Victory Points are a new system that determine whether the player wins or loses a game if a certain amount of victory points are gained (either by the player himself or the AI opponent). There are 2 types of victory points: dynamic and permanent ones. Dynamic ones can be gained and lost during the game, whilst permanent ones will remain in the hands of one player or AI opponent for the remainder of the game upon obtaining it.
Beneath is a list of all victory points in the game.
