I'm sure this has been asked before, but is there a way to get rid of the "X has won a Y victory!" flashing obnoxious notification nag at the bottom of the screen? Some of us like to keep playing.
 
You could save the map as a scenario, then play it while disabling that victory condition.

Of course, this solution has its own problems. Not everything is saved in a scenario.
 
Open Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Assets\XML\Text\CIV4GameTextInfos.xml in Notepad. Find TXT_KEY_MISC_WINS_VICTORY and delete the line between your language tags below it (e.g. between <English> and </English>).

Here's how it's supposed to look:
Code:
	<TEXT>
		<Tag>TXT_KEY_MISC_WINS_VICTORY</Tag>
		<English></English>
		<French>%s1_PlyrName remporte une victoire de type : %s2_VctryName !</French>
		<German>%s1_PlyrName trägt den Sieg in der Kategorie %s2_VctryName davon!!!!</German>
		<Italian>%s1_PlyrName conquista una vittoria %s2_VctryName!</Italian>
		<Spanish>%s1_PlyrName ha obtenido una victoria %s2_VctryName</Spanish>
	</TEXT>

Backup the file before making any changes!
 
I copied the file to MODFOLDER\Assets\XML\Text\ and made the suggested modification, and it worked perfectly. So, thanks Lord N..

Why one has to go through this stupid hoop is beyond me.
