Victory Conditions Problem...

Ok, this seems to be my day for being suprised by stuff with this game.

I just had a game end where the victory conditions were as follows:
First place player score 200% of second place player.
1.0 years of peace
10.0 years till victory conditions apply.

Normally I don't play using victory conditions, bu tI thought that ALL the victory conditions had to apply for the game to end.

But in this game the first place player had met the first conditions but there was still a war going on. We were past the 10 years elapsed time so I knew that one was met.

Apparently it's an either or thing not a both thing. This is correct? If so I didn't know it.

All the conditions are "OR", rather than "AND"

Otherwise the "Conditions don't apply for X years" would be identical to the "Y years have elapsed" condition.

Geo your having a hard day with this game.

Is that why we love it so much.... Because we can hate it so much...

Was that the bolean logical "OR" and "AND" operators or the gramatical "or" and "and"?

I guess that proves that it's a love hate relationship we have with this game.

actually, the 'dont apply for x years' is the only AND condition, while all the others are OR.
