Domination means that you control two-thirds of the map. As for a cultural victory, think "hegemony". You achieve it by establishing sufficient points accrued from cultural buildings. You achieve diplomatic victory by winning the UN vote.

Check out the strategy forums. There is a lot of help there.

This is more effective if you say how much you've played. I've got 20 "full" games and dozens played into the industrial age with very few victories. It becomes a "been there, done that" knd of thing. The designers seem to encourage the expand, build, destroy, win style. Some of us won't wait for the build phase to mature. Others are not ruthless enough to wreck our opponents after building our own states. And, of course, the game is a race to get where you need to be despite the AI's advantages at the higher levels.

BruIseR, read Vel's strategies for clues on what to do. Start on a level where you have a chance, even Chieftain, if necessary. Then try it out.

Well, you did ask.

Cultural Victory can happen for two different reasons:

1) Your total civilization culture reaches 100,000 points, and is double the nearest competitor. To see your Civ's total culture points, hit F5

2) One of your cities reaches 20,000 culture points.

When this happens, you win. That's it.

Diplomatic victory requires that someone (hopefully you) build the United Nations. Once built, elections can be held. Civs meeting certain qualifications (25% of world land area or population, and the civ that built the UN) have a shot at winning. All civs cast a vote. Be careful with this one, in order to win, you need to kiss up to the AI's. Otherwise they will vote for their fellow AI civ, even if they are currently at war with that very same civ! It's a bit messed up, actually.

My advice is threefold. First, read the manual. Second, play a game on chieftain, using the civilopedia links to everything (beware the sad fact that not all the info in the manual and civilopedia is accurate). Third, as suggested above, read Vel's strategy threads, along with some of the other threads in the strategy section. Much of the really useful stuff is old, so you may have to search for it.
