In the seven replies before mine, six were wrong / misinformation / ignorant.



That's a bad FUD ratio...

And what about calming down a little, no? ^^

Something that's not as bad as what you smoke?

Horatio main victory conditions includes 'Wonder', though this is not listed under the selectable victory conditions. Does this imply actual, Civilization-esque wonders or is it a grammar thing that I have misinterpreted? Forgive me if this has been answered already/has a known answer in game. I only just started.

Each of the four tech trees has a final research that allows a type of victory. E.g. Endless Empire ~ once researched, you build one of the devices on five separate worlds & you get a wonder victory. This is a straight copy / rip from other 4x games, notably Alpha Centauri.





To disable it:



New Game > Advanced Opt. > Wonder Victory, un-check this box.



Notes:



They're currently laughably balanced: my top 5 planets could build each in 1-2 turns, meaning that once you've researched it, there's little chance of being beaten to that wonder victory (conversely: if an AI were to research one before you had, bad luck!).







Then again, the entire game balance is non-existant atm. Trouncing the game on serious+ is easy given there doesn't seem to be meaningful penalties on food / resource production at the higher levels. Last game I had no problems constantly being +1000 food on major worlds... without building many of the +agricultural mods :rolleyes:

This is a fairly weak attempt at " " ... first easy game, most players research all the techs just to see the patterns / effects. Serious players do that & then work out which techs to rush for advantages. Hint: tech rushing is fairly central to easily stomping the AI in Endless Space, due to the bunching of certain resource unlocks.

I think they are holding out on some things and this is likely one of the juicier ones.

I find it hard to believe no one has researched it yet.

Either it as yet to be revealed, or it is so far into the tech tree nobody has researched it yet.

I would also like to know what is meant by wonder.

either a mechanic not yet added or it is to mean a culture victory of some sort.

never seen a wonder... maybe it is a really hight tech that i have never researched
