What was your first victory?

[Fat Bastard]

So Ive been playing for the last 16 hours and just won a culture victory. It seemed like the easiest option, but what was it for you?

 

[Metecury]

Military! Could have gone for the economic one but I was dominating my continent and really wanted to see nukes go off.

 

[nicki_boy777]

I think it was science? It wasnt exactly clear and the game ended abruptly saying I won

 

[MantisMaestro]

Science, although I had been gunning for economic, I just didn't have enough factories to make fast enough progress.

 

[lo24681]

had been going for culture, but failed to get my explorers out in time, so ended up falling back on a science victory

 

[Yzman]

Well I was going for science initially with Ben Franklin ( I went Greece, Ming, then America so quite an interesting path), ended up getting science and culture for both antiquity and exploration era and then I won with....an economic victory. I had so many resources it just came faster than the other two victories which were also approaching.

 

[HelloIAmW]

Yeah, economic victory seemed to come very fast in my game (Mississippi>Shawnee>USA as Tecumseh). By the time I'd got my first explorer the AI had already carpeted the map with them so I didn't even try with that path in Modern.

 

[Black Gate]

I went for economic (Han/Ming/Qing as Confucius). On the same turn I got the last great banker charge, I also finished the science legacy path so could have gone for that too.

 

[Seek]

I was a couple turns from winning science, and had started the world bank tour when the score victory popped up because I was forced to tech future tech a few times. This was on turn 78 of the modern age

Will have to watch out not to over tech next time!

 

[Siptah]

Military. Although I could have done cultural as well, as I had finished both legacy paths within 2 turns.

 

[Nikolai II]

Science for me.

Hatshepsut: Egypt / Abbasid / Mughal.

The Gardens of Paradise Civic lets you buy even the World's Fair wonder with Gold to speed things up at the end.

I had the same leader and route. But what Victory Condition did you fulfil? I went for an Economic victory.

Culture. Wanted to see if I could buy the World's Fair.

How was the Econ path? It seemed like it might take a while. In Age II, I really tried to focus on the Treasure Fleets but it was the only one I couldn't get finished in time.

Also: If you want to enjoy the wonder video for the World's Fair, don't built it on a low tile north of your Medieval Walls...

Thanks for the tip

Econ was not the most exciting. Basically buying buildings and waiting for a timer to run out. Great banker can teleport from city to city so as soon as you hit the first capital it will take a maximum number of turns equal to the number of remaining civs times 2.

I found out underwhelming. Would have rather had more different building steps.

Culture victory

Xerxes: Mayans -> Hawaii -> Mexico

Somewhere mid game (and with a fishing focus, they actually could've been better the tiles, but i did that later)

Hawaii and Mayans both felt amazing
Xerxes is probably only an average leader, picked him for the combat strength on the Mayan scouts, but I think Confucius would've been a better leader pick. Settlement limit also isn't that impactful as you move towards the late game (though late game in general matters less, the snowballing happens before that). The strength of the Mayans & Hawaii is in the unique policies.

I don't know! I was a few turns away from an economic victory when the era ended.
It felt really not fun, to tell the truth. Like winning a score victory, which I always turned off in past games.

New patch dropped a moment ago, resolving this issue:

• Completing the final milestone of a Legacy Path no longer adds Age Progress in the Modern Age to ensure you have more time to complete a Victory.

 

[Kimiimaro]

Economic victory as Achaemenid Xerxes, Maurya -> Chola -> Mughal line. Solving every problem by throwing money at it was rather nice.

 

[wilcoxchar]

Culture victory with Isabella and Aksum -> Spain -> Mexico. I was originally going for a economic focused game, but then the distant lands facing me was almost entirely owned by Mongol Napoleon so in exploration I pivoted to culture some as a backup, then in modern with Mexico being thematic the shift to a full culture focus felt right. I also ran into the issue of rail connections to distant lands settlements not working so that also helped the decision to go for culture.
