In the final stages of the realm, your goal is to trigger a decisive win condition while defending against rival Godir. To achieve true Ascension, you must focus on unlocking specific Tier 5 Tomes, such as the Tome of the Arch-Mage or Tome of the Eternal Lord, which provide the ultimate "Finisher" spells for your affinity. These Tomes represent a massive power spike, granting access to game-ending global enchantments and mythic unit transformations.
To secure a Magic Victory, you must construct and light three Affinity Beacons across your territory. Once ignited, you must defend these positions for 15 turns against wave-based invasions and hostile world spells from rival empires. Alternatively, prepare for the Expansion Victory by seizing the required number of provinces and constructing the Beacons of Unity. Ensure your city specializations are optimized for high production and mana generation to support these late-game demands.
