Greetings! I'm new to this game, and I realize this must sound like an exceedingly noobish question, so please bear with me. I've checked and rechecked the manual and, while it explains the gameplay mechanics in great detail, it doesn't seem to answer the most basic of question: how to actually win a game. Unless I'm missing something here, there is no description of the conditions that must be met to achieve victory.
I've played Civilization IV extensively, and that game has about six or seven different types of victory. I'm assuming some of those apply to Sins as well (i.e. killing everything that moves or has a pulse would obviously make you master of the universe). But in the first game I completed against 3 AI players, I was baffled by the victory screen that suddenly appeared when 1 opponent was still very much alive and another one was hanging on by the skin of its teeth with some three planets remaining. Yay me, I guess, but it left me nonplussed as to why I'd won.
So, could someone explain what the victory conditions of Sins are, and also how I can track how close I (or any other player in the game) am to meeting these conditions?
Thanks!
