@Nemesys: Did you check the Mastery score on the Victory page (and not the score displayed in the lower left of the playing screen)? The spaceship is a team project, and gives a massive Mastery score boost.
Mastery victory overrules all other Victory conditions, but I have to agree that it still needs refining ( like when you conquer and vasal all other civs, etc. )/QUOTE]
Tx for replying,
yes I was looking at the mastery score points section...I had 235 to 215 of Gandhi/cleopatra with just 1 turn to go, and the next turn I though i was going to win and instead they won a mastery victory..went on looking the mastery score and they had 315 to my 235...just as they succesfully landed a spaceship in the very last turn! it may happen of course, but as i told you the strange thing was not having news about them building spaceship parts, so I though they would not reach my score anymore..! anyway, i think i'll turn off either mastery victory or permanent alliance options...
tx again
cheers,
Nem
