What happens if you meet two victory conditions at once?

Say, reserach on the final tech is going to be finished 'next month', and then you go to the diplomacy screen and make an alliance with the last alien race.

Does your computer explode? Does it cause some sort of immovible-object-hit-by-an-unstoppable-object catastrophic reaction?

Good question, Sephlock :D
Why don't you try it and tell us?

I've heard KseAli mention before that he secured a Military victory when he researched Final Frontier and attacked the last enemy colony in the final turn. So military seem to take precedence in that scenario.

I just did. Tech victory took priority. What a gyp.


No explosion, no catacylsmic error, no nothing.

:D.

Er...if your remaining planet has enough research to still finish the last tech, you still get the victory. if it doesn't, you have to wait. What's complicated about that?

What if you get an alliance with everyone, but in order to get that last alliance, you gave an alien race all of your planets?

I think it's like that:

if (Alliancevictoty()==true) then iVictorytpe=1;
if (Techvictoty()==true) then iVictorytpe=2;
...

That means whatever is the latter in the sourcecode will be your victorytype... no possibility for something strange to happen since the other victorytype will be overwritten and therefore ignored!
