If you don't play competitively, the answer is yes.

Is it normal to play that long on a planet? This results in games that are 8-10 hours long, where I fight the AI in the last hour. But normal difficulty A.I never seems to get anywhere close to a victory condition before turn 90. When focused on a single victory condition, excluding Unity, I usually get to the point of the countdown starting around turn 60-80+. I stopped the planet at some point of time, because I wasn't sure if I'd lose, if I'd continue playing. I have been playing on a large map with 6 players and I had intel of 1 settlement after 70 turns.

Unity victory is way too much trouble for what it's worth, and chances are the player trying to win a unity victory is gonna want you to be allied to them in order to make the countdown go down quicker. The Doomsday victory and Unity victory are the two conditions that require you to research and activate a technology.ĭoomsday victory gives you a ten turn victory countdown, which is plenty of time-depending on map-to assault another player's cities and tear down at least one of their doomsday devices in order to stop the countdown. The other form of Diplomacy victory is becoming allied with all other players on the map, and the game just instantly ends because everyone wins.Ĭan you lose, because someone researches something faster than you? Or if AI gets somehow a diplomatic victory? I don't know how people manage to do it against the A.I, but I found that victory condition to be one of the most challanging ones to do-when compared to all the other timed victory conditions where you only need to wait 10 turns for the victory timer to count down.

And that's not even mentioning how each commander that you are at war with adds about 3 or 4 turns to the counter. The Diplomacy Victory, called Unity Victory, requires you to expand and absorb to Non player faction Headquarters, have a high virtue reputation, and be in an alliance with enough Commanders that the preset time you have to wait in order for the victory condition to complete is not more than 25 turns.
