AI and Cultural Victory

from GalCiv2 Forums
The rules say that in order to win a cultural victory you have to have 75% of the galactic culture for 10 turns and you can't be at war. So why doesn't the AI immediately attack you if you have 75% culture? It wouldn't be fun but that's what I'd do in it's position.

Does the AI ever try to win without destroying everyone?

Any chance of an answer?

It wouldn't be fun...


There's your answer. If a game stops being fun, why play? =D If the AI declared war every time you controlled 75%+ of the galaxy, what's the point of leaving that victory condition enabled?

I found the cultural victory to be way too easy lol. It was my first game to get past about 2 years of the game and I had 87% of the entire map under my influence when the game ended. No one ever even thought of firing a shot. 6 other civs + 1 minor. I was amazed that during that game the AIs started giving me stuff lol. There was never a war in the entire game between anyone, though there were rumours the minor was paying off the Tolians to leave them alone...

This was at the 'Normal' Difficulty level on a normal map. Too low a level to start at I guess. I just spammed Influence bases all around the map and ate into everyone's territory until I got the 75%+...it only took 1.5 years game time and about 3 hours real time from when I started to try the Culture victory to when I won the thing. - it was too easy imho... Oh well, at least I guess it got me hooked and I'll start my next game in the morning
