The goal of every kingdom is to collect as many Victory Points as possible. While a Wonder of the World reaching level 100 ends the game world, the kingdom that built it does not automatically win.
Instead, the kingdom with the highest number of Victory Points after all bonuses have been applied is declared the winner.
Kingdoms earn Victory Points through active treasures.
Each treasure in an active Treasury generates one Victory Point per day for its kingdom.
There are a few exceptions:
If the holder of an active Treasury was in Vacation Mode on the previous day, their treasures generate proportionally fewer Victory Points.
If governors are in Vacation Mode, their kingdom receives a malus to Victory Point generation.
While a Treasury owner is banned, the treasures in that Treasury do not generate Victory Points.
Treasures are not consumed when generating Victory Points.
Treasures always generate the same amount of Victory Points, regardless of when they were activated or conquered.
Victory Points can be lost or destroyed in several ways:
During a Kingdom Union, the Victory Points of the kingdom with fewer Victory Points are lost.
When a kingdom dissolves, all of its Victory Points are lost.
Forcefully removing a Duke who holds active treasures destroys 10 Victory Points per active treasure. This prevents kingdoms from avoiding Victory Point theft by dismissing dukes.
Kingdoms can steal Victory Points by stealing treasures from another kingdom.
Victory Points can only be stolen if all of the following conditions are met:
The defender is a King, Vice King, or Duke.
The attacker and defender belong to different kingdoms.
The attacker belongs to a kingdom.
The attacker's kingdom has fewer Victory Points than the defender's kingdom.
The amount of Victory Points transferred depends on the ranking of the two kingdoms.
Stealing a treasure from the kingdom ranked first in Victory Points transfers 25 Victory Points.
Stealing a treasure from a higher-ranked kingdom transfers 10 Victory Points.
Stealing a treasure from a lower-ranked kingdom does not transfer any Victory Points. Only the treasure changes ownership.
Victory Points can only be stolen until both kingdoms have the same number of Victory Points. Once they are equal, no additional Victory Points are transferred.
