I haven't played a Civ game in a long time but before I saw B8 talk about it in the last few years, I legitimately didn't realize there was multiple win conditions. I was so used to playing games where the goal was to eliminate everyone else that I thought the only way to win was via destroying everyone else or via points at the end date.

So every game of Civ that I have played, I have only ever tried destroying everyone else. I did always wonder why they cried about wars so much because in my head it was 'Well what the fuck am I supposed to do?'. That mentality was only compounded because whenever I didn't war early, people just brought the war to me so I figured that was the entire point of the game

EDIT: Oh I see why I was under that impression. Seems after googling most of my Civ playthroughs occurred on Civ 1 and 2. So by the time I played again on a newer version years later, I never bothered to try anything else as I wasn't aware of the extra win conditions.
