Hey everyone, I'm currently playing a game, taking screenshots, and posting chunks at a time. The map is a modified earth map with random start locations. The difficulty is Emperor, 14 civs at start, epic speed, no tech trading, no vassal states, domination victory only.

I have been uploading my progress to reddit, via imgur. The links are as follows:

Feel free to give me your thoughts, comments, etc. If you want map saves or the map script, let me know. I'll keep updating as I make more progress.
 
Well it looks like you've got Time victory switched on which means the game will likely end before you win domination.
 
I assure you that I didn't have it enabled in settings. It's a custom map script, so much like the earth 18 civs map where even if you disable tribal villages, they still show up, there was some hidden setting that I couldn't alter. I already passed the turn that it was counting down to and that year appeared to be 1910, which is completely arbitrary. It did say I lost in 1910, but I'm going to keep going, because why would the game end in 1910? Despite giving the the "you lost" popup, it's not flashing at the bottom of the screen, so I'm fine with it.

I assure you that when I set up the game, domination was the only victory enabled, that's what it shows if you check settings in game, and if you got to the victory condition screen, domination is the only one listed. That countdown timer is just the map bugging out.
 
Well alright then :D

Game looks pretty fun, I agree with what DrCron said in the Reddit threads if you're going for faster victory, warring/conquering should start much earlier, and you need to make more use of the whip and drafting, which is actually better on Epic/Marathon than on Standard speed.

If just playing for fun then you've got it down, looks set up for some epic showdowns in the future era. I would build more siege than you seem to be building though.
