Is there any reason to go for a conquest victory rather than a domination victory on a large map? Isn't it always better to keep the cities and grow rather than burn them down?

I really enjoy conquest as the only victory condition occasionally.
Sometimes unleashing the hyordes is more fun than building cities and trade networks etc
(But of course only when you are winning
)
I don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life - anybody's life, my life. All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die. -

Conquest, if you actually manage to pull it off, is a satisfying victory. You haven't merely asserted your Civ into unquestioned leadership over the world, you have crushed all opposition beneath your heel
And, by the end of it, if you don't have some named units with more promotions than you can shake a stick at, I would be very surprised.O'Neill: I'm telling you Teal'c, if we don't find a way out of this soon, I'm gonna lose it.
Lose it. It means, Go crazy. Nuts. Insane. Bonzo. No longer in possession of one's faculties. Three fries short of a Happy Meal. WACKO!Comment

Down with domination, conquest is the way to go
I always disable domination, as it seems like a cheap version of conquest (it doesn't give you the feeling that you actually won)This space is empty... or is it?Comment

About the only way to win a conquest without first trigering a domination would be to burn a lot of cities. Another choice would be to win VERY early, like when the AI only has a couple of cities each.Comment

On a very large map? Your triemers would never get to the AI in time or would they, I can't imagine puling that kind of victory on anything higher thatn noble.Originally posted by samspock

Conquest can actually be easier as well as more fun, because you do not have the horrific management costs which will absolutely destroy your civ if you expand rapidly (especially before you can switch to State Property). The money you get from looting and destoying cities keeps cash up so you can have 100 or 90 percent research. Also, you don't get the war weariness from the conquered populace to cause problems.Comment

And now with Complete Kills it is even more fun

I agree sometimes - usually when the AI is more powerful than me
