nobody wins, all lose. A galaxy at peace is an evil thing http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif .

The winner(s) are the players who have survived.
Usually a team of players who have conquered some other team of players.

I'd have to second Rollo here. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif Techincally, the survivors are labeled "winners", but it is a hollow victory (very hollow). http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: who is a winner, if..
 

So, because it was only an allied "victory", you would be saying Canada (or US or Britain or [insert country of choice here]) "lost" after World Wars 1 and 2?

Keep in mind SE4 is a game, and has no bearing on reality. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

And apart from that the world was hardly at peace, even after the world wars (sad but true).

I'm with SJ, more or less. All the remaining empires tie, and the destroyed or subjugated/exiled/smashed ones lose.

However, it'd be more interesting to add some other conditions.

For example, the players should have some other difficult goal(s), but the game only ends after X years at peace. If peace ends the game before anyone has completed their goal, they tie.

If competition is something the players want, then peace ending the game can be a way to force players into a war.
