	PTW: New Victory Conditions: Your Opinion Inflate your Upload Space

Hi everybody,

Elimination, (mass) Regicide, Victory Points and the 'Fair Princess' are new victory conditions in PTW.

I didn't see any thread about them (I probably missed it).

Now, do you use them? Did you try them? What's your opinion? Is the game 'better' or are these new victory conditions just for children/youngsters? New strategies/tactics?

Your opinion and comments, please.

Only played SP so far, but I've never used any of the alternative victory conditions.

Guess I'm a civ purist

Never tried these. I think there are interesting only for the multi-player games...to make them faster....I guess...

I played one and the computer was just plain terrible, as if the victory conditions didn't matter... So I'm back with normal conditions!

I tried the lose-one-city-and-yer-out game once, and the AI didn't REX. Each civ built only 1-3 cities early on then about 7 spearmen per city. Eventually they get dumb and found a city with a single defender, but it was a good laugh. The map is littered with ruins at the end.

I am currently playing a Mass Regicide PBEM, just started... let's see how it goes.

The Aztecs sound like they'd be an overwhelmingly powerful civ in some of those games like the one you described. An early Aztec rush to take out their 2nd city for example... also in Mass Regicide the kings/queens are pretty much Jaguar Warriors in themselves, since you only need 1 that gives you 5 extra "royal" JWs plus the ones you could quickly build.

Too bad I got Spain in my Mass Reg game (random civs)

...hm, sounds interesting. I will try this once.

BTW, changing the victory conditions (the old ones, like: I left conquer only) I also didn't see any change in the AI's strategy.

Mass Regicide is quite fun - I'm playing it by email with a friend.
