You attack your allies and take their empires from them. Do this now before they read this thread. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: What happens after victory?
 

Basically IMHO, a good Peaceful victory is. If Player obtains a substantial enough a Point lead, that results in VICTORY. That was achieved, mostly by Peaceful and/or Defensive Means.

For Example:
A Science Culture: used Stellar Manipulation to achieve many self Created Planets and or Ring - Sphere Worlds to afford an infrastructure that could maintain Large Fleets to defend his or her Empire.

Engineering Culture: Same as some above but to include Planet Engineering with the all the benefits that Planet Atmosphere and Value Improvements may yield.

Merchants Culture: Thru Trade Agreements and his or her own Cunning that has achieved the goal for Victory in a Peaceful and Defensive way.

Workers Culture: Same as Above, but trough total Planet Resourse extraction and his or her own Cunning that has achieved the goal for Victory in a Peaceful and Defensive way.

This may sound like Role Playing, or AI programming, but I also feel it is a Play Style for many strat gaming Players. Not all of us will want to have a total Shot-em-up style game, if possible, however we all can't be Empire Builders and must deal with the:

Warrior, Schemer, Zealot, Renegades not mention the Berserker Style of play, we encounter in our Multiplayer games http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

This may look like a duplacate post, but I mispelled more words in the preveous thread http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

declare war, make peace. repeat.

Re: What happens after victory?
 

The peace VC means that attentive players will need to have a war with someone to keep the game going. In one SE3 game I played, this led to the largest empire trying to enforce the peace...

Re: What happens after victory?
 

So if one suddenly gets a message that the game has ended due to peace for such and such time (whoaw, realy, didn't we fight, I guess not...)
There is no way to continue even though everyone wants to? (Except rerun the turn and make a war, but can on ereuplaod a turn after the game is finished (won))?

What happens after victory?
 

In a PBW game. If the players wish to continue after the Win condition is met, i e peace for some time.
What happens then?

Re: What happens after victory?
 

The game ends.

As when a victory condition is met.

It is over.

So picking peace for x for y is a bad choice..

Re: What happens after victory?
 

Well, in single player you can continue on even after the victory; I imagine it would be the same multiplayer.

Re: What happens after victory?
 

Nope, you can't continue. Well you can keep playing turns, but some weird stuff doesn't work. Construction queues don't work. Repairs don't happen. Can't remember if combat can occur or nto. It's been a while since I tried it.
