Exploration Age Victory is Underwhelming

[Kurtbob]

I just completed a game achieving a victory in the Exploration Age after conquering the last AI opponent. It felt very gratifying, at first...

My complaint is that the game really dosent acknowledge your triumph in a rewarding way...no bonus experience for you or the leader, no steam achievments, no conquest vid, no final score to add to a hall of fame...you just get the Victory screen. Game over. Seems rather lame...like the devs didn't design the game expecting the player to win in the exploration age.

That‘s interesting. If you win in ancient age, there is a special conquest video.

How do u win in the ancient age? I conquered my entire continent in the ancient age, which led to my conquest of the hidden continet in the exploration age.

Have less than maximum players.

Kinda interesting, because most of the achievements are for winning as someone jn the modern age specifically. So these early conquests do hurt you.

Play on the Terra Incognito map type. It puts all players on the same continent.

 

[Kurtbob]

I never realized Terra Incognita allowed that. I will definetly try it out.

It does?

It does?

Nope, that’s mistaken. Terra Incognita just means your starting point is a continent and the Distant Lands are a randomized script from the existing ones.

 

[Kurtbob]

Ok...so to get an ancient victory, you have to set the number of players low enough that no one starts on the hidden continent.

Too bad about Terra Incognita...i can't wait for the devs to increase the number of map types and selectable map options.

I wish the maps types had a bit of a description...I mean what is the difference between any of them? No way to tell...
