[GS] Which victory type do you most ENJOY going for?

I always end up going for science on my path to a production utopia. i like building up my cities' infrastructure with all the bells and whistles through the modern era. At that point, I have a ton of cities producing over 100 per turn, so i might as well just build a spaceship. If it's a decent science game i can save the world from all my emissions by just pushing out co2 recapture until the whole world is back to 0. I also like getting to offshore wind farms and seasteads, just because they make the coastal cities kinda fun late game, and science is a natural way to just wrap things up with a bow without the massive clickfest that is intercontinental domination late game.

Easily culture. I enjoy the appeal minigane where the need for yield adjacencies from your theatres and Holy Sites has to be balanced with using them for to raise the appeal for resorts and parks. You're planning everything about your civilization from the very start and it feels like you're constantly building towards something. Which also leads to a midgame restructuring of your cities where you give up some of your productive tiles for those parks/resorts and switch to a more gold and trade focused economy which keeps me invested in the state of my empire for longer.

Second would be domination. I tend to do war a lot for the first few eras where your armies are relatively small and less tedious to move around, then settle into a long period of building what I have before finishing things off with nukes and tank blitzkrieg, to circumvent the problem with late game land warfare.

Domination. I love domination... whether it's the nerve-wracking early war against stronger AI or enjoying absolutely wrecking AI who've been left behind, I like Domination.

I love how you actually have to think through early war. I also feel satisfied to be eras ahead of AI, just makes me feel fulfilled.

The biggest part that bothers me is the micromanagement of all the cities I capture. Otherwise, even the loyalty aspect I enjoy
