Victory

Victory is the ultimate goal of any game of Old World. Each Nation attempts to win by meeting one of the game's five Victory conditions, listed below.

Victory Conditions

1. Ambition Victory: Complete 10 Ambitions. AI players cannot win Ambition Victories.
2. Point Victory: Reach the Victory Point threshold, which depends on the map size and number of city sites.
3. Conquest Victory: Eliminate all other Nations.
4. Time Victory: Have the highest Victory Point total after 200 turns.
5. Double Victory: Have twice as many Victory Points as any other Nation, AND at least half the threshold for Point Victory.

Victory Points

Victory Points come from a variety of sources, primarily cities. The complete list is:

• 1 per City, with +1 VP in each City for each Culture Level
• 1 for each time the Economic Reform, Military Prestige, or Industrial Progress Technologies have been researched
• 2 per Wonder or Religious Wonder
• 2 per Minor City (City Site absorbed by borders without being settled)
