Elimination
When this victory condition is enabled, victory can be swift
indeed.Under this rule,when you lose a city — any city — your
entire civilization is eliminated from the game.The last civiliza-
tion remaining wins the game.
Regicide
When Regicide is selected as a victory
condition,every civilization starts the game
with a “king”unit.Each civilization’s king
is its great leader — for example,the Amer-
ican’s king is Abraham Lincoln. Kings can
move and have minimal offensive and
defensive strength.
When your king is killed,your civilization is eliminated from the
game.The last civilization standing wins.
Mass Regicide
This victory option is similar to Regicide,but every civilization
starts the game with multiple king units.Your civilization is elim-
inated when all of your king units are killed.The last remaining
civilization is the winner.
Victory Points
In addition to the pre-set victory condi-
tions, you can determine the winner of a
game using victory points.You can view
your score (and those of all other civiliza-
tions in the game) on the Histograph screen.
Victory points are scored based on two options that you can set
along with the other game rules on the Player Setup screen and
the Multiplayer Setup screen.
Victory Point Scoring
When this option is selected,the starting squares for each civi-
lization are tagged with victory location icons.You score victory
points by capturing and holding victory locations.To control a
victory,one of your military units must occupy the square at the
Sipahi
The Ottoman Sipahi takes the place of Cavalry
in their strategic forces.This unit’s powerful
attack strength gives the Ottomans mounted
superiority in the Middle Ages.
Swiss Mercenary
The Swiss Mercenary replaces the Pikeman for
the Netherlands.This unit is the ultimate solu-
tion for Middle Age City defense.
New Unit Abilities
Stealth Attack
Stealth Attack allows you to pick your target regardless of how
many units are in the stack that you are attacking.Use this abil-
ity to ensure that the Elite Spearman who keeps healing every
turn doesn’t get the chance.
Enslavement
Enslavement gives you the opportunity to capture a defeated unit
and convert it into a worker or other unit (determined by the unit
with the Enslavement ability).The Mayan Javelin Thrower,Eng-
lish Man-O-War,and Privateer all have the ability to enslave units.
Victory Conditions
Civilization III:Conquests includes a number of new victory con-
ditions designed to provide specific goals and allow for shorter
games.
You can enable the new victory conditions during game setup on
the Player Setup screen (in a single-player game) or the Multi-
player Setup screen.As with all victory conditions,you can also
use the game editor to set victory conditions when building or
editing a scenario.
