While Contact and Domination are universal victory conditions, certain builds can optimize your chances. For Contact, a scientific focus is paramount. The Pan-Asian Cooperative with their +1 Science per city and +10% Worker speed, combined with a Laboratory and Scientific Instruments, provides an unparalleled scientific head start. This allows you to quickly research 'Orbital Automation' and discover alien artifacts. For Domination, a military and production-focused build is ideal. The Slavic Federation, with their +1 Production from Strategic Resources and +10% Unit Production, paired with a Fusion Reactor and Weaponry, creates a formidable war machine. This allows for rapid unit production and upgrades, enabling you to quickly overwhelm your rivals. In both cases, tailor your Virtue choices to support your chosen path, whether it's boosting Science for Contact or military strength for Domination.
