Also, founded and annexed cities increase the amount of Culture needed depending on map size, which makes this path very hard for large empires.

Social policies are acquired with Culture, with the cost increasing for each new one. Each tree has 5 policies, so in order to win you must have acquired 25 social policies in 5 different policy trees. In Brave New World, it appears that the tech development in the later eras has been considerably slowed (more Science required for each tech), probably to allow for a longer time to play with all new late-game features introduced in the expansion.Ĭultural Main article: Cultural victory (Civ5)Ĭultural victory is achieved by filling out five trees of social policies and completing the Utopia Project. The spaceship will be automatically launched to Alpha Centauri once assembled. Once you have all the required components of the spaceship (or as they become available), you can assemble them at your Capital. All of the necessary technologies for this are in the Information Era ( Modern and Future Eras in vanilla), and require developing practically the entire tech tree. In order to do this, you need first to complete the Apollo Program project, and then you must reach far enough in the technology tree to be able to build the components of the spaceship. To achieve a science victory, you must build and launch a spaceship.

Science Main article: Science victory (Civ5) In Brave New World, you must control all opposing players' original capitals and be in possession of your own original capital to achieve a domination victory.

The current capital can, however, be destroyed and does not count towards the domination victory. If your Capital is captured, another one of your cities will be assigned as the current capital. Note that the original capital of a civilization can never be completely destroyed it can only be captured (unless you play the 'One City Challenge'). Also, if two other players capture each other's original capitals, you will win the game even if you weren't at war with either of them. You do not have to wipe out all other players entirely! It does not matter who controls the other Capitals: you can, for example, let another player take all the other Capitals but yours and then take their Capital, at which point you win immediately. In vanilla and Gods & Kings, you achieve a domination victory if you are the last player in possession of your original capital.
