Looking for suggestions. Alternative victory conditions are not uncommon in 4X games, but I usually do not find them interesting either because they are too similar gameplay-wise to the standard military conquest VC or because the gameplay leading to them is shallow and therefore boring.
An example of the former problem is a cultural domination VC in a game where spreading culture is best done by focusing on military domination or where spreading it functions just like military conquest. An example of the latter is a science VC which requires simply pumping resources into research and waiting till the tech-tree fills up or your rocket ship parts are created.
Games I have not played which appear to have interesting alternative VCs are Endless Legend and the Fall from Heaven 2 mod for Civ 4. In both games, the VCs are civ-specific, which sounds cool. If you have other suggestions or if you know of these two games and could sell me on one of them, I would appreciate it. Thanks!
