Victory Methods Part Two

[classical_hero]

How are we wanting to win this game? The first poll is a bit out of date so I am making a new to reflect a greater knowledge of the ascpect of how the game works.

There are these Methods of winning
Domination. We must have 66% of land and Population
Conquests. Eliminate all Rivals
Space Race.
1 City Culture. First city to 20,000 and no other rival city with 10,000 or more.
Entire Civ Culture. First civ to 100,000 and no other civ with 50,000 or more.
Diplomatic. Build UU and is elected leader.
Historograph. Highest score wins.

It has been my belief for a while now that we will need destroy KISS – and then we will be able to pretty much choose the path to victory that we want depending on the state of the world when the dust settles with KISS.

If we can swing the Nuts to our side, I think we should hit KISS when we have an overwhelming advantage, such as being the only civ with Airpower.

Of course, KISS may hit us no matter what on turn 166 – so we should be fully ready to make war with Cavalry… while we beeline for Infantry to really turn the tide in our favor.

My 2 cents.

I am undecided on what eventually will be the winning strategy.

However, what I do see as happening is us reacting to KISS. If they are allowed to continue unabated as they are, they will win by Domination. Therefore we have to do whatever we can and use any and every option to stop KISS. So instead of eliminating potential tools, we should attempt to use Nuts (and TNT) to create difficulties for KISS.

Once the KISS threat is neutralised, I assume that the majority of MIA will probably vote to finish the job by exterminating Nuts using our already primed military.

My prefered method of winning would be the Space Race or even Culture ... but that's just the musing of the peace nik in me.

I just got an idea...

We eliminate KISS when we get RRs and Infantry, and then get TNT to vote for us to win diplo. If that fails, we go to Space, and make good use of our scientific and commercial traits.

That's not a bad idea Azza
