Civilization IV is now only weeks away from release, but 2K Games are still releasing little titbits of information on the game. Today we have a look at the six ways in which a player can become the ruler of the world.
1. Time Victory – achieved by the player who can do whatever it takes throughout all of human history to defeat enemies, expand their civs, win the hearts and minds of the people, and boasts the highest score at the end of the game, in 2050 AD.
2. Conquest Victory – achieved by the player who successfully eliminates all of their rivals, including some of the most famous leaders throughout history.
3. Domination Victory – awarded when a player uses military might and cunning negotiation tactics to conquer a certain percentage of the world’s population and global land mass.
4. Cultural Victory – awarded when a player has developed a culture so powerful that three of their cities have achieved legendary culture status.
5. The classic Space Race Victory – achieved when a player is the first to complete all of the components necessary to send colonists off into space to found a new colony on Alpha Centauri.
6. The brand new Diplomatic Victory – awarded to the diplomatically gifted player who, at the end of the game, is elected to become the Secretary General of the United Nations.
Civilization IV is due for release by 2K Games on October 25th.
