What victory conditions do you make available?

sometimes all, sometimes domination and conquest only. Its not really suited to a builder's game

How can you put 31 civs on a tiny map? The only way I have been able to force 31 civs on a map is if I make the map larger than 'Huge'.

you can make a scenario with 31 players (scenario properties) or adjust the rules so theres 31 civs on a tiny map (world sizes).

what i wonder though is whats the best tech rate and ideal starting distances. lots of civs on smaller maps is great fun, without a adjusted tech rate though it seems that the tech pace is really fast.

My 31 civ on tiny map game

I got interested in trying this style game after reading this thread. It's a great concept.

I'm playing the Celts. My starting position was ideal. Two civs couldn't even start a city due to the proximity, so after building a few warriors, I attacked the settler/worker stack of two civs just hanging out in my backyard. Due to this, and subsequent battles, I have loads of workers - a complete immigrant worker population - no native Celts want to build roads in my empire.

So, since it's constant war, I got a MGL and built and army. Gallic Swordsman Army KICKS BUTT!!! I picked up a second MGL a few turns after this screen shot, and built a second Gallic Swordsman Army.

So I'm knocking off one civ after another. I think I killed off 9 civs so far. Next on the list: Ottomans, Americans and English. Here's a screen shot of my last turn tonight. I hope to finish the game tomorrow.
