Domination vic on all the time?

[alva]

I've since loaded the 1.21f patch, and just this evening,
won a domination victory, even though I hadn't checked that option. The bug hasn't been fixed!

Havn't read the whole thread..

Did you start this game under 1.21? If not then perhaps the info was already in the config file and 1.21 had no influence on it?

I started the game under 1.21f.

I Think Catt probably nailed it, it has to do with Victory Point, especially, if Hallumj is playing almost the same setup as me.

When I play without Regicide, princess, etc, the game plays like normal.

But my understanding of Victory points was that they had to do with the capture of the capital cities. I had only captured one capital, so I can't see how I could win by victory points. Or are victory points something else?

AFAIK they are locations scatterred througout the map.

Look in the Civilopedia under Short Game Modes. Apparently VPs are awarded for capturing and holding the princess and also for capturing VP cities, as indicated by a special icon on the city. It says that in SP the starting positions are VP locations.

I remember from looking at Bob6's .sav file that he had a number of VPs. I think this was shown on the histograph page.

Unless you are playing on a custom map with set locations, the VP locations will be at the starting locations for each Civ (usualy their capital city). Each turn, you get a certain amount of points per VP you control (you have to actualy have a city on the location I think).

The way you get points then is not by GETTING VP locations, but rather by HOLDING them, if that makes any sense. So if you had only captured one capital, then you'd be gaining TWICE as much points than everyone else, which would put you in a bit of a lead.

The default victory limit is 10,000 points, but you can change that in the Player Setup window in the option box (where the victory condition buttons and so forth are). Theres a button at the end of all that that opens up a little window. You can change the ending date for normal games there as well. Also, I think you can check how many victory points you have in the Histograph.
