Expansion #2: Will it add "Victory Conditions", if so, would that allow the creation of a Campaigne folder?

2 things that would make Xp # 2 even better than Entrenchment!

from Sins Forums

I have looked to see the extent of info that has been released regarding the 2nd expansion and do look forward to more diplomacy options.  But, I wonder if there will be victory conditions added that may possibly add the ability to use a campaigne folder for example to set up mini-campaignes.  i.e.  make three maps, first  one with a victory condition that allows you to continue on to next map upon completion, to achieve that victory condition and so on until you fail or complete the final map in the series.  Ofcourse each map could contain a lil story line to connect the maps and such. 

After playing several games of sins recently, I thought that haveing the the ability to make multiple maps in a series dependent upon victory conditions would be alot of fun.  Is this a possibility?  Because I have not come across any info relating to it. 

Comments/info/opinions, appreciated.      :)

Hmmm, so no one has heard of the addition of victory conditions?  Bummer,,,,,,,more game types and victory conditions could add yet another fun aspect to the game.

In other words, you are thinking about a campaign editor, right ?

I hope ironclad guys were meaning that or at least thinking about it.

Yeah, a campaign editor.... but it could be as a simple as ...Map one  victory conditions: defeat 2 normal opponents on 18 planet map.... upon victory,,,,,you open up next map.....perhaps, maybe when you choose the campaign it could be different color type or something to differentiate between single maps and campaign that have series of maps with victory conditions.... they could be in the list of maps to play but upon choosing you would see how ever many maps are in that campaign...for example, there are 3 maps.. and only the first is selectable.. and the next two are greyd out...until you defeat it and then the second that was greyed out is now selectable... and so on til you can complete the series.  But, it would be dependent upon the addition of victory conditions.

I do not know what kinds of victory conditions could be added but maybe something like kill all or ally with "x" race to defeat "x" race.  Or,  first player to achieve 35,000 money...or hold planet "x" for 30 minutes.. lots of possibilities.  But I admit to not knowing what is actually doable in terms of victory conditions and this game.

I just thought that it could be a fun addition because I had the idea that I could make up a story and create three maps with specific victory conditions to go along with the story and then give that "campaign" to my brother to play and he could do the same for me.  Since our schedules are very much different and therfore, sometimes for months our gameing time is too and we can not game together.
