VICTORY POINTS
[continued]
Climax
The climax is, by definition, the game-ending event. These are listed below. In addition, at this juncture, team members are penalized for "sharing their victory" and physical control of the planet in the Orion System where the Orion Senate resides is rewarded. Note that all players are eligible to score Climax Points, not just the one(s) that bring the game-ended event to pass.
Sole Survivor
These points are awarded according to the schedule below. Obviously, if this is the climax ending, columns 2 through 5 are superfluous and, if it's not, then column 1 is. Columns 2 through 5 are awarded regardless of which other Victory Conditions are set to "on."
Number of Existing Civilizations at Game's End
| Map Size | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | ||
| Tiny | 500 | 125 | 40 | 0 | 0 | ||
| Small | 750 | 190 | 60 | 25 | 0 | ||
| Medium | 1100 | 275 | 90 | 35 | 0 | ||
| Large | 1650 | 415 | 140 | 55 | 20 | ||
| Huge | 2500 | 625 | 210 | 80 | 30 | ||
| My, God! | 3750 | 940 | 315 | 120 | 45 |
| For example: Sole Survivor is not the climax (i.e., the game-ending). The board size is Large and there are only 4 civilizations remaining on the map, so each of those 4 civilizations would score 55 Climax Points. |
Lone Superpower
These points are awarded according to the schedule below when one civilization has 2/3 of the sum of all PowerGraph points for all existing civilizations and accepted the gig.
| Map Size | Points Awarded the Lone Superpower |
| Tiny | 325 |
| Small | 500 |
| Medium | 750 |
| Large | 1100 |
| Huge | 1650 |
| My, God! | 2500 |
| Continuing with our above example, the game ends by declaration of a Lone Superpower. On a Large map that garners the winner 1100 Climax points. Since there are 4 civilizations remaining on the map each would score 55 Climax Points (including the Lone Superpower, raising its total to 1155). |
Major Powers: These points are awarded according to the schedule below when the Climax is not either Sole Survivor or Lone Superpower (if it has been selected as a Victory Condition this game) for the "Major Powers" at the end of the game. The column headings are factions based on a civilization having more than that amount of the sum of all PowerGraph points for all existing civilizations (but not enough to make the next category up).
Size of Existing "Major Powers" at Game's End
| Map Size | 1/2 | 1/3 | 1/4 | 1/5 |
| Tiny | 150 | 60 | 0 | 0 |
| Small | 200 | 80 | 0 | 0 |
| Medium | 300 | 120 | 50 | 0 |
| Large | 500 | 200 | 65 | 0 |
| Huge | 800 | 320 | 95 | 40 |
| My, God! | 1200 | 580 | 155 | 55 |
Senate President
These points are awarded according to the schedule below when one civilization has received 2/3 (rounded up) of all the votes cast for Senate President and accepted the gig.
| Map Size | Points Awarded the Senate President's Civilization |
| Tiny | 325 |
| Small | 500 |
| Medium | 750 |
| Large | 1100 |
| Huge | 1650 |
| My, God! | 2500 |
Senate Power Brokers: These points are awarded according to the schedule below when the Climax is not Elected Senate President (and it has been selected as a Victory Condition this game) as the "Senate Power Brokers" at the end of the game. The column headings are factions based on a civilization having at more than that amount of the sum of all Senate President Votes for the last Senate Presidential Election held for all existing civilizations (but not enough to make the next category up).
Voting Size of Existing "Senate Power Brokers" at
Game's End
| Map Size | 1/2 | 1/3 | 1/4 | 1/5 |
| Tiny | 150 | 60 | 0 | 0 |
| Small | 200 | 80 | 0 | 0 |
| Medium | 300 | 120 | 50 | 0 |
| Large | 500 | 200 | 65 | 0 |
| Huge | 800 | 320 | 95 | 40 |
| My, God! | 1200 | 580 | 155 | 55 |
Legitimate Heir
These points are awarded according to the schedule below when one civilization has managed to line up 2/3 (rounded up) of all the Heir Support Points currently in the game and accepted the gig.
| Designer's Note: "Heir Support Points" are sparse. Each existing non-Harvester / nomadic entering civilization receives 1. Each Full Orion Senate Member receives 1. The civilization that is highest on the PowerGraph (if there is only one) receives 1. The civilization that controls Orion receives 2. Specials might also provide the occasional Heir Support Point to a civilization while it exists. The giving and taking of support to an Heir is a big deal politically. |
| Map Size | Points Awarded the Civilization with the Legitimate Heir |
| Tiny | 325 |
| Small | 500 |
| Medium | 750 |
| Large | 1100 |
| Huge | 1650 |
| My, God! | 2500 |
Aura of Legitimacy: These points are awarded according to the schedule below when the Climax is not Legitimate Heir (and it has been selected as a Victory Condition this game) as those with an "Aura of Legitimacy" at the end of the game. The column headings are factions based on a civilization having at more than that amount of the sum of all Heir Support Points for all existing civilizations (but not enough to make the next category up).
Aura of Legitimacy Strength at Game's End
| Map Size | 1/2 | 1/3 | 1/4 | 1/5 |

| Large | 800 | 320 | 95 | 40 |
| Huge | 1200 | 580 | 155 | 55 |
