Civ4VictoryInfo
The Civ4VictoryInfo file defines the settings and triggers of the various victory conditions (Domination, Conquest, Diplomatic, etc.).
All tags must be opened and closed; the first is the "open", the second the "close" tag. If nothing goes inside a "list tag", then it should just be the opening tag with a "/" before the closing bracket. The following tables contain all available tags, as well as their purpose and accepted values.

Tags
Headers
These tags typically bracket other tags, sometimes the entire file, and are generally used to specify more than one piece of data.
| Tag Name | Description |
|---|---|
| VictoryInfos | This tag begins and ends the file. All other tags are contained within the opening and closing VictoryInfos tags. |
| VictoryInfo | This contains the information for each victory condition. |
Text
| Tag Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Type | This tag declares the internal name of the victory condition. It is used to refer to this specific victory condition in other files. |
| Description | This text tag is a reference to an entry in the text files that controls the display name in various languages for the victory condition. |
| Civilopedia | Another text tag which refers to the multi-language Civilopedia entry for this victory condition. |
| CityCulture | If NONE, there is no prerequisite culture level for iNumCultureCities number of cities in order to achieve victory. The standard culture victory has the tag CULTURELEVEL_LEGENDARY, indicating that cities need to have Legendary culture to reach victory. |
| VictoryMovie | This declares a text tag in the Civ4ArtDefines_Movie file which references the movie played after this victory is reached. |
Integers
All of these tags have a numerical value. Though it sometimes can be negative, it usually is not.
| Tag Name | Description |
|---|---|
| iPopulationPercentLead | Presumably how much more population you must have over the next most populous civilization to win. |
| iLandPercent | Indicates the total percentage of land you and your vassals must control to achieve this victory. |
| iMinLandPercent | Indicates the minimum percentage of land that you personally must control to achieve victory. |
| iReligionPercent | Indicates the total percentage of cities that must be following your state religion (when you control the holy city) in order to win. |
| iNumCultureCities | This integer tag contains the number of cities that must meet the CityCulture tag's level of culture points. |
| iTotalCultureRatio | Unknown. All standard victory conditions have a value of 0. |
| iVictoryDelayTurns | Number of turns before the victory is registered officially by the game and a win is triggered. This is used for the Spaceship victory condition. |
Boolean
All of these can either be 1 (on, or true) or 0 (off, or false). Be careful, as you can wind up with a double-negative, which the game will interpret as "True".
| Tag Name | Description |
|---|---|
| bTargetScore | If set to 1, the victory will trigger if a team reaches a target score as defined in a wouldbuildersave file. |
| bEndScore | If set to 1, the victory is based on the player with the highest score at the end of the game (2050 by default). |
| bConquest | If 1, this victory requires the elimination of all enemies and qualifies as a Conquest win. |
| bDiploVote | If 1, this victory requires the player to be elected in a worldwide vote and qualifies as a Diplomatic win. |
| bPermanent | Unknown. The only standard condition with a value of 1 is VICTORY_SCORE. |
