Domination

[chris.h.dewar]

I used to play as domination only - sad, but it's what I enjoy. Has that option gone. MUst say that I'm quite confused .....

I think so. I eliminated two leaders in the first era, leaving only two. On the second era, two leaders appeared out of nowhere. I gave up.

nah, domination victory still exists, however the way the game is set up there are always 2 continents split off by a big ocean, and half of the players start on one half of the map, the others on the other half
the 2nd half can only be accessed in the 2nd age, so a domination victory in the ancient era should be impossible (unless all the AI on the other map half die to babarians)

Was it really 'out of nowhere' or was it just folks on another contintent?

As for the topic, I dunno how domination works exactly but it'll probably trigger age transitions faster which will slow down your conquest, but you can still fight anyone anywhere all the same.

Military victory is the replacement for domination. *roll eye*

It isn't gone as such, just capture all cities and you win. There's no win scenario for this..

Thanks Guys, I just finished my first game as the modern game ended before I destroyed everyone. I won, but not that satisfying .....

I find it's more satisfying to lay the ground work and win by toying with the ai at the end.. watch as it flops about writhing in agony as you.. anyhow.. I'm day dreaming again.

Try this mod then, in theory this might do the job (I have not tested this one): https://forums.civfanatics.com/resources/more-advanced-options-victory-conditions-age-progression.31920/

Conquest in this is the worst victory path of any civ game I can remember. Which is sad, because the combat itself is a bit better than a lot of other civ games.

But they ruined conquest in this by having you go out and conquer 10-20 cities in the modern era... only to unlock a wonder that you now have to build, then complete two projects on it.

I can't wrap my head around half the design decisions they made. They ruined the military victory in this, at least as it currently stands, because at the point the game should be won (I mean, it's easily over by then in terms of the CPU being able to compete anymore) I still had to go through nearly 50 turns of building the wonder and doing the two projects.

You get to check that out yet? I just downloaded it. I hope it works because this game sucks with no domination mode. Ty for the link. :)
