IGN goofed on the unique victory conditions in Rhye's and Fall of Civilization.
From the article:
"The Maya can win if they discover the Calendar by 600AD or if they manage not to lose a single city until the Industrial Age. England can win by getting three cities on each continent, being the first to circumnavigate the globe, or being the first civilization to enter the Industrial and Modern eras."
I'm not sure about the victory conditions for Maya, as they didn't exist in RFC prior to BtS, but for England, the victory conditions are:
1) Found at least 3 cities on every continent by 1730 AD AND
2) Be the first to circumnavigate the globe AND
3) Be the first to enter the Industrial and Modern Eras
If it were just an "or" for victory conditions, India would always win around 2000 BC, by founding 2 religions...
