How Do I Win in 2.2?

[Undeadguy]

I've been playing a game for about 50 hours now. My victory score is 250k and second place is 55k. I crushed all the FEs and the crisis. My federation and my vassals account for about 75% of the galaxy. I remember there were several victory conditions prior to 2.2 where you win if you own 40% of the habitable worlds, or 60% if you're in a federation.

Currently, the victory tab says I'll win in 2625, which is 50 years away and I don't feel like slogging through that. Am I missing something? Is score/time the only way to win now?

You choose the end-date in the game set-up screen. Why'd you choose one so late?

I'm pretty sure there are no "complete this condition to instantly win" things anymore. It's now more like a points-accruing grand strategy, like the rest of all of paradox's games.

Point in case there are no real victory conditions... you can end the game any time you like.

If you're that far in the lead, just leave it on fastest game speed and do something else. You'll "win" eventually, and if something dreadful comes up, the game will typically auto-pause.

I didn't realize 2625 was considered late. I thought I could still win by planet count and have been trying to find any reference to that. Bummer it's been removed.

The old victory conditions should still be there afaik.

You win in 2.2 in the same way that you win in previous versions of the game: By becoming so powerful that the entire rest of the galaxy combined poses no threat to you. Seeing the victory screen is more or less irrelevant to actually winning.

The only winning move is not to play.

How about a nice game of Chess?
