Victory Conditions and Faction Choices for Each Type

This guide describes the three current victory conditions and how to achieve each one. Each faction has their own modifiers that make some victory conditions easier than others, but every faction can theoretically achieve each victory condition.

Domination Victory

The first victory type is Domination. To achieve victory through domination, each of the other three factions must be eliminated from the game. There are two ways to do this, either by destroying their capital city, or assassinating their leader. Destroying the capital is simple enough, although it takes a large army to do so as the cities themselves have defenses and the faction will likely bring every available unit to fight you. Units that shred armor are vital, as without them it is difficult to do enough damage to quickly burn down a capital. There is also an operation that reduces the defenses of a capital that is useful.


This is a screenshot right before the Smugglers were eliminated. You can see the ruins of their capital. All territories that other factions own return to the neutral state when they are destroyed.

Alternatively, you can assassinate an enemy leader. To unlock this option, you need level 2 infiltration in all of general espionage areas, and the faction itself. Then you will unlock a several part mission that at the end will allow you to eliminate the faction's leader.

Good Factions for this Victory Type:Fremen and House Harkonnen are good choices for the straightforward base smashing subset of this victory.

House Harkonnen is also a good choice if you want to use assassinations as they can generate agents faster with their 5k hegemony oppression ability, and they can sacrifice agents to complete operations faster. Also, they only need level 2 infiltration in every category to pull off the assassination, instead of the usual 2 in everything except Arrakis and the faction, which needs level 3 infiltration.

Political Victory

This victory type involves the use of the Landsraad. Once the prerequisites of the Dune Governorship charter have been met, it can appear as one of the three choices in each voting cycle. You will need a large amount of influence and votes in order to be elected, as the other factions will also be trying to obtain governor if they meet the conditions.

Once elected, you have to maintain the post for 45 days, after which you will win the game. There is a choice for voting that could show up that removes all charter owners. If you lose this vote, you will no longer be governor and will have to win the seat again, and the timer will be reset. Overall, this is a pretty easy victory if you focus it, and it was my first victory as I played House Atreides.

One note, the number of regions needed to unlock the charter can vary from game to game,as seen below, and the number of regions seems to be in the 35-39 range in every game I've tried.


Also, the Fremen and the Smugglers can still achieve political victory, though it will be harder since they will have to rely on influence to win the votes. The Smugglers in particular have the operation Political Audit wills allows them to trade influence and intel for Landsraad standing, which then gives them more votes.

Good Faction Choice for this Victory: House Atreides is the best choice for this victory type, as they have easy access to lots of influence to win votes and one of their faction bonuses once you've reached a high enough hegemony is to ignore personal conditions for the Charters, except for Landsraad standing.

Hegemony Victory

The third victory type is Hegemony. To win a Hegemony victory, you must be the first faction to reach 25,000 Hegemony. Hegemony is a resource that you acquire throughout the game for performing certain actions. There are also buildings the you can construct that give you passive hegemony per day. Each faction gets bonuses from having certain levels of Hegemony, so even if you aren't going for this victory it is important to acquire it for these bonuses.

Each faction shares the same categories for acquiring Hegemony, as well as a unique method for each faction. The list for each faction can be seen below.

House Atreides:


House Harkonnen:


The Smugglers:


The Fremen:


House Corrino:


Good Faction Choice for Hegemony Victory: Hegemony victory is essentially the default victory type. Each faction has their own unique way to acquire hegemony besides the shared list, so every faction can go for this victory, even if they are weaker in one area like the Smugglers with military. So, pick whichever faction you like for this victory type.

CHOAM Shares

The newest victory condition was introduced with House Corrino. It is very simple, CHOAM shares are available for purchase. If any faction controls over half of the shares, they win.

hegemony wins are so fast I am jsut gonna disable them from now on

[Justin James]

I have been trying very hard for a CHOAM victory, and it is pretty difficult. Unless everyone ignores hegemony somehow, I can't see someone getting a CHOAM win before another player wins with hegemony, even if the hegemony win is purely by accident. You have to be so incredibly dominant with Solari production and everyone else has to be sitting there doing nothing for it to happen. It's new, so hopefully they will rebalance it a bit in future patches to make it more of a threat.

been trying to find more info on the chaom shares had a game running for 3 days but chaom just keep throwing more shares into the pool highest ive gotten is 33% before more shares flood the market and drop me back down to anywhere between 28%and 30%

[Calm Down Bitch!]

Political victory is so lame. Once a faction is elected no matter how hard you attack them (except complete annihilation), they win anyway. Your only hope is this "revoke all charters" voting to come up (which is not promised).

solid guide, very readable. could use another picture showing what killing a main base looks like

[Jetda]

my bad I looked into it and you can get the governor position, just not the others.

[Garret Quillin]

@=FTS= Jetda You should be able to. You don't get the regular votes like House Atreides and House Harkonnen but you can farm influence and use that to win votes

[Jetda]

I don't think the Fremen can get the political victory, at least when I played I was unable to take any positions in the landsard or what ever it's called/
