Conclusion
Unciv's built-in ruleset has five ways to win: Scientific, Cultural, Domination, Diplomatic and Time. Each is a short list of milestones in the game's data, completed in order.
The heaviest single builds are the Utopia Project (1,500 production) for culture and the spaceship for science — the Apollo Program plus six parts at 750 production each.
