In AoE I I just finished Island Hopping. I defeated the Izumo player and still did not result to victory until I captured all Artifacts. As far as I remember there are other campaign scenarios that need to achieve its actual objectives  to obtain victory. But yes, in most scenarios, the player wins by default if all other players are defeated.

In Nineveh, it is essential to destroy the red Wonder (even if it's just a foundation) to win the game. I remember defeating all players incuding the red player (Wonder is still under construction) and did not win until the foundation was destroyed. This rarely ahppens though, since the Wonder would most probably be destroyed first.
