Conquest Only Victory

Have you ever noticed under a "Conquest Victory" only game, where all other victory conditions have been disabled that the computer civilizations are extremely aggressive.

My recent game, 16 Civilizations, Huge map with 2 main continents. When war began it spread to everywhere and it was basically a free for all brawl. On the continent I was on there were 10 Civilizations, now their are only 3 left at 1970 AD.

I haven't played civ 3 for long as I have just bought it and this game that I am still playing is one of my first games. So I was wondering if the victory conditions influenced the computers actions.

Conquest Only Victorys are so much more fun i think because of that. nothing get you going more than a world war

Yes, I am a big "bloodlust" fan as well.

Get rid of all the pathetic victory conditions like cultural, spaceship and diplomatic and the CIV games are at their best.

Are you serious? Wow, gotta try it. World wars are sooo fun

last time i had it set to bloodlust india started lobbing nukes around and chaos broke out.. it was great! imagine, the indians preforming a first strike!

its the only way i play now.. otherwise my games seems to have long perods of peace followed by one or two world wars before one of the other victory conditions are met.

I had a war on one continent where 10 Civilizations were at war with everyone else. It was a free for all, awesome gaming

This I gotta try. Only had one conquest victory when all the other conditions were present. This will be fun!!

Thanks for the insight. I have been heavily immersed in MP ptw because I was so dissatisfied with the lack of AI agression. Will definately be trying this. It might even make MP games a little more interesting since throwing in AI's like that may actually mean something in the bloodthirsty MP world!!

Just Finished the game, there was non stop war, since swordsmen to modern armor, 5 civs out of 16 left standing

How did you have 5 civ's remaining? Conquest is an ultimate elimination game, you must have had domination enabled.

I think he meant that 5 civs survived until the age of Modern Armors.

games that take several weeks are the best..

sleep is for the weak!
