biter if you turn the Space Race off. Nothing like racing/stealing those last couple techs & finishing the last part 2 turns before the Zulu.

It depends on how I'm feeling. A good portion of the time, I have all but domination on. If I want to do domination, I might as well just kill everyone off while I'm at it, instead of just having a good portion of the world.

 

[Nicci]

oh, i love to win. space race or not, but space race seems a bit easy. and u hardly ever get a chance of building the cure for cancer, modern armor, etc. never are really at risk of a full scale nuclear war (which u will get if u play the game untill 2050).

if u play without the space race, u have to be more aware of a few things:
- does anyone built the UN? if someone does u have to make sure he's not a popular guy.
- is someone getting big enough to win by domination? if so, u'd have to act.
- are u ahead on point, or will u be ahead on point by the time it is 2050?

to me it makes the game more fun. besides a diplomatic victory, space race is easy. u don't have to big. don't have to powerfull, u only need to be smart and have a reasonable production capacity to win the space race.

sometimes I really go for one victory type, neglect the rest. Really dedicate yourself to one thing.

I leave them all on. You can change your strategy as the game develops that way instead of being forced down any particular path.

true, but that sometimes requires persistence and that's good for skill-building IMO

 

[warpstorm]

Usually.

 

[SuperBeaverInc.]

Its so much funner for me when I play with all the wonder conditions on, as then you have to worry about the AI while you are conquering the world, building your spaceship or spreading your culture.

 

[MarineCorps]

No. I play with Diplomatic victory off.

 

[Admiral_Tarton]

i leave them all on, unless i'm playing one of my scenarios

 

[Ahab]

What is "wonder victory", I could never find an explanation of it in the guide. (surprise)

 

[Alexnm]

i play with them all on. i like to have options if something goes wrong.

 

[Rameau's Nephew]

Everything but the new "Wonder Victory."

But I never win by anything but culture, space race, or diplomacy. Few things are more tedious than turning 40% domination (when the game is de facto won) into 66%. I can't even imagine going all the way for a conquest (except maybe on the really small maps).

 

[Nicci]

i don't play Conquests. I'm on a mac . . . . So the wonder victory is not an option anyway. I thought it would be a nice feature, though. how does it work? u need a certain amount of wonders in ur control?

 

[King Kruhl]

I turn off Space race, cuz it is just to easy, and Diplomatic, cuz I am a war monger and I never have many friends.
It is just too fun to have 8 or 9 Armies stacked 4 deep with Panzers leaving a wake of destruction as I cross a continent razing cities.

[Blasphemous]

I play with all victory conditions except for Wonder Victory.
I used to play with only Cultural, Domination, and Conquest, but I came to the conclusion that all when they are all enabled I have a bit more of a challange, along with being able to change my strategy during the game...
I recently went for a Diplomatic victory (which I once detested) and was very satisfied, since I had to work for it... I had to hold back and stay out of wars and all (hard, since I tend to be a warmonger)...
Of course it did help that at the time of my victory almost everyone was invloved in a world war.... =D

 

[al_thor]

I used to play with all conditions enabled. However, I have become quite bored with the Space Race, especially when you can build it but don't really want to, but the AI goes mad building it and the only way to make him start over with it is to capture/demolish his capitol. I have won many times with Space Race - just kind tired of doing it or being forced into it just to beat the AI.
Diplo can be interesting/challenging.
I love to win by Cultural, Conquest, or Domination.
It is rare for me to win by Points, because I always satisfy one of the other types before the year 2050.
BTW - I usually played as Emporer on CIVIII, currently play as Demigod in C3C. Have 3 wins to date in C3C - Domination, Diplo, Space Race. Current game level Demigod I have both Space and Diplo turned off.

 

[Longasc]

How does this UN vote work btw?

I just build it and declined the vote because I am a warmonger and betrayer, they would not have voted for me.

When will be the next vote/option for vote?

 

[WarLust]

I usually play domination only since I am a warmonger. Conquest is kinda pointless since I will most likely win anyway with a domination victory.
