Most boring victory type?

[Patryk]

Sience?

Diplomatic; probably because it's the easiest.

I usually turn Diplomatic victory off.

Diplomatic. It's easily the easiest, stupidest victory with zero thought or strategy going into it. You just buy the world until you vote yourself into power. That's the opposite of diplomacy, that's totalitarianism.

Science, diplo, time, culture.

For me it's Domination. I love this game, A LOT, but the fighting ain't that interesting in my opinion. I prefer this game for the diplomatic stuff, the inter-relationship between civilizations, etc.

They are fun if they all on, that way it's always a combination of all at higher difficulties.

Honestly? Domination.
It is fun against one or two civs, but on a stadard size map with 8 civs, not realy. It can get very boring towards end. Not saying that other victory types are super interesant in the last turns when you already know you are going to win, but at least you can go through these turns quickly.

In multiplayer this all changes tho

Yeah, more fun because you also have to prevent the other civs from achieving their preferred victory type.

I haven't played Civ that much, but that's what I can tell with my experience.

Time, though not as brain dead as diplomatic, it's not exactly hard either, and most of all: unsatisfying, only time I got it is by accident because i took too much time for a culture victory I was about to get.

Diplomatic as said above is just a easy win button as long as you have a solid economy. The fact that City States are so easy to be allied with, makes it ridiculously easy even though you could have messed up your whole game. It'd have been more interresting if you had to make other Civs vote for you. The City States matter too much so freeing defeated Civs to have their support in Congress, paying others to vote for you, it's pointless.

You can just turn off city states and it'll be the way you want.

Diplomatic is the most boring unless you do something to spice it up. The current Game of the Month at civfanatic is a diplomatic victory game, but OCC is enabled and the obvious place to settle your capital has no access to the sea. It was a fun one.

Domination is fun for a while, but often gets tedious before it's over.

Diplo or culture. At least with domination you get some late game lulz with nukes and death robots.

Science remains fun just for the fact that it is the victory which tests your tech rate efficiency more than any other type. It is good as a "benchmark" of how long it takes to get to the end of tech. Other victories can bend the rules and finish the game early (dom, culture with sacred sites)
