What are the number of settlements for most recent 6.3?

[RabidSheepLegion]

Just wanted to know so I could make the victory conditions be global domination (the number of settlements on map) so I can't lose to AI if I play defensively. IE There are say.... 150 settlements on map, I will make it so all factions need 150 settlements captured to win campaign (I fiddle with turns so I have like 1500 years to get my VC lol)

I think its 199. 200 is max, -1 for water. I'll chopper in Ishan to confirm.

1) So the number of settlements on most recent 6.3 SS is 199?

2) So I can make all VCs as 199 settlements then for a really good long game yes?

Well. I said 199. Ishan said 199. I guess its 199, then.

You know that you can just continue playing even after fullfilling your VC?

Well I like to play defensively, so I want to make sure I don't get message that other faction is close to it's VCs.... know what I mean?

Why don't you just make the VC of every other faction to include to destroy yours?

oh... senile moment lol

wait... would that make the AI more aggressive towards me though? I don't mind, just want to make sure

Possibly, thats why I said "include" because that way they still have to kill off the others listed.
Or you could not only list yourself but also the papacy as a victory requirement for all of them...

hmmmm... so you're saying if I just make VC condition all factions must outlive each other, then mayhem will ensue?

I don't know if the AI consciously tries to fulfill the victory conditions. A lot of times factions ally with factions they're supposed to wipe out and instead they're really good friends. Usually Portugal, Aragon and Castile are allies, as are Kiev and Novgorod, and the Italians too. Rarely do you see them fighting. Or at least I haven't.

rus and rods sometimes fight in my game, 10-15 turns of fighting usually goto truce then allies again though...maybe it's the settlement conditions they need
