Wonder victory
Construct and defend a costly Wonder until its countdown completes.
Overview
Construct and defend a costly Wonder until its countdown completes.
Winning condition
A Wonder can end a match when the selected victory rules enable its countdown. The builder must protect the structure until that timer finishes; constructing it is only the first step. Confirm the setting before committing the large resource investment. In a campaign, the objective may instead be to build, defend, or destroy a named Wonder under scenario-specific rules.
Attack and defense priorities
Choose a site behind defensible ground, keep builders safe during construction, and reserve army and repair capacity for the countdown. Watch approach routes for siege, transports, and raids that can pull defenders away. If an opponent starts a Wonder, identify a route to attack it or its protecting economy before the timer expires. A distant army win does not help if the objective remains standing at the deadline.
