Score victory - a bug?

[Zobo]

Score Victory..

Bugs me, at least.

As far as I know I can't get it.

Anybody know if it is doable and if so how can I get it?

 

[readercolin]

It is impossible. It was taken from Civ-Fanatics methods of victory, and score is one of the victory conditions for games played on the forums, but not an actual Civ victory condition. At least, thats as far as I remember - the thread talking about it came up sometime last spring IIRC

I thought Score Victory = Time Victory?

 

[Onionsoilder]

Isn't score just a time victory?

Disable all other victories in the menu and wait it out. I suggest Quick speed.

EDIT: Gah, beaten by less than a minute! Curse your ninja skills Lone Wolf!

No, time victory is a distinct trophy.

Time victory is the civ with the highest score on a certain turn (Jan 2050 in base BtS). Score victory is the first civ to reach a predetermined score (used in vanilla scenarios; also used to hack in new victory conditions in some Warlords and BtS scenarios as well via changing the calculate score function. I have no idea why the trophy was added in FFH, unless Kael wanted to use it for a scenario or new victory condition or something. Should probably be removed and replaced with something else.

Huh... from looking at the XML files you're right. Well, if you don't feel that it's cheating you can mod the game to get a score victory... just change VictoryInfos.xml to grant you a Score victory on fulfilling some other condition(such as attaining 1% of the world's land, or something)

I didn't cheat the other trophies (though I had to lower difficulty a little for some) don't want to start now

I guess I should report it in the bug thread.
