Sacred Site Victory
Sacred Sites are neutral map objectives captured by religious units. Holding the required sites starts a victory countdown when this condition is enabled.
Overview
Sacred Sites are neutral map objectives captured by religious units. Holding the required sites starts a victory countdown when this condition is enabled.
Use in play
Capture sites with enough military support to defend them; controlling a site alone does not guarantee that the countdown will finish.
Capturing and holding sites
A religious unit captures an available Sacred Site. Once the required sites are held under the active match rules, the victory countdown begins. Opponents can contest control, so defenders need to protect both the religious unit and the approaches to the site. Sacred Site control can also create map pressure before it becomes a win condition.
